Fantastic Services Launches reduced cost programme to say thank you to NHS

Founders Anton Skarlatov and Rune Sovndahl

Fantastic Services, the UK's leading home services franchise, is launching a reduced-cost programme to say thank you to NHS workers.  

Fantastic Services, which has just recorded its best-ever year with record turnover, is looking to assist NHS workers in launching their own home services business and is offering them a reduced cost programme saving them 20% of the initial investment.  

The home services franchise is also offering a reduced-cost programme to UK first responders and UK veterans. Fantastic Services offers 100+ high-end services to domestic and commercial customers. It has a global network of 530 franchisees who service over 50,000 customers per month.  

Co-founders Rune Sovndahl and Anton Skarlatov, who launched the franchise back in 2009, say they are determined to give something back to the UK after it has provided such a fantastic platform for their award-winning business.   

Rune Sovndahl explains: "We are determined to give something back to the UK after it has treated us so well since the launch of Fantastic Services in 2009. This is why we are launching the reduced cost programme, they have provided us all with such a great service, so it is our turn to help them.

"We want to help them launch their own home services business, so they can enjoy a high-quality life after everything they have done for this country. We have a proven business model which works, have invested over £20 million in state of the art technology, including a bespoke CRM system and booking app, and offer 100+ services, so we are constantly in demand 12 months a year. We also have a team of 500 experts at HQ who constantly generate sales leads for the franchisees so they can focus on delivering great customer service rather than worrying about sales. So we have all the tools in place to almost guarantee success."

Anton Skarlatov adds: "Our priority as a company is to give all our franchisees the best possible experience. We are constantly evolving and investing in the future to ensure we provide a platform which inspires growth. As a company, we are innovators. We started out as a cleaning company in 2009 but then saw the huge potential we were missing out on by not increasing our portfolio of services. Fast forward to today, and we are the only UK-based franchise to be named in the Franchise Direct top 100 global franchises."  

The minimum investment for a Fantastic Services Franchise is £19,000 + VAT, from which UK veterans get 20% off (approx £3,800). An additional £15,000 of working capital is also required. Third-party funding is available in most instances, as over the years, Fantastic Services has made great connections with high-street banks that know and like their business model. Typically, if franchisees follow the business model and work hard, they manage to create a self-sustaining business in 4-8 months and enjoy a return on their initial investment in the first 16-24 months.

Fantastic Services also offers a Working Franchise program, to help aspiring entrepreneurs who are not interested in managing others, who don't have business insights and prefer to operate on-site. This opportunity enables franchisees to provide on-site services while working to their own schedule, not worrying about finding new customers and getting all the support needed to transform their home services' skills into a successful business. This low-investment opportunity also offers a 20% discount on the initial fee to first responders.
