Printing.com franchise

Printing.com is a fast-growing UK- based printing company that has over 300 outlets in the UK and Ireland. We offer a wide range of services for both commercial and personal use: from greeting cards, to flyers, to calendars, and even advertisement posters —we have it all! Our outlets have the latest printing devices, and all our production hubs produce only the greatest quality available. We also have templates ready for clients who are in a rush or don’t really know what they want. All these combined gives our clients the reason they need to continue backing to us for our cost-efficient services.

The perks

You will get to operate in an in-demand market that requires the latest technology, and luckily, our franchisees get to share in our knowledge and experience. Furthermore, our franchisees will now get to enjoy our successful “Bolt-on” concept. Simply put, franchisees can form partnerships with other established printing shops —usually located in the smaller towns and districts— to create their own network of “mini-franchisees.” This allows the territorial franchisee to share in the license fees and ongoing revenues —3 to 8 Bolt-ons could increase your profits by 50%. Our successful business model —Bolt-on— has allowed us to grow even more during these past 2 years, and our franchisees have greatly benefited from it. This has also allowed us to bag numerous entrepreneurial and franchising awards; which backs up our pride in being one of the leading retails in the industry.

All our franchisees will have access to our multi-award winning state-of the-art in house printing technology to produce images with the same quality as ours. Prior to your grand opening, you will receive classroom training and operational audits; all in preparation for the launch of your business. Franchisees get to benefit from our national advertising as they are featured on our website —clients will be directed to them based on their location. Moreover, get to enjoy our client base of over 60,000: which consists of both SMEs and major corporates. Overall, our franchisees can invest with confidence knowing they have full training and support from their franchisor.

If you are a goal-oriented individual with the willingness to learn and commit to our business model —then you’re on the right track! Our franchisees come from various backgrounds; we don’t necessarily require you to have experience in printing. Applicants with existing graphic businesses can already use the Bolt-on concept to create a partnership with it as well. It takes around £100,000 to start operations, and our partnered banks are willing to lend a portion of that amount. Overall, we are looking for proactive people who can bring good and fresh ideas to create good client relationships.

Printing.com was founded in 1992 by Tony Rafferty. For the next 2 years he devised its business model until it was ready for operation in 1994. It started off as a shop that printed flyers for nightclub owners, until it expanded into the network it is today.
