Using our name to your advantage

An Interlink Express franchise is a contract to provide and sell our service in a certain area for a nominated time period. It gives you the support of a large, successful company with a trusted name and reputation, while allowing you the autonomy to run the business as your own. In this way the franchise holder takes responsibility for the business, but also enjoys the rewards. With the back-up of an established company like Interlink Express the risks are minimised and the opportunities enhanced.

• Interlink Express is a full member of the British Franchise Association (BFA), established to monitor franchisors and provide support to members.
• Interlink Express has a comprehensive nationwide network of franchises, which means that when you take possession of one it will be an established business with properly prepared accounts. You will not be investing in a concept but in a live business.
• Taking over an established franchise with a proven method reduces the risks associated with starting a new business.
• Interlink Express provides a comprehensive induction and training programme, essential before you take over a franchise.
• You are paid monthly for all collections and deliveries that you make, enabling you to plan and control your cash flow.
• Because Interlink Express raises and collects all invoices relating to packages sent through the system, you will not be responsible for customer debts.
• Interlink Express provides full and on-going assistance and advice on all areas of your business, including financial and administrative support.
• A regular and constantly updated training programme for you and your staff.
• Regular meetings enable you to keep in contact with other franchise holders.
• On-going business development advice.
• Interlink Express constantly monitors marketing and business trends in order to keep you informed of relevant developments within the industry.

Investment and return

Initial investment can vary but is usually between £100,000 and £500,000 and covers an initial franchise agreement period of 10 years, which after that time, can be increased in terms of five years. Profit from the business should allow you to repay this within the term while still providing you with a good income - effectively leaving you to build up the business and enjoy the future rewards.
