How do I finance my Green Acres franchise?
Our Alliance Partners ANZ Bank can help!
You can apply for a business loan at your own bank where they may be able to lend up to 50% of the purchase price, or further lending if you have equity in your home. We also work closely with Alliance Partners ANZ Bank and Heartland Bank.
As much as you want!
You get to choose what level of turnover/income you want to start your Green Acres franchise with. But there's no need to stop there – you can make even more money depending on your desire and motivation without being penalised for doing so!
How is Green Acres different from its competitors?
Green Acres is the most recognised Home and Commercial Services brand in New Zealand. Here are four key reasons why the Green Acres franchise system has grown to be so successful:
1. Fixed fees
The weekly royalty and brand levy fees paid weekly by our franchisees are fixed. There's no uncertainty over outgoing payments and no penalties for earning more money in a given week.
2. We give you the power to be your own boss and truly run your own business
With our comprehensive training and ongoing support, our franchisees:
Quote jobs for clients and deal directly with them.
Invoice jobs personally and receive payment straight into their own bank accounts (not ours).
Take care of their own tax returns and GST payments.
3. 21st century technology
Our award-winning franchise system is managed electronically, eliminating paper trails and saving our franchisees hundreds of dollars each year. Jobs are received, quoted and invoiced electronically, meaning no unnecessary trips to the post office and no long hours filling out paperwork.
4. Big brand Alliance Partners
We've aligned ourselves with some of the most recognised brands in New Zealand, giving you the power to buy at the right price. Our current Alliance Partners include Vodafone, Bunnings, ANZ, Xero, Z Energy and Rothbury Insurance.
Do I need experience to become a Green Acres franchisee?
Our comprehensive training, ongoing support and award-winning systems remove the need for experience.
All you'll need is a good attitude and work ethic along with the desire to own your own business and be in charge of your life. With those traits, you're already well on your way to being a successful Green Acres business owner.
How does the Green Acres Guarantee work?
The guarantee is based on the average weekly gross turnover for the first 2 years. If you stick to the business and marketing plan put together in training along with following everything your are taught while being trained and fully commit to running your own business by not turning down work and losing jobs through poor workmanship then we guarantee you will earn the level of income you bought into and even more.
What is the term of a contract with Green Acres
Term? What term? We know things change unexpectedly, so we don't have a fixed term on our commercial cleaning agreements. Other terms and conditions can be found under the Things you need to know section
