Key Considerations
It's Toilets!
There’s an obvious “yucky” side of this business; the fact is, this business deals with collecting and disposing of sewage and wastewater. That said, we have techniques and equipment that make this task systematic, safe, risk-free, and as “un-unpleasant” as possible.
It's Practical & Personal
We deal with the organisers of prestige functions, but there will be times when you will have to do a bit of “parley”. Issues or late developments can happen, so our franchisees do need to be good communicators, well-organised and have a calm, reassuring attitude.
Depending on how you resource your business, it is necessary to be reasonably practical. Setting up the trailers on site and dealing with cleaning and maintenance requires getting stuck in, applying some physical effort and practical ingenuity.
Its Seasonal
The business operates all year round, but there are two distinct phases – Spring/Summer is when it’s all “hands to the pump” (literally!) delivering and collecting trailers from events. During Autumn/Winter event leads can be slower and the focus in this phase is on marketing, maintenance, and planning. Don’t forget to take a well-earned holiday!
If you like being out and about, on the road, then you’d love operating a Nomadic Washrooms business. Much of the time during peak season is spent delivering and collecting trailers, undertaking maintenance in between bookings. And, because bookings and payments are managed centrally on your behalf, administration is kept to a minimum.
It Requires Investment
We will give figures on application but we can assist with arranging finance. We are able to provide access to preferential funding packages that would enable a large proportion of the total investment to be financed.
