Testimonials
The two partners started in September 1996 operating out of a rural location and purchased a second territory in 1998. They have succeeded in establishing a 770k portfolio in 13 years. This covers the business overheads including 16 employees and personal drawings. This is despite neither having any previous sales experience. When asked about how they did it, the answer was: The back up was excellent you follow the format it has worked for us, and we dont see why it shouldnt work everywhere.
Case Study 1, Urban Planters
Opened in 1997 as a one-man operation but proved so successful that a second partner joined after 2 months. Her time was better invested in the business, than working for someone else. This has certainly proved the case with annual turnovers in excess of 300k after 5-years trading.
Case Study 2, Urban Planters
Opened in late 1999 and operated by two ex-employees of a major competitor. Results have always exceeded budget with a portfolio of 600k after seven years of trading and turnover running at an annual rate of 750k+. Currently they employ 9 employees, utilising 6 liveried vehicles.

Since then he has purchased two neighbouring franchises and has established a combined portfolio in excess of 0.5M after 8 years of trading. When asked by a journalist why he was confident in his business future, the reply was: The whole Urban Planters concept is so professional it gave me enormous confidence when dealing with clients. He also cited that when the client signs a contract there is money coming in the business on a regular basis, which Im not wasting my time having to chase.

The above case studies demonstrate the success of an Urban Planters franchise and the potential rewards that can be generated. Net profit is variable and dependent on factors such as how much work is carried out by the franchisees themselves and how much through an infrastructure of employees, and whether the company is limited or not. Typically the net profit is between 20% and 40% once the franchise has been established.
