The Franchise Process

To become an Oltco Franchisee you will need to jump through a few hoops. You’ll want to get to know us too, we’ll be working together for a long time and making a big commitment to each other. We need to trust each other and enjoy working together.

Initially you will need to fill in forms and a questionnaire, which will help us assess the viability of your financial situation and work ethic.

You will then go through a series of interviews to see how your personality and communication skills will fit with our company.

We would expect the Franchisee selection process to take between 3 and 6 months in total.

During this time Oltco Franchise is on hand to answer any questions you have. It’s a good opportunity for you to research your area and start planning how to begin your local marketing campaign.

You will undergo a minimum of 2 weeks intensive training at our head quarters in Cornwall (All travel & accommodation costs will need to be covered by you).

Followed by continuous support and evaluation of your progress to make sure you have every opportunity to meet your self initiated targets.
