Business Organisation

The nature of a Dial a hubby franchise enables it to be run from home. It is usual for new Dial a hubby franchisees to commence trading with one liveried van, possibly increasing to two depending on the level of individual success at exploiting local market opportunities. Dial a hubby franchisees operate within pre-defined areas that typically encompass 200,000 residential premises as well as a mix of commercial and industrial premises. Customer enquiries will exist from day one, arising from directory adverts placed on behalf of the franchisee and Key Account customer. It is upon this base that you will build your business using the local marketing tactics.

As a Dial a hubby Franchisee you become one of many individuals who are committed to helping others and yourself. The dynamics of the business dictate that we will be constantly adding value to every franchisees business by the regular introduction and training of new fixed rate services through out the home maintenance & help sectors

No formal Trade or skills are required but a confident hands on approach to practical problem solving in the home is a major advantage,
