Congratulations on your decision to
consider to start your own business
under the iconic Jim’s Mowing brand.
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
Financing Options
High Return on Investment
Business Growth and Splitting Options
As your client base grows you have lots of various options with no additional fees.
You can
✓ Add as many employees as you wish
✓ Add as many additional Trailers and employees as you wish
✓ Or even like many franchises do, bundle up a portion of there business
and have Jim’s sell them as a client starter pack and receive around
$20000 for that and rebuild your client base quickly.
✓ For every regular client you add to your business, you add approx. $500
to $700 value to your business
Which ever path you take, there is no limits with the Jim’s
Franchise model.
For an investment of less than $50,000 your Jim’s business could set you up for life.
✓ A Jim’s Mowing business is built on
regular clients
✓ Regular clients deliver ongoing
regular income week in, week out
✓ Relationships form with regular
clients and regular clients contract
you to perform more jobs around their
properties, such as:
✓ Gardening
✓ Hedging & Pruning
✓ Gutter Cleaning
✓ Mulching
✓ Rubbish Removal
✓ Other odd jobs
Meaning you’re not constantly
chasing new clients or new work
for income, week in, week out.
