🏠 Restore Homes, Rebuild Lives: Franchise with Aspray
A Respected Brand in Insurance and Property Restoration
Aspray has built a strong reputation as a market leader in its field. Since launching in 2005, the business has grown to include a network of franchisees across the UK. It is a full member of the British Franchise Association (BFA) and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)—a major advantage for franchisees offering claims management services.
Franchisees run a business that helps clients through stressful and often urgent property claims, from initial damage assessment through to overseeing repairs and ensuring policyholders receive their rightful insurance settlement.
How the Business Model Works
Aspray offers an independent, home-based business that grows into an asset over time. Franchisees start by managing every aspect of their business—from client relations and damage assessment to contractor coordination and project oversight.
Here’s how the claim process typically works:
- A residential or commercial property suffers damage
- The franchisee steps in to assess the situation and take the stress off the property owner
- A claim is submitted and funds secured from the insurer
- The franchisee manages the entire restoration project
- The property is returned to its original condition—or better
It’s a highly rewarding role with strong earning potential and the satisfaction of delivering life-changing results to customers.
Why Choose Aspray?
- FCA regulation gives franchisees a competitive advantage
- The brand is well-established and led by its founder, James Whittle, who still runs a live franchise territory
- Large exclusive territories with potential to add more as you grow
- Business is recession-resilient with steady demand from both residential and commercial markets
- Claims management services are in increasing demand due to extreme weather events
Whether you’re looking to build a local business or scale into a larger operation, the opportunity to grow with Aspray is significant.
Training and Support
Franchisees benefit from one of the most comprehensive training programmes in the sector, aligned with BDMA (British Damage Management Association) standards. No experience in insurance or property restoration is required—just a passion for project management and strong organisational skills.
Support includes:
- Initial and ongoing training in claims handling, project management, business development, and compliance
- Regular performance coaching and mentoring
- Marketing and lead generation guidance
- National conferences and networking events to connect with fellow franchisees
- Ongoing support from a head office team who operate their own territory and stay closely involved in daily challenges
This supportive and collaborative environment is often described as a “big family of like-minded people.”
A Scalable, High-Revenue Business
Franchisees typically start from home and grow into office-based teams. Many choose to expand into multiple territories. Financial potential includes:
- Start-up investment from £53,000 (minimum £17,000 liquid capital)
- Up to 70% funding support available via major lenders
- Top 8% of franchisees currently turning over between £1M – £2.1M
- Ambitious franchisees aiming for £3M – £5M+ in turnover
While no earnings are guaranteed, the business model is proven, and demand remains strong even during economic uncertainty.
Who Makes a Great Franchisee?
Successful Aspray franchisees are not defined by industry background but by key personal attributes. You should be:
- Calm, well-organised and commercially astute
- A strong communicator who builds trust with clients
- Passionate about project management and delivering excellent results
- Able to meet the FCA’s clean record requirements
- Willing to invest the required capital and commit to long-term growth
If you’re motivated by challenge, variety, and helping people in need, this could be the ideal franchise for you.
