We operate a franchise model overseas

In the last three years since inventing, patenting and launching ScaffFloat, the UK business has come a long way.

Profitable & Sustainable: ScaffFloat has developed a profitable business model in the UK with steady cash flow. This has been proven over the three years since it started trading.

Market, Value, and Sweet Spots: We have learned where we best sit in the market and where we can leverage the most value. This learning has been hard-earned and offers significant value to others operating ScaffFloat in other regions and countries.

Start-Up to Mature Business: ScaffFloat has developed from a boot-strap, investor-funded start-up into a mature business with a management structure, systems, process, accreditation and a solid customer base with 65% coming from repeat customers.

From Proprietary Unproven Product to Trusted Market Leader: Not only has ScaffFloat established itself as a successful product and service, but it has done this with an unproven proprietary product operating in very traditional and slow-to-innovate markets. It is now an award-winning business with a product that is widely recognised by the industry as innovative, market-leading, safe and professional. We have also delivered a number of high-profile projects and our case studies have earned us a reputation to get the job done and deliver. Imagine what you could do in your country in the same time with a head start, leveraging our brand and case studies, using all our knowledge, systems and process as well as support with marketing and PR.

The franchise opportunity is to replicate this business model in other parts of the world, supported from the UK with back office services, design, technical support and marketing. For more info email: jo@scafffloat.co.uk
