Buying a business has always appealed to ambitious Aussies and now there is no better time to fulfil your business ownership dreams. Against a background of rising unemployment and economic uncertainty, taking control of your future makes sense. And what better way than to align with a recognised brand that provides training and support as you grow your business.
Choosing from one of three franchise options at Clark Rubber is a brilliant way to embark on business ownership.
While a side-hustle and start-up offers the heart-pumping challenges of solo entrepreneurship, a franchise purchase brings reassuring layers of training and support that can prove invaluable to new business owners.
Benefits of a franchise
Buying into a franchise gives the new business owner access to a wealth of benefits. There is brand recognition, franchisor expertise, technical knowledge, buying power, IT tools and platforms, marketing experience, day-to-day support, and peer mentoring.
And of course, training; one of the best advantages of a franchise is starting off a new business fully trained. The combination of training and support pitches a franchisee into the market with a clear competitive edge.
Clark Rubber is an iconic brand with over 75 years of trading experience in Australia and it delivers diverse opportunities for its franchise partners. It offers business franchise solutions from mobile pool service van operator through to full format store, catering for all budgets.
Clark Rubber has three formats
Mobile Pool Service Van
This is the perfect solution for someone seeking a lower entry price point business that is brimming with potential. The convenience and accessibility of the Clark Rubber Mobile Pool Service Van enables the franchisee to develop a niche market in their area and build a long-term income stream.
The business foundation begins with full training at the Clark Rubber Pool School and on-site in the field training.
Clark Rubber Mobile Pool Service Van franchisees gain technical qualifications through SPASA, Australia’s peak swimming pool and spa industry body. They gain Certificate 3 in Pool and Spa Technician as part of the franchise package.
Mobile van franchisees benefit from an exclusive marketing territory, business management software and tablet, and business marketing tools.
A mobile franchise investment is about $50,000. The package includes a uniform, business stationery, and a full range of stock.
Retail options
Clark Rubber has 60 stores across the country, and there are two exciting options for anyone seeking a retail opportunity.
A resale store purchase installs a franchisee in an existing store of about 500 to 600 sqm. This is in an exclusive marketing territory with about 1,000 pool addresses. As a turnkey operation it provides access to a comprehensive suite of training programs and marketing resources.
A Clark Pool and Spa business (about 100 sqm) adds in a mobile service van with a mapped territory. The territory includes, on average, 2,000 known pools.
The retail investments (which start at $200,000) include a four-week training and orientation program that takes a franchisee from classroom to store.
The Clark Rubber retail package also includes franchisor establishment fees, fixtures and fittings, Point of Sale system, a security system, signage, and a geodemographic report, as well as legal and accounting fees and insurance.
Iconic brand delivers ongoing support
Clark Rubber’s national support office provides ongoing training and support to all its franchisees. This premium support includes marketing assistance, operational guidance, finance and accountancy support, business development and supply chain logistics.
Clark Rubber continues to grow its iconic brand across the country and you could be part of this journey. As a franchisee you’ll gain all the advantages of excellent support as you grow your own business.
So why not back yourself, and run your own business backed up by a highly respected, homegrown Aussie brand with a wealth of experience?
