Franchising Opportunities

AlphaGraphics

Owned by the UK-based Pindar Group, AlphaGraphics is a marketing and visual communications company that employs a consultative approach to the supply of a wide range of services, including design, copy, print, web, email, social media and campaign management. From small and medium-sized enterprises to FTSE 100 companies, AlphaGraphics business centres fulfil the complex and growing marketing communications demands of clients, enabling them to achieve their goals quickly and confidently.

The combination of market leading technical expertise, extensive training and unrivalled ongoing support has led to the highest average sales in the industry. In 2010 AlphaGraphics UK business centres achieved an average annual turnover of over £1.5 million.

BENEFITS

When investing in an established franchise you receive a whole host of extra benefits beyond the brand, system, training and support. For example, AlphaGraphics is the only visual communications franchise to have attained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, standards that an independent would struggle to achieve and maintain.

As an AlphaGraphics business owner, you also benefit from the research of the company’s Technology Assessment Group. This team quickly identifies and integrates new technology into locations, forming strategic partnerships with the industry’s key suppliers and ensuring that you and your business are always able to offer the latest technology at the most competitive price.

The other major factor when considering starting your own business is finance. The banks look much more favourably on an established business such as AlphaGraphics, as it makes sense for them to back a model that has been proven across the world over 300 times.

Before you launch your business centre, you will attend a three-week intensive training course. Continuous ongoing support is then provided in the form of year-round seminars, video, web and computer-based instruction, and one-to-one on-site visits from experienced AlphaGraphics field consultants.

With currently only six franchisees in the UK, now is the best time to secure your territory. You will need at least £97,000, plus the ability to borrow, to set up your AlphaGraphics business centre.
