Buying a franchise for most
people does make sense !
✓ A Mowing business is built on regular clients
✓ Regular Clients deliver ongoing regular income week in / week about
✓ Relationships form with regular clients and regular clients get you to do more and more around their properties
✓ Gutter Cleans
✓ Hedging & Pruning
✓ Gardening
✓ Mulching
✓ Rubbish Removal
✓ Other odd jobs
It means your not constantly chasing new clients or new works
for income week in / week out
and a Mowing business is a
great business !!!!
It’s a Business with Recurring Income
BUT !!!!
You need the Right Attitude & Discipline
for this to Work
So if A=1, B=2, C=3 etc etc, you may put in effort and hard work and have knowledge, all important, but you come in short of 100%
You need to have the right attitude and discipline to run a business
Backed by the Biggest Mowing Brand in
Australia
The Jim’s Brand is foremost in the public mind, this lends itself to give
your business instant recognition and will help build it quickly. This is a
unique opportunity that presents itself to potential franchisees
Jim himself pioneered the mowing business that started back in 1982.
The mowing division now extends over 4 countries being Australia, New
Zealand and Canada with around 1800 franchisee’s.
Australia is truly the home of the Jim’s Mowing brand, with around 1600
Mowing Franchisees.
✓ Do yourself a favour and do a quick straw pole – ask 5 of your friends if
they were going to get some lawn mowing or gardening work completed
– who would they call ?
On the back of the mowing
success, the Jim’s Franchisee
system now extends to over 45
different divisions with over 3500

be taking !

On average – 3 in 10 off these dots we cant help the client with as we
have insufficient FSEE’s

Building and running your own
business can be a satisfying and
exciting experience that sets you up for
life and hands control of your time back
to you.
However, it is vital to get your finances
in order to achieve your goal of running
your own business. There are lots of
potential potholes in the finance road
that can derail your dreams. You need
your application to showcase your
business proposal to maximise your
chances of getting the lender’s
approval…
We can put you in touch with providers
that are use to dealing with Franchises.
You get the option to either fund your
entire purchase or alternately rent / buy
some of the equipment
We even have vendor finance
available for some of the franchisees
