How do I become a franchisee?
Follow our simple 8-step process to find out more about how to join our successful, home-based franchise opportunity.
Step 1
Initial Enquiry
Contact the Original Poster Company to find out more about franchising.
Step 2
Franchise information pack and an invite to an introductory meeting
After we receive your enquiry we shall send you an information pack consisting of a Franchise Prospectus, some product samples and an invitation to attend an introductory meeting.
Step 3
Attend an introductory meeting
The purpose of the meeting is to fully brief you on franchising with The Original Poster Company. We shall answer any questions you may have to help you decide if franchising is for you. If you are keen to pursue your interest, then return your application form to proceed to the next stage.
Step 4
Interview with OPC
This is our opportunity to get to know each other and explore your ambitions and the potential fit with an Original Poster Company franchise. The interview will take place at our Support Office in Walton‐on‐Thames, where you will have the opportunity meet the support team and ask more questions. At the end of the interview you will be informed if your application has been successful.
Step 5
Matched with a Franchise Opportunity
Once approved we can then seek to match you with a suitable area franchise opportunity. We will provide you with a full Business Prospectus and business plan, which we shall discuss in detail. You may take away the information with you to digest and discuss with your professional advisors.
Step 6
Purchase Agreement
If you wish to proceed with the opportunity you will be asked to provide us with your plans on how you will develop the franchise area. If at the end of the meeting we are all in agreement to proceed you will be asked to confirm your offer to purchase and pay a deposit.
Step 7
Timetable
We shall agree a timetable for the handover of the franchise with you and the franchisee selling the business to ensure a smooth transition and fully planned training and support. You will be provided with a Franchise Agreement and a Sale and Purchase Agreement.
