Increasingly individuals and companies choose to lease rather than buy as they recognise the significant advantages it offers them. Carnoisseur Leasing offers a unique franchise opportunity in a flourishing sector of the new car market.
 

The infrastructure surrounding Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees is extensive. Over 50 dedicated staff are on hand to offer the very best deals and the very best advice. Support from the largest vehicle brokerage in the UK gives Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees a competitive advantage: Franchisees are able to offer their customers a huge range of vehicles, all available at extremely competitive rates. Established relationships with manufacturers combined with years of experience and significant buying power ensures that our franchisees are given every chance to succeed.

The marketing package that Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees enjoy provides comprehensive and effective support.

It is quite simple; we want our franchisees to attract and retain as many customers as possible. In order to achieve this we have developed a marketing package that consists of what we believe are the most effective marketing techniques, all of which are organised, co-ordinated and implemented by Carnoisseur Leasing Head Office.

The most important marketing tool a Carnoisseur Leasing franchisee possesses is their store. Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees offer their customers a modern, welcoming retail environment in which they can receive a personal, face-to-face service.

We recognise that many people are still unaware of leasing as a genuine alternative and that well presented high-street premises that effectively communicate our offering is one of the best ways of attracting new customers to the market.

The retail design concept was developed by design agency Strategic Retail Design, a company that have worked for the likes of Marks and Spencer, Soletrader, Allders and Majestic Wine. The contemporary yet functional retail environment that has been created communicates our offering energetically and dynamically. It is designed to promote interest and give Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees every possible opportunity to generate sales.

Our three-week training course is designed to develop an advanced level of expertise and knowledge; instilling franchisees with a sense of confidence and direction.

The course communicates the intricacies of the business through step-by-step, active learning. 16 years experience as franchisors has taught us that the best way to learn is by ‘doing’ - at our purpose built premises in Bedfordshire we are able to offer new franchisees ‘real’ experience of the business in our call centre and on the shop floor of our flagship store. These ‘real-life’ encounters alongside a combination of theory and role-play ensure that, come day one, our franchisees are fully prepared.

All Carnoisseur Leasing franchisees are granted an exclusive territory that generally includes the whole of the town they are situated in. No other Carnoisseur Leasing outlets will be opened within the agreed territory.
