• Produce quotes
• Order blinds and awnings from head office
• Carry out installations
• Delegate installations to your employed fitters as your business expands
• Carry out after sales customer care
• Develop your business and make an excellent profit

And there's no need to worry if you don't have experience in some of these areas, because you'll get all of the training you need...

Training That Works

At Marla Custom Blinds we believe in a saying: 'Train, trade, train'. It's one we created ourselves, and it reflects the commitment we have to our franchise owners. From our own experience, we know that training is only effective when it's put to use in the real world. But we also know that in the real world of business, problems arise. This is why, after one week of in-house training, we let our franchise owners begin to trade before they complete a second week of 'revision training'. The great thing is that this second week doesn't have to be taken in one go; it can be broken up any way a franchise owner chooses. In short, franchisees get to set their own learning pace, while they trade.

Why Choose Marla Custom Blinds?

Apart from the competitive pricing of our franchise package, and the excellent training provided, choosing Marla Custom Blinds should not be a difficult decision. Ultimately, we want to ensure that the transition from potential franchise owner to profitable franchise owner is as smooth as possible.

The fact that we have been manufacturing, supplying and installing blinds for more than 14 years means that we know what we're doing. In that time we've ironed out the problems, and set up all of the necessary systems, needed to run a blinds and awnings business. Today we are in a position to pass the benefit of that experience, plus a wealth of further knowledge, onto all new Marla Custom Blinds franchise owners.

Do I need to have fitted blinds and awnings before?

No. The only attributes you will need before you sign up are some basic DIY skills plus the determination to succeed. Everything else, we can teach.
