Start a Autosmart franchise

🚚 Drive Your Future Forward with an Autosmart Franchise

A Market Leader with a Proven Legacy

Autosmart has been franchising for over 45 years and is recognised as the largest supplier of professional cleaning products to the trade in the UK. It operates on a “mobile showroom” model—franchisees use fully equipped vans to deliver and demonstrate a wide range of cleaning and janitorial products directly to customers at their place of business.

With a product range of over 300 items and 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.

A Business Built Around You

An Autosmart franchise is designed for motivated individuals who want the benefits of self-employment without being on their own. You’ll be an owner-operator with exclusive rights to a carefully mapped territory, offering you the ability to grow at your own pace.

• No royalties—franchisees earn directly from product sales
• Franchisees have full control of their schedule and income
• Businesses often come with existing turnover—current re-sale sites generate £60K–£300K per year
• Average franchisee stays with the brand for 14 years

Whether you’re seeking a lifestyle change, career independence, or long-term financial security, the Autosmart model provides the tools, training, and customer base to get you started fast.

Full Training and Ongoing Support

No previous sales or motor trade experience? No problem. Autosmart provides industry-leading training and support from day one:

• Initial five-day induction at head office in Staffordshire
• Hands-on product and sales training to help you hit the ground running
• Ongoing coaching from a dedicated Regional Business Manager
• Regular training updates and networking with fellow franchisees
• Access to Autosmart’s central marketing team, logistics experts, and customer service resources

Franchisees are also encouraged to meet other operators before investing, ensuring you fully understand the opportunity and culture.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a full-time, weekday business that combines customer service, product delivery, and business development. Your day-to-day includes:

• Driving your mobile showroom to visit customers
• Demonstrating products on-site and providing tailored advice
• Managing stock, orders, and repeat sales
• Building strong relationships and generating new leads

Franchisees sell exclusively within their allocated territory, with no competition from other Autosmart operators.

A Scalable, Profitable Business

Autosmart operates in a £3 billion market and continues to dominate the UK’s trade cleaning products sector. Franchisees benefit from:

• A minimum investment of £35,000 (with various entry points depending on available capital)
• Access to bank funding for up to 70% of the total investment
• Business models with strong resale value
• Long franchise terms—initial five-year agreement renewable for up to 30 years

The company’s size and reputation offer immediate credibility, making it easier for new franchisees to establish relationships and grow their customer base quickly.
