9 reasons to choose Jasper's franchise

Reason 1 - Improve your lifestyle

Jasper’s is a catering business in which you don't have to work weekends or evenings - almost unheard off in the catering world.

Now this may sound too good to be true and the reality is that starting any new business is bound to be hard work and involve plenty of "getting your hands dirty" after all you will want to know how every part of your business works. And in the early days your new business is bound to take up quite a lot of your time (and thoughts), if anyone tells you different then are not telling you the truth.

However, once you've had the chance to review how to run a Jasper's Franchise and you've seen the systems that we use to help us, you'll clearly see that in no time at all you'll be able to easily manage your own time, work less than 50 hours a week and enjoy your new life style.

Reason 2 - business to business customers

All our customers are other businesses, Office complexes, local businesses, training centres etc. We do not sell to the general public.

There is no serving walk in customers off the high street, no shoplifters, no dealing with queues at a checkout, and certainly no dealing with customers that have had one too many on a Saturday night.

At Jasper’s you will quickly build a large number of clients, made up of local and national businesses who will use your services regularly. Some of your customers will order daily, some weekly, some every month, the important thing is, you will build solid long lasting relationships with your customers. Over the years many will become your friends.

Reason 3 - No high street retail premises. This means a quicker Return on investment and higher profit margins. If you've looked into other food franchise businesses you'll notice that most of them require you to have high street premises. High street retail premises equals much higher rental costs and a much higher upfront investment for fitting out your premises. Typically, this means that it takes much longer to find and equip suitable premises and get started, which will be a drain on your resources. This all adds up to a much tougher and longer pay-back on your investment. Also, the competition on the high street is fierce. You’re up against everyone from the local takeaway to all the giant multi-national corporations. Margins are also thinner, you need massive volume to succeed and you never feel in control of your business.

We believe Jasper's is the perfect alternative for anyone looking to own a business in the food industry without the high costs and investment required for high street premises. As a Jasper's franchisee your business will run on a 60% profit margin and you'll soon be able to earn an excellent income whilst still having the free time to enjoy it!

Reason 4 - We GUARANTEE to supply you with at least 30 appointments with people who buy your services

We provide all the support you need to quickly get customers for your business. We've learnt many lessons over the years we've been in the catering business, many of them the hard and expensive way. But one thing's for certain - We know how to get customers!

As part of your franchise fee we'll include your first 30 appointments with people who buy your services. That’s 30 meetings already booked for you.

To be honest the fewest we have booked for existing franchisees was 55.

We will continue to provide you with additional data of people who buy your services in your first year in addition to the customer leads you will find.

In the early days we will attend the meetings with you if you require the support, remember we are there to help ensure you have all the tools and skills you need to succeed.

We also provide our superb Marketing Launch Package as part of your fee so you can start to generate even more leads from the minute you open.

Reason 5 - Unique business management system

One of our biggest competitive advantages is our unique, award winning, Business Management System. At Jasper’s we’ve worked hard and spent a lot of time and money automating as much of our business as possible. This makes the day-to-day running of the business go like clockwork, benefiting both our customers and our colleagues (and franchisees of course).

Jasper's online business systems won the Birmingham Chamber Of Commerce "Trading Online" award (by royal approval). Jasper's were also Small Business Of The Year runner up and were the regional finalists for the West Midlands for Shells "Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award"

During the Franchisee appointment process we'll show you in detail how our business runs. I promise you you'll be impressed with how cutting edge and sophisticated our business is. But don't confuse technology with meaning complicated because it's not. The whole point when we started to develop this process was to make things simpler for customers and colleagues (and make life easier for us!). And with our thorough professional training you'll soon have no trouble understanding and managing the process.

Reason 6 - The service we provide is in high demand as businesses desire what we offer

As a corporate catering company our business operates in the fiercely competitive environment of food retail, and the industry is huge! The Food retail business in the UK is worth £29.87 billion (source: Mintel Report 2005) and is growing at around 4.3% a year. Sandwiches, which form a key part of our offer, is the fastest growing sector within this category. In the UK in 2005 the UK spent £2.7 billion on sandwiches, an increase of 9% on the previous year.

Added to the huge potential market there are also social changes that are adding to the growth of corporate catering businesses. Increased work pressures lead to shorter lunch breaks and working lunches are now more common place than ever. Working lunches mean that workers are more likely to order lunch in so they can continue their meeting.

Reason 7 - Your rewards at last reflect your efforts

You can earn a top level income from owning a Jasper's franchise. We've prepared a detailed franchisee financial planner based on the business that we actually do from our Head Office site (in fact we've worked out the income from very conservative figures) so you can clearly see the potential of this opportunity. We’ll go through this in detail when we meet you.

A franchise with Jasper's could truly give you the income level and lifestyle that you're looking for

Reason 8 - You’re never alone, you get a support structure that includes experienced people with proven business skills to ensure your success

When we decided that franchising was the ideal way to grow Jasper's, the first thing we turned our attention to was the support structure (management team) that we would need in place to manage the operation. Increasing from a single unit business to having multiple outlets run by franchisees was a task that required a dedicated franchise head office support team.

So not only will you have the support of Jasper's Directors, Nathan and Paul, who are experts in running a successful corporate catering business, you'll also have the support of Jasper's marketer, birmingham operations manager, a supportive franchise network and an independent financial advisor (not employed by Jasper's).

The unique point about our management team is that we’re all paid on results. No one earns a salary from this business, the only way we earn any money is the same way you do – by helping your business to be successful. If you are not succesful then we are not succesful - it's that simple.

I think you’ll agree that we really do have a structure in place committed to helping you succeed.

Reason 9 - Our production processes are not complicated

In just a few days on our franchisee training course you'll soon see how simple the process is. However, the idea of this business is not for you to be hands on every day making buffet lunches for your customers, far from it. We want you to have the time to spend growing and developing your business. So as we mentioned earlier, to make things as easy as possible for you we've automated as much of the business as we can, unfortunately we can not elaborate on this at this stage of the process.
