Occasionally an Ovenu Franchise will become available for purchase, so there could be one near you!
A re-sale will be genuine, and is usually because the existing Franchisee is retiring, or is looking to see a return on their initial investment. It may be that the existing Franchisee is relocating to another area of the UK or even looking at taking on an Ovenu Franchise in one of our ever increasing overseas locations.
A re-sale offers you a superb opportunity to take over an existing and established area with a good customer base and an income from day 1. The resale will come complete with a data-base of existing clients, good size territory and a liveried vehicle, training and ongoing support.
What could be better?…Sensible investment into an established brand and money coming through from the start. So much easier than starting ‘from scratch’!
The ‘re-sale’ process is a bit like taking over an established shop on the High Street. The current owner has built a good reputation locally for offering exactly what the customers need. He’s a cheerful and helpful soul who understands the importance of giving only first class service to customers. Usually there will be the opportunity to expand the business well beyond the sales previously achieved, and we can help you to do that. So, the shop owner finds a buyer, stocks up the shop, hands over the keys on, say, a Friday evening.
On Saturday morning the new owner takes over by opening the door. New and existing customers start coming in and handing over money! And why not?…it’s an existing business! The shop front is the same. The layout is the same. Nothing is different apart from the cheerful and enthusiastic guy behind the counter collecting the money! Nearly the same principle applies to Franchise Re-Sales but with the advantage of having the franchisor’s ongoing support and guidance to help you achieve more success.
When a new Franchisee joins a network, they will be trained by the Franchisor as part of the resale package. To see how Franchising works, please visit the useafranchise.com website. The in-coming Franchisee will be given all the up to date information that they need to drive their business further forward.

“My initial enquiry was handled efficiently and subsequent meetings were relaxed, informative and totally honest and transparent.I was even more impressed at being shown the Ovenu system ‘for real’ at clients’ homes so I could clearly understand my role. Spending a day with an actual franchisee was invaluable.”
Keith Archer (Ovenu Andover)
“I acquired the Newbury area franchise in 2005 as a five year old business. I wish I’d made the move earlier ! I have taken the franchisors advice and have nearly doubled previous profits. The re-sale route provided me with immediate income from existing clients and I’ve modified the previous marketing to bring my whole business ‘up to date’. The initial guidance and on-going support from the franchisor has been excellent. I’ll be looking at expanding my business further in due course. I’d strongly recommend getting involved with Ovenu via the re-sale route if there’s an area available near you. “
Keith Janes (Ovenu Newbury)
“I’ve expanded my existing business by buying a second area as a re-sale. The out-going franchisee was looking at selling for a genuine reason. He needed to re-locate overseas to tend a poorly relative. The franchisor acted swiftly and I jumped at the opportunity. I now have my son working with me in the second van covering the two areas. Further expansion is planned for next year as our order book continues to grow.
The re-sale purchase was professionally handled by the franchisor making the process ‘seamless’ and I’ve enjoyed a steady flow of trade from the re-sale area database. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending an Ovenu re-sale”
Colin Brine (Ovenu London S.E.)
“I took over the Ovenu Liverpool South franchise area in October 2006. The re-sale route has enabled me to trade from day one ! I came back from my induction training to find over two weeks worth of appointments in the diary ! Not sure that I could have expected better. The franchisor and the out-going franchisee helped enormously with the sale and transfer of the business and to bring me fully up to speed with all the aspects I needed to know to trade profitably. My van was re-fitted , PR arranged, web-site built, photos taken etc….the list is almost endless !! I’m now looking forward to working for myself but with the on-going help and support from a network that really knows what they are doing.”
Kenny Griffiths (Ovenu Liverpool South)
“The Ovenu (Reading) franchise was offered to me two and a half years ago as the existing franchisee was re-locating within the UK. Since then the business has seen significant growth to the point that my son now works with me to handle the workload ! Right from day one the phone hasn’t stopped ringing. We are extremely pleased that we took the opportunity when we did and we’re also looking to expand further. The help and on-going support from the franchisor is invaluable especially in the marketing side of things. That’s a huge benefit to working within the framework of a franchise. We set the height of the bar with our work / life balance and the franchisor helps us to get over it ! We see good times ahead.”
