Southwest Greens - Synthetic Putting Greens, Lawns and Play Areas
This is a limited opportunity to buy one of only 10 regional franchises in a new and very profitable sector of the golf industry, installing synthetic putting greens.
The business is potentially very profitable for the right candidates - OUR PILOT OPERATION HAD ANNUAL ADJUSTED NET PROFITS OF WELL OVER £100k in 2006. The long-run profit potential could be much higher still, possibly based on multiple teams per territory.
If you want to work in the golf industry, are comfortable selling a premium product and think you can build a successful business given the right oportunity, read on.
The synthetic turf industry is experiencing rapid growth in the UK and indeed worldwide. Southwest Greens is the market leader in a specialised niche within this industry, synthetic turf for golf - we install synthetic putting greens, fringe, light rough surrounds and tees. Our products represent the ultimate golf practice facility, a green that looks, feels and reacts just like the best natural greens, but without the maintenance problems of natural turf.
As well as golf products, we can also install luxury lawns and play areas, which is a fast-growing area in it's own right.
Our golf greens are so realistic that they are used by over 30 tour pro golfers for their personal practice sessions at home. As well as pro golfers, our customers range from keen amateurs and homeowners looking for premium quality residential installations, to golf clubs and driving ranges, to luxury hotels, country clubs and other leisure venues. Visit our website www.southwestgreens.co.uk to see the possibilities, which are many and varied.
The concept of synthetic golf greens was launched over 10 years ago in the USA and has been developing ever since in terms of playability as well as aesthetics. With the help of feedback from leading pro golfers, Southwest Greens have pursued a successful R&D strategy and we have developed our turf technology and installation system to the point where we can genuinely rival the best natural greens in look, feel and performance.
We have superior products that delight our customers and regularly receive tremendous feedback from pro golfers, the golfing press, industry experts and residential customers alike. Our list of pro golfer endorsements is nothing short of incredible and is itself usually enough to project us head and shoulders above the competition. Once prospective customers go on to try out one of our greens for themselves, the superiority of our turf technology quickly becomes apparent and they invariably want their own green as soon as possible.
Southwest Greens are used and endorsed by Sergio Garcia, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, Justin Rose and many other top pro golfers.
Southwest Greens has its world headquarters located in Scottsdale, AZ but is now franchised into 20 countries worldwide including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Scandinavia, Ireland, Spain, France, Benelux and China.
This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of the Southwest Greens UK franchise network. A successful pilot operation has been run in the South East and we are now looking for just 10 franchisees (8 in England, 1 in Scotland and 1 in Wales) to take on regional territories and share in our success as we expand nationwide.
This business would suit someone who has a passion for golf and can see the tremendous potential in our sector, who wishes to invest in establishing a new business.
Or this is a perfect add-on business for those already working in the landscaping or similar industry, looking for another source of revenue from a complementary and highly profitable product set.
The local franchise will operate under the leadership of a national brand that is the market leader yet still competitively priced.
