Supporting Our Franchisees
Business Management Support
We consider the C2C support structure to be one of the best in the country, aimed at ensuring our franchisees start their businesses in the right way, and progress them sensibly and successfully. The reason why we lay so much emphasis on the support element of the franchise is because many prospective franchisees are making the transition from employment to self employment for the first time. In these circumstances franchisees are uncertain about a number of issues as they embark on a new and exciting career. Some of these issues are listed below:
- Setting up a Ltd company (as a requirement of the Franchise Agreement)
- Applying for VAT registration
- Help with arranging suitable finance (if required)
- Advice on choosing a suitable accountant and the cost
Once you have been successful in your application you will be assigned an experienced franchise management team assisting you all the way in the running of YOUR business. From the moment you leave the course you will be working alongside the team who will have prepared the launch of your business enabling you to hit the ground running!
In addition to this all C2C franchisees are given access to a truly world class software system that virtually runs your business for you. We have invested heavily in this area of our business so that our franchisees are able to operate their businesses smoothly and profitably. So what does the software system actually help you with?
- Sales
- Lead Generation
- Lead Management
- Buying
- Stock Control
- Marketing
- Accounts
- Profit & Loss
- Cashflow
- Admin – Invoicing, MSF management
The Training Course
C2C franchisees learn how to provide the unique C2C service by embarking on a 5 day training course. The course is held at our head office in Ormskirk, Lancashire and is designed to cover all aspects of the C2C franchise business including business management, sales & marketing, C2C systems, software training, and detailed technical training, both practical and academic. Again, on going technical and managerial support is provided by the C2C support team who are dedicated to support the franchisees at all times
National Marketing
Whilst our Franchisees carry out their own marketing at a local level a substantial amount of the money that comes to us in fees is re-invested back in national marketing campaigns. This ensures that they are continually ‘topped up’ with extra leads which have been generated by head office.
These campaigns are carried out on your behalf throughout the year and there is no extra charge for them as the campaigns are funded from the normal monthly fees.
This way we can add substantial amounts of business to you and, as the campaigns are successful, we can invest in more and more campaigns for you!
So, if you think you qualify and can add to our successful, profitable network by running a Cloudy2Clear branch in your local area, don’t let other people profit from your abilities and hard work any longer.

What our Franchisees say…
Chris Lucas, Franchisee"I have to say that all the new initiatives from Head Office to support us and any new Franchisees that come on board is extremely encouraging. It’s great to feel part of a larger team and the knowledge and experience we pass amongst each other, through the management team, makes a big difference to all our profits"Ken McIntosh, Franchisee"It’s a great business, simple with a high demand for our services. As soon as the first advert was placed the phone started ringing with potential customers."Trevore Skidmore , Franchisee"Perhaps the most positive life-changing decision I have made was to purchase a Cloudy2Clear Franchise, having considered numerous other franchises prior to this."John Kendall, Franchisee"The day after my course I picked up my first sale. Brilliant! I’m 6 months in now and as cheesy as it may sound the only regret I have is that I didn’t take the plunge years ago…"Tony Telford, Franchisee"It definitely helped having the franchise experts involved to launch my business. They did so with a comprehensive PR and advertising campaign which proved to me that advertising in the right medium works for this business."
