UK Kitchen Franchises
Fitted Kitchen Franchise Opportunity
In-toto: franchise profile
In-toto is the UK's leading fitted kitchen franchise, with a network of just under 50 highly successful franchised showrooms nationwide. Established in 1980, In-toto is a well recognised brand, synonymous with high quality, contemporary style and value for money; franchisees provide beautifully designed and well crafted kitchens from around £10,000 upwards, including all furniture, appliances and installation costs.
A vibrant marketplace
It has long been understood that a great kitchen is a key sales factor in the housing market, but the renewed focus popular culture has brought to creating a stylish home environment has made designer kitchens a more exciting, dynamic and profitable market sector to operate in than ever before. A recent survey of UK homeowners found that home improvements were top of the priority list, with 36% of respondents planning to fit a new kitchen or bathroom in their homes for 2006!
Experience and track record
Over the last twenty-five years, In-toto has developed unrivalled experience of running a successful business in this rewarding marketplace. Owned by German kitchen manufacturer, Alno/Wellmann Group, In-toto has extensive contacts with the best brands in the industry and has negotiated attractive deals with companies including Neff, AEG, Britannia, Smeg, Bauknecht and Miele - not to mention kitchen appliance giant Whirlpool, which is a part owner of Alno/Wellmann Group.
Many of our franchisees have been in operation for over 10 years - some for well over fifteen years, with top performers achieving six figure salaries plus! Most enjoy a lifestyle that they could only have dreamed of before becoming part of In-toto.
Intensive training and ongoing support
A number of our franchisees - although by no means all - have a previous background in the kitchen design and/or retailing industry. Whether or not you have experience in the sector, In-toto will provide all the training and support you need to become a successful franchisee. A comprehensive training programme covers sales & marketing, computer aided kitchen design, kitchen installation and financial planning/management. Before you start, In-toto will help you identify well located premises, plan your showroom and launch your business in style. Thereafter, a highly experienced team of franchise managers will provide one-to-one business development advice and support - particularly in the first year - including targeting potential customers using our sophisticated demographic database and recruiting any specialist help you need.
