Fantastic Services Offer Grant for New Franchisees

FANTASTIC SERviCES

A grant of up to £5,000 is now available to start a franchise business with Fantastic Services

The UK’s leading home services franchise has launched a grant programme to fund 150 small businesses and support London’s post-covid economy.

As Covid-19 has changed the business landscape in several industries, the demand for property maintenance has boomed. The UK’s largest service franchise has vowed to support those affected during the pandemic by offering a grant covering most of the expenses for starting a home services business in London and other areas.

After a tremendous expansion with more than 20 new areas launched across the whole country in the past year, the franchise specialising in cleaning, gardening, handyman, pest control, removals and other property services has launched the initiative with the slogan “For those who CAN’T, we give a GRANT!”

“Our grant programme is designed to help those who lost their job, self-employed tradespeople, as well as small businesses within the service industry that were negatively impacted by the pandemic. The grant covers most of the expenses for starting a working franchise business with Fantastic Services,” said Anton Skarlatov, co-founder and CEO.

“Since the start of the pandemic, we have looked for ways to give back to the community, offering free services to NHS and frontline workers. With the new grant programme, we are able to provide a viable alternative to employment through franchising and help anyone restart their career or business in a high-demand sector,” added Rune Sovndahl, co-founder and Board Chair.
