A Breath Of Fresh Air

Spring has well and truly arrived. The days grow warmer and those who work indoors may begin to look dreamily outside yearning to be an outdoor worker rather than tied to their desk.

If you have ever considered working outside then it may surprise you to know just how wide, varied and accessible this industry is. In particular there are a wide range of van-based franchises available. 

The advantages of working outside with a van-based business

  • You can begin a business with a small initial investment and have the opportunity to grown that business into a multi-van territory.
  • You benefit from the freedom of being outside rather than being stuck within a dimly lit office somewhere, working for someone else and their bank balance.
  • There is an extensive range of outside van based franchises which means that you are sure to find a business that is suited to you, your experience and your skillset.

Here we take a look at van-based franchises that can offer you the freedom from a desk, flexible hours together with a lucrative and successful business.
