Blazes fireplace franchisees receive hands on support and assistance from the team of Directors and Senior Management, each with specialist skills relative to the business.
The strength of Blazes’ buying power means it can be both competitive in the central heating and fireplaces market while retaining healthy gross margins.
Buying a fireplace or central heating system is not an everyday activity. The type of retailing is commonly known as "destination shopping".
What this means in practice is that showrooms are ideally sited in secondary locations where rental costs are not as high.
The "other end" of the High Street is our favourite choice. Attention to details such as this means our franchises operate on he lowest possible cost base.
Blazes' purchasing power is not just used in negotiating with suppliers of fireplaces and central heating products.
All Blazes franchisees benefit from discounted insurance and health care packages, low cost finance, low cost credit card handling and preferential car lease schemes.
In addition, Blazes franchisees enjoy substantially reduced rates for advertising and marketing from a professional agency.
The potential for driving a Blazes Fireplaces and Central Heating business forward is huge. Business Building initiatives open the way to creating business opportunities with Interior Designers and new house builders.
For those with the will to work hard and the desire to succeed there is no limit to the business growth of a Blazes franchisee. Blazes Fireplace and Heating Centres have been in business since the 1980s.
Blazes has been active in the franchise market since the early 1990s. The success rate is unequalled in the franchise industry. Blazes enjoys the status of being a full and active member of the British Franchise Association.
The track record of Blazes’ existing franchisees means that all the major high street banks are keen to support us. In fact, Blazes has formal loan schemes in place with NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds TSB and HSBC.
Ask your bank for the details of the Blazes Franchise Schemes. Low rate business development loans are available in packages designed to match individual franchisee’s requirements.
In addition to the support from the major banks, Blazes franchise package is also eligible for support from the Government's DTI Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme.
An investment into a Blazes franchise is an investment for the future. It is Blazes’ aim to ensure that its franchisees enjoy a comfortable living whilst at the same time building a valuable asset for the future.
The cash requirement for the purchase and development of a Blazes Fireplace and Heating Centre franchise is the lowest entry level for any recognised retail franchise showroom business.
