About Us
We have spent 20 years developing our brand and ethos based on fantastic customer service, transparent pricing in everything we do, high quality service provision and ethical trading.
It is now time for us to make ASK a household name.
To enable us to do this we need franchise partners in the form of ambitious, professional, business minded people who crave success.
We have two types of franchise opportunity.
1. ASK No Cost Franchise
Set up to the same levels as an expensive high quality franchise in terms of training and support, this allows you to represent the group and promote and sell all the services we offer, with very high commissions paid.
Full training and access to our worldwide system is provided.
We have used this franchise model abroad in our translation division with great success, giving us representation in 12 countries.
And we are already in the final stages of launching further ASK divisions giving you additional products and services to sell and promote.
How our No Cost Franchise system works
• You will receive full training in all of the Company's services, systems and procedures
• All marketing and promotional material is provided
• You will have access to ASK's impressive portfolio and 20 years trading history
• We will constantly update our websites promoting all the services you sell for us
• Full back up and support will be provided by our friendly and experienced team
• Our IT team will install all the software you need on your laptop
• You will be given full access to our system
• The clients you bring in always remain yours across all the group services
• High commission is paid to you on all the work provided by our teams to your clients
Earning Potential
If you are successful £100,000+ per year is easily achievable.
On our generous, uncapped commission scheme, we pay:
• A 25% COMMISSION ON ALL SALES OF ASK INTERNET SERVICES
• A 25% COMMISSION ON ALL SALES OF ASK OPTIMISATION SERVICES
• A 20% COMMISSION ON ALL SALES OF ASK PRINT SERVICES
• A 20% COMMISSION ON ALL SALES OF ASK CREATIVE SERVICES
• A 15% COMMISSION ON ALL SALES OF ASK TRANSLATION SERVICES
As we add other divisions both internally and via our Your Brand Franchise Scheme, further services and divisions will be added - increasing your earning potential.
2. ASK Your Brand Franchise
In simple terms, we will license the ASK name for you to launch and run your business through.
You can tap into our brand image, client base and business acumen, as well as getting the support and backing you need to make yours an extremely successful venture.
This enables you to setup a successful business for very little setup cost, pooling on our existing infrastructure and resources.
Why are we doing this?
The ASK Group currently has 4 very successful divisions recently expanded to 7 (2 of these through Your Brand Franchises), but we are constantly looking to enhance and expand our services.
In order to grow into other business sectors, we either have to purchase an existing company, employ a specialist from that sector, or launch as a partner using our Your Brand Franchise concept.
We think the Your Brand concept is the quickest way to gain the growth we are looking for, and although we ultimately earn less from it than if we provided the service ourselves, it enables us to keep our workforce down and concentrate on what we are best at, building our brand.
Who are we looking for?
Your business needs to be an area that would fit our brand image and professional services.
The types of areas we are looking for are:
askaccounting
askbrokers
askconsultancy

How it works
• We sit down with you and assess the level of support you require.
• We agree a contract and together create a business plan.
• You pay a small basic annual licence fee of £1000 for using the ASK name under licence and you are ready to go.
• After that, all you pay is a percentage of your sales dependent on how much support you want us to give you. This varies from case to case but to date this has averaged 25%.
• You still own your own company, and we take no equity stake in your company unless you want us to.
What is provided?

• Free advice and consultancy
• Access to our client database
• Promoted as part of our group, which is an ISO9001 and Carbon Neutral company
