🚚 Drive Your Future Forward with an Autosmart Franchise

A Market Leader with a Proven Legacy

The Autosmart Franchise has been helping entrepreneurs build profitable businesses for over 45 years. Recognised as the largest supplier of professional cleaning products to the trade in the UK, Autosmart operates on a “mobile showroom” model — franchisees use fully equipped vans to deliver and demonstrate over 300 high-quality cleaning and janitorial products directly to customers at their place of business.

With a customer base that includes car dealerships, valeters, plant hire companies, bus operators, funeral directors, and more, the scope for business growth is significant and diverse.

• Existing turnover in resale sites ranges from £60K–£300K per year.
