Frogs Garden Services Franchise

Imagine being able to control the hours you work each day, your level of income and of course, when to take a break. We believe a FROGS gardening franchise offers you these and many more benefits through a business system designed to give you flexibility and a high level of support.

FROGS Garden Services operates within the garden service & landscaping arena, specialising in the once off and regular programmed service & management of community gardens, schools, retirement villages, universities, as well as commercial businesses & residential homes. Maintaining Gardens is our passion.

The garden services & landscaping arena as an industry?

Today the pace of life is faster than ever as more and more couples go out to work to support the lifestyles they want. Many couples do not have the time or inclination to maintain their gardens & outdoors after a strenuous day’s work preferring to spend quality time with their families instead. This has resulted in a large boom within the outdoor landscaping & maintenance sector, opening up an opportunity for an industry leader offering professionalism, integrity & hassle-free home services. The home services sector in Australia is in excess of $40 billion per annum with some 25% of Australians outsourcing their home maintenance needs. These figures are forecast to grow as society in general become even more "time-poor".

About FROGS:

About franchising:
Franchising is a method of distributing products or services. At least two levels of people are involved in the franchise system: (1) the franchisor, who lends his trademark or trade name and a proven business system; and (2) the franchisee, who pays a royalty and an initial fee for the right to operate a business under the franchisors name and system.

For the most part, franchisees will have had no previous business management experience (not always the case). For many, this will be their first business venture so it is important that the franchise has a proven methodology and sound support materials & structures. It is for these reasons that franchising becomes the obvious choice, giving you the best possible chance of success. It is a well known statistic that around 80% of new business fail within the first year (this applies in almost every country) whereas, with franchising, that figure is reversed with some 80% of business' surviving.

“Investing in a franchise will give you a two to three times better chance of success than a small business starting up on its own”
