Aspray Journey
Established in 2005, Aspray is an award-winning service provider and has developed a successful business managing building insurance claims.
Aspray is led by Managing Director, James Whittle. James has over 30 years’ experience within franchising and business development.
Financials
As a franchisee you will be embarking on the development of a start-up business opportunity, and it is important that you do not lose sight of this when considering whether a franchise is right for you. The minimum investment is £28,000 + VAT. Franchisees who require funding will need to be able to demonstrate to lenders that they have a minimum of £15,000 liquid capital available to contribute to their start-up costs.
The Model
Aspray works with a wide range of introducers to help smooth the claims and repair process for both residential and commercial property owners. We can help our customers save time and ensure they receive a fair settlement from their insurer.
Our national network of loss assessing project managers enables Aspray to offer a personalised service, understanding the problems the everyday customers face. We act as their representative when negotiating a settlement with an insurance company.
Franchisees not only liaise directly with the insurer, helping policy holders achieve a fair settlement but also ensure that their property is reinstated to its previous condition as quickly as possible.
Aspray’s core values:
- To ensure our customers are treated fairly and with respect at all times.
- To support our growing network of franchisees in building their business to the income level they seek without compromising integrity.
- Support customers throughout the UK and continue to ensure their best interests are protected at point of claim.
Why Now? Why Aspray?
It is difficult to imagine a better time to join the insurance industry in a claims management capacity as there has been regular controversy around how insurance claims are handled in recent years. The Aspray service has been proved a much needed support for many policyholders over the years.
Insurance claims vary from small household claims to much larger commercial claims. Whilst the Aspray business is not seasonal, peaks can occur during the more prevalent adverse weather conditions.
Aspray franchisees have the opportunity to follow a comprehensive marketing strategy for much of their local marketing and sales activity. They can also benefit from a detailed business launch action plan, and hands on support from a business sales development manager, especially in the launch phase.
