We’re all more safety conscious these days and rightly so. However, for some hard-working brands the focus on health and safety has always been there. In fact, they’ve built brilliant businesses on the back of keeping Aussies safe at work.

They’ve also shared their successes with ordinary Australians who’ve seen the potential in running their own business under the branding and guidance of expert operators.

Why not tap into an essential service franchise and become your own boss?

Appliance Tagging Services 

This family-owned and operated business has put OH&S at the heart of its operations for 18 years.

It only took two years for founders Ainsley and Sarah Allen to realise the potential for a sustainable franchise operation, and for the last 16 years the couple have been building up a national network of owner-operators, with a full support team behind them.

Today there are about 50 franchisees across the country and they are able to tap into national accounts, and focus on building their own businesses with ATS head office taking on invoicing and debt collection.

It all began in 2002 with testing and tagging electrical equipment. Today franchisees include fire equipment in their remit; they are also testing and reporting management systems in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2010.

Appliance Tagging Services safety franchisees have repeat business, and on average returns are between $1000 and $2000 a week.

You might think you need to come to the role a fully qualified electrician but actually no prior experience is required. What you will need is a commitment to safety, and to building your own business.

And investing in this franchise is an affordable option: expect to pay $57,000 + GST although you will need to add in the cost of fire training and state licensing.
