Our last training and onboarding course of 2026 begins on Monday 19th October, and after that, the next one won’t be until 2027. So if you’ve been thinking about starting your own business with us, October is your last opportunity to get trained, set up and trading before the end of the year and, more importantly, to be ready for our busiest period.
If you’re interested, you’ll need to register by 19th September at the very latest.
There’s a reason for that deadline. We like to get plenty in place before anyone starts their training, and the big one is getting your marketing up and running in your territory. We start promoting your business a full month before you begin trading, giving you time to build up enquiries so you’re not opening the doors to an empty diary.
That means getting registered by 19th September still leaves plenty of time for a couple of calls, a proper sit-down and all the usual checks before training begins. However, you’ll want to get started soon to avoid missing out.
Why October is such a great time to start
Because it puts you in place just as our busiest stretch of the year gets going. November through to January is our peak season. People climb into the loft to get the Christmas decorations down, wrestle with a wobbly stepladder and an awkward hatch, and come back down muttering that they’re never doing that again. Then, a few weeks later, they’re back up there looking for the suitcases before a winter getaway, thinking exactly the same thing.
Here’s the important bit, though: this isn’t just our busiest time for jobs, it’s our busiest time by far for enquiries. Not everyone who asks for a quote will go ahead straight away – some will spend Christmas thinking it over, getting their finances together and making a decision in the new year. So the enquiries you generate during the peak can keep turning into work well into 2027.
Get started in October and you’re not simply making the most of the final months of this year, you’re putting yourself in position to capture enough demand to keep you booked up for months ahead.
Just think about the difference that could make to you starting your own business
When enquiries really start coming in, you could already be trained, out on the road and making the most of them, rather than watching the busiest weeks of the year pass by while you’re still waiting for your training date.
We start promoting your business a month before you begin trading, so you’re not starting from scratch, either. New franchisees finish their training on a Friday, with customer visits already lined up for Monday morning. Many new partners find they’ve booked their first paid job within their opening week.
I’d never want you making a decision this big before you’re genuinely ready, and this isn’t me trying to hurry you into anything, but that October date is simply the last training course in the diary this year. The registration deadline is where it is because the marketing needs that month’s run-up to do its job properly.
Shall we talk it through?
If October could work for you, the next step is simply to book a call with me using the button below. There’s no obligation and nothing to commit to on the spot – we can talk through the Access4Lofts franchise in more detail, the training, the timing and whether it actually makes sense for you.
I can watch his journey climb month by month on our central accounting system, from his very first month right through to today, and it’s the sort of graph that makes you do a double take. The cautious chap I spoke to early this month certainly did, and his first reaction was that he’d like to learn how Mark did it!
So, shall we have that same conversation?
Schedule a call, and I’ll walk you through the real, live numbers with absolutely no obligation. Better still, if you’d rather hear it straight from someone who has actually done it, just say the word and I’ll put you in touch with a franchisee or two, so you can ask them anything you like, including whether they ever doubted it themselves.
