Value Doors

Posted by Chris48 in Ask The Experts on 25.09.2011 1:51:22 pm | 1673 views

Hi, I am trying to find out more information about Value Doors if anybody can help.

 

I first came across them on Ebay and the business at first glance looks ok. However, the franchise fee is over 20k and I cannot find much info about them on the internet.

 

They are not listed with BFA or anybody else I do not think.

 

If anyone can help I would be very gratefull.

 

Thanks.

Hi Chris

 

This is not a franchise I have heard of however there are a lot of franchises out there.

 

They have exhibited at a franchise exhibition I see which does add a little to their credibility but this alone is just a very small indicator.  A quick Google search simply brings up several free adverts they have placed.

 

Their website domain ( http://www.valuedoorsuk.co.uk/ ) was registered in 2008 and they have a decent enough site up there with an Alexa ranking of 800,000 which shows they do attract visitors to the site and is not a simple company web presence.

 

Not much news i'm afraid.  No indicators that it is a scam opportunity or one that has been "made to franchise" without any testing of the market so no reason for me to warn you off them.  Very little to go on though so your best bet is to ask for a look at their accounts and the numbers of ALL their franchisees so you can call a few to see how they are getting on.

 

 

 

 

Kind regards,

David Wilkinson on 05.10.2011 3:09:08 pm | ReplyDear Chris and Mathew   thank you both for taking an interest in our opportunity.   To give you some feel of our successes our Derby franchisee achieved £6,000.00 profit in September 2011 and Bromley achieved an impressive £11,500.00 in profit again in September 2011. These are just two franchisees, we have many more with similar figures up and down the country. All our figures are open for inspection by interested and qualified prospects. Indeed, ALL our figures (both disclosed and undisclosed) have been thoroughly investigated and proven by the BFA over recent months during their exhaustive assessment process. Our hardwork and commitment to customer service has resulted in us being ranked 1st out of 198 door manufacturers in the UK by www.freeindex.co.uk. Our customers have given us a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on price, service & product; something we are obviousley immensely proud of. Our network has been in existance since 2007 and has shown consistant, sustained and substantial growth since then. Our website attracts in excess of 23,000 visitors permonth and growing. we spend in excess of £18,000 per month with google pay per click along with additional expenditure on organic seo, directories (yell, scoot & build) which are all paid directories. One of the reasons I feel that we are growing and have the reputation we have is down to the fact that we provide the majority of enquiries to our franchisees. We realised early on that most of the failures within the franchise sector are down to individual franchisees inability to generate sufficient work, even with the support of a franchisor. That is why we spend the money we do each month to ensure that people are as busy as they wish to be.   Since your posts above, things have moved on a little.   Our ebay advert has been altered to reflect some of those changes. Firstly we have made the cost to join our network more affordable, by reducing the step-in cost to only £10,000 + vat with a support fee of £40.00 + vat per week.   We became members of the BFA on 16th September 2011 and exhibited at Birmingham this weekend just gone. We had a very successful weekend and look forward to increasing our network with a number of new and eager franchisees.   I have not seen any other (genuine) franchise opportunity which offers the potential (and proven) profit levels as Value Doors UK does; especially with such a low initial investment.   We have NO ex double glazing people in our network, we have recruited from all walks of life including chefs, firemen, restauranteurs, property developers etc and all have been trained to fit doors to a very high standard during a residential training course in Leeds. I firmly believe this has helped tremendously with the levels of service our customers enjoy.   We welcome and encourage you to call us on 0800 955 0898 to discuss our opportunities either on the phone or preferable in person at our factory / offices in Leeds Yorkshire   Regards David Wilkinson Director Value Doors UK LTD     
shawn on 19.11.2011 2:15:37 am | ReplyHi, Came accross your franchise opertunity and run a few online search queeries, Are you or have you been connected in any way with "just value doors" who I came accross and who claim to be the UK No1 Regards S.. 
David Wilkinson on 20.11.2011 5:20:48 pm | ReplyHello Shawn We are not and never have been anything to do with justvaluedoors, although we are aware of him. He may claim to be the uks no1, as many do. However, no other door or double glazing company has the amount and quality of customer testimonials as we do. Please see "essential reading" on our site where we have in excess of 2000 testimonials which are growing by the day. We have NO bad reviews on the internet and intend to keep it that way. We also have a satisfaction rating on www.freeindex.co.uk of 4.8 out of 5. It is this level of positive feedback, that in our opinion, makes us "The Nations Favourite Door Company". Please feel free to call us to discuss any more questions you may have David Wilkinson Director Value Doors UK Ltd
