A pest control franchise fed by a national booking platform, from owner-operator to area developer
Fantastic Services is a home services brand operating since 2009, with more than 530 franchise partners across the UK, Australia and New Zealand serving over 50,000 customers a month. Pest control is one of the services it franchises, for both domestic and commercial customers.
Franchisees work through the company’s technology platform, which it says has received more than £20 million of investment. The platform handles online booking, job dispatch, customer communications, invoicing and review management, while a back-office team runs marketing, SEO and lead generation, routing ready-to-book jobs to partners.
From one van to an area business
The pest control franchise comes in tiers. An owner-operator carries out the work personally, while an area developer builds a larger business in a territory. Fantastic Services provides training and operational compliance support, covering areas such as pesticide use, licensing and COSHH regulations.
The company says its franchise partners typically break even within four to eight months and recover their investment within 18 to 24 months.
