Start a new chapter...The Prontaprint Franchise
| The future looks bright for
Prontaprint. In the next five years, the European
print-on-demand sector is set to grow by 12%*. We’re the
best-known name in the UK market and the first print company ever
to be awarded Business Superbrand status by the Brand Council – an accolade
we’ve retained for several years. Now we’re ready to write the next chapter in our story. We’re looking for people with the unique mix of entrepreneurial spirit and instinct for teamwork that is needed to succeed in this business. It’s a chance to take a proven commercial formula and put your own mark on it – with plenty of freedom to take control of your own destiny while enjoying a strong core of central support. We believe the best part of our story is yet to come. We need you to help us write it. *CAP Ventures 2005 |  |
Opportunities
| Opening a new Prontaprint
centre is always a major challenge, but it’s much easier when
you consider the training, technical support and financial backing
we provide. There are 4 entry routes: Buy an existing Prontaprint business that is up for resale You could buy an existing centre from a Franchisee who is looking to move on or retire. Buy an independent business we have located that wishes to sell At any given time, there are independent print and design businesses in particular areas who are open to the possibility of selling. We’ll support you in finding the right business for sale, negotiating the best deal and giving you access to the best support – we will then rebrand the business so you can become part of one of the most successful Franchises in the UK and Ireland. |
Open a greenfield
site
Start a brand new business.This gives you the maximum freedom to
choose your ideal location and recruit your own staff. You’ll
also have an immediate headstart, as you’ll draw on the
latest technology and best supplier deals, along with one of the most
recognised and trusted brand names in the business. There are
possibilities all over the UK and Ireland.
Management
buy-in
Finally, you could join an existing
Prontaprint centre as a senior sales employee, with a
view to acquiring the
business later on through a management buy-in. It would mean
working for an existing Franchisee and
agreeing a transfer of ownership
over time.
| Our
market The print-on-demand market has changed a huge amount in recent years, embracing many breakthroughs in design and print. We’ve stayed right at the forefront of those changes, consistently investing in state-of-the-art technology to stay one step ahead of the competition. Our services now cover everything from large-scale colour display printing to personalised direct mail campaigns – for clients ranging from owner operators to major blue-chip organisations. Trusted to deliver, every time. Our business is all about being trusted to deliver – every time. We need people who can live up to that promise. People whose ambitions are as big as our own. In return, you can count on us to deliver all the support you’ll need to be successful. Many of our centres now have a turnover in excess of £1 million. In a few years’ time, there’s no reason why yours shouldn’t be the same. You’ll need to be a business professional with a well-rounded commercial background, a strong instinct for sales and a good degree of IT literacy. You’ll also bring a rare combination of personal qualities: individual flair and ability; a clear head for business; plenty of drive and commitment; and the ability to contribute to (and get the best out of) the Prontaprint network as a whole. If you can offer those qualities, we’ll offer all the training, advice and support that you’d expect from one of Europe’s longest-standing and most successful Franchise operations. |  |

Case Study:
Basingstoke
| Before taking over our Basingstoke
centre in 2005, Paul and Andrea had already owned a print-on-demand
Franchise for 10 years, before leaving to set up their own design
consultancy in Spain. When they decided to return home, the natural choice was to go back into Franchising. “We wanted to stay within the trade we know so well, so when the opportunity came along for Prontaprint Basingstoke, we didn’t hesitate." Backed by the latest digital equipment, Paul and Andrea are already reaping the benefits. Paul and Andrea Goodrich, Prontaprint Basingstoke |  |
