Become A Partner

A BUSINESS THAT WORKS

While there can be no guarantees and hard work is needed, our business model can generate earnings with almost immediate effect. Partners who follow our prescribed systems stand to make a profit quickly.

Chock Shop’s business format is simple and straightforward, and can be managed by almost anyone who has the right training (provided by us). We operate in local regions, meaning partners can build up a customer base with ease.

ARE YOU A SUITABLE PARTNER?

Ideal candidates enjoy working in an outdoor environment and have a range of practical skills. They thrive off meeting people in shows and other events whatever the weather.

Selling brownies in summer is wonderful, but the process can become more testing during the winter months. Partners must be resourceful, energetic and great with customers through every season.

Success will rely on your planning, organisation and self-drive. We will provide continual assistance to help you ride out the challenges you meet as a partner, but you must be ready to work to develop and maintain the business.

If you’re ready to take on the challenge, then so are we. In a few years, you should have built a profitable and successful enterprise to be proud of.

YOUR ROLE AS A PARTNER

The success of your business will depend largely on how effectively and consistently you promote throughout your county. All partners will be responsible for local marketing within their area, with initial assistance coming from Head Office.

Brand awareness drives will be essential, and it will be up to individuals to decide how much they invest in their chosen areas.

We will guide you through the complexities of local marketing. Don’t worry – we’ve been there and done it.

WHAT DO YOU PAY?

Chock Shop partners buy their brownies and other resales supplies from the the Chock Shop or its nominated suppliers. This is the only way to ensure the brownies are served to a consistently high quality to guarantee the best tasting experience. Details of the products’ cost and selling price can be provided after an initial meeting, but an attractive margin can be generated for the partner.

OUR SUPPORT MEANS YOU GET OFF TO THE BEST START

Our partnership package fee is comprehensive and currently available at just £10,000 (plus VAT). In addition, partners will need to fund a suitable vehicle and livery if they don’t have one. We estimate about £1,000 should cover costs for these.

We will help you to promote the business when it is launched. The start-up investment for the business is listed at the back of the brochure and includes everything that you will need to purchase to establish your Chock Shop partner.

Finance for the business is potentially available from Partner Units of the major clearing banks (subject to status and business plan).

For a partner business, the banks may be willing to lend up to 50% or 60% of the total capital required. As part of the recruitment process we will provide information for your business plan and this can be shared with the banks to raise finance if required.

EARNINGS POTENTIAL

Our experience shows that potential income generated by the Chock Shop partner represents an excellent return. When we meet we will have the opportunity to discuss sales and finances in far greater detail. However, as a guide we estimate an operating profit (before tax) to total over £30,000 in year 1 - £40,000+ in Year 2 and over £50,00 in Year 3.

We have prepared forecasts to illustrate profits your business could make, based upon our extensive operating experience with our Chock Shop business. We will happily share these with you when we meet.
