A Business Built on Real Need
Fire safety and security are legal requirements. Every business must have working alarms, extinguishers, lighting, risk assessments, and secure premises.
That means:
Run Your Own Fire & Security Franchise in Bristol
A low-cost franchise opportunity with strong demand across the South West
How Much Does It Cost to Get Started?
Starting a business always takes an investment, but we’ve made this as accessible and straightforward as possible.
You’ll need £24,000 of your own money to begin. The rest can be covered through funding — up to 70% — and we’ll introduce you to lenders who already know and support our franchise model.
We’ll also help you arrange van finance through our trusted suppliers, with some great deals already in place. You’ll only need to cover the deposit upfront.
In total, the full investment is usually £80,000. That covers your £40,000 franchise fee (plus VAT, which you can usually reclaim) and about £40,000 in working capital to cover early costs like wages, equipment, and marketing while you get up and running.
We’ll walk you through everything and make sure the financial side feels clear, realistic, and tailored to you.
What Could You Earn?
This is a business that grows over time, and if you put in the work, the returns can be significant. Here’s what some of our franchisees have achieved:
Of course, results vary, but if you follow the model, stay focused, and work hard, you can build a business that not only supports your lifestyle but becomes a valuable long-term asset.
From the moment you start planning, we’re with you.
You’ll work closely with a franchise advisor to build your business plan and prepare for launch. Then you’ll go through a structured training programme that covers everything you need to know from how fire and security systems work, to quoting, marketing, managing engineers, and staying compliant.
Once your business is up and running, you’re never on your own. We’re here to help with pricing, recruitment, technical queries, client issues — whatever you need.
We also provide:
- A local website, Google Ads setup, and social media support
- A phone answering service, so you never miss an enquiry
- Job management software and full IT support
- Credit control and help managing your cash flow
- National account referrals when big clients need work in your area
- Access to a nationwide network of other franchisees
We’ll even come on-site to help you get it right in the early days. The goal is to make sure you feel confident, capable, and fully supported at every stage.
You don’t need any experience in fire safety or engineering. What matters most is how you work with people and how you approach challenges.
This management franchise opportunity is a great fit if you’re based in or around Bristol, Bath, or the surrounding areas and want to build something that’s not just profitable, but genuinely meaningful. You should feel confident managing people, organising day-to-day operations, and staying focused on customer service.
If you enjoy solving problems, working with local businesses, and like the idea of building something of your own — with expert support behind you — this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
