Dream Doors

Enjoy Freedom and Profit with the
UK’s Leading Kitchen Facelift Franchise!

Why Dream Doors franchisees now enjoy greater rewards

What do you want from a franchise?

• To escape your current employment
• To enjoy a fresh start after redundancy
• To spend more time with your family
• To be the boss - and be in control of your future
• To earn a high income - and build an asset to sell

You can have all of this running your own Dream Doors franchise.

And you don't need any kitchen industry experience...

The key to your success with Dream Doors is YOU!

From £500 to £10million in just ten years!

So, who are Dream Doors?

With full membership of the bfa, Dream Doors has been successfully selling kitchen facelifts across the UK for more than 10 years. The business was started with just £500 in 1999, and last year achieved group turnover of more than £10 million.

There are now 30 Dream Doors showrooms across the country. The average yearly sales from a showroom is £350,000. With your commitment and determination, and our proven business model, you can expect to achieve more than £500,000 in annual turnover beyond year 2.

There are many reasons why the Dream Doors management franchise is built for your success. We are:

• Full members of the British Franchise Assocation (bfa)
• Winners of the bfa's Brand Builder of Year 2008
• Winners in the National Training Awards
• Double winners in the Franchise Marketing Awards

Dream Doors franchisees also make regular appearances on ITV's 60 Minute Makeover!

Record sales and growth. Despite the downturn!

Last year, the Dream Doors network achieved an 18 percent increase in sales, with some exceptional performances from hard working franchise owners. Dream Doors Lincoln's Chris Hann sold a staggering £91,237 in February, and £111,408 in November. His outstanding performance secured him the coveted 'franchisee of the year' award at December's annual conference.

Says Chris: "One of the most enjoyable aspects of the business is that you are driven by your customers and not by a boss. This is a dynamic environment to work in. No two days are ever the same."

In addition, Dream Doors branches in Dorset and Nottingham each achieved turnover of more than £500,000 for the third year running.

Why demand for Dream Doors will continue to grow

A Dream Doors kitchen facelift is popular with customers for three good reasons:

1. It saves them time
2. It saves them money
3. It saves them hassle

This means that Dream Doors’ services and products are in demand, which means all 30 of its franchisees are in demand. That’s what makes Dream Doors profitable for everyone involved.

Did you know that 80% of Dream Doors' customer base is in the 50+ age group?

This is the most rapidly growing demographic, and its great for Dream Doors franchisees, because this key group has the most disposable income. Those in the 50+ age group aren’t looking to move house; they simply want to improve what they already have – usually without the hassle of a full re-fit. Dream Doors provides the ideal solution…made to measure replacement doors.

Moreover, customers feel confident dealing with a local business owner who has the backing of a national brand. That’s every single one of Dream Doors’ franchisees.

No kitchen experience needed. Why? Because, believe it or not, you'll never have to fit a kitchen!

Dream Doors get straight on the case to help you find the perfect kitchen installation team. Which means you can focus on what you do best – meeting customers and running your business.

Helen and Philip Mahon from Dream Doors in Norfolk have come a long way in the last three years. Says Helen: “We'd never done anything like this before. Running a business, selling to customers and working in the kitchen industry were all very new to us. We've had quite a steep learning curve, but it’s been an exciting challenge. I’ve never felt so excited, enthusiastic or inspired by work before. This is a whole new experience!”

She adds, “The training and support is fantastic, and has reinforced the fact that we made the right decision choosing Dream Doors as a franchise. There have been plenty of visits from our Franchise Support Manager to keep us on the right path. And we’ve also had courses in sales, finance and building regulations which have been really useful.”

How Dream Doors has helped its franchisees become even more profitable

Dream Doors is putting more pounds in its franchisees pockets. How? By staggering the Management Service (MS) fee all franchisees pay as a percentage of their annual turnover. What this means is that you can now add thousands of pounds of profit to your bottom line, simply by hitting certain, very achievable targets.

Explained in more detail, MS fees are needed to cover Dream Doors’ operating costs, which include things such as training, franchisee support, marketing, IT and head office facilities. With the new MS fee structure, when any Dream Doors franchisee turns over more than £275,000, the MS fee drops to 6.2%. And when sales exceed £400,000, the fee plummets to just 4.2%.

This means the more you earn, the less you pay! What could be fairer than that?
