how's your juggling?

Starting a business is hard. And keeping it running smoothly as it grows can feel like a bit of a juggling act. We know, because we’ve been there. But don’t worry … we don’t expect you to be a juggler!

When launching a new business, there’s lots of balls to keep in the air: answering the telephone, taking payments, credit control, scheduling work, and dealing with work is quite a balancing act, and it’s all too easy to let those little jobs slip. Especially when you’re busy trying to grow your business and earn money. And what happens when you go on holiday? Who will take care of your customers then?

At Green Man Lawn Care, we believe that running a business shouldn’t have to be a juggling act. Our dedicated and knowledgable branch support team allows our franchisees to concentrate on just two things: making money and growing their businesses. Whether you’re hard at work or taking that well-earned break, we’ll be there to answer the telephone, take payment, carry out your credit control, schedule your work, and deal with your customer’s queries. Sounds much easier, doesn’t it?

LET US DO THE JUGGLING!

When it comes to keeping the show on the road, our branch support team are real professionals. Just check out what they’ll do for you, leaving you to concentrate on growing your business and making money!

Scheduling

Efficient scheduling is key to a good profit margin. We’ll handle all bulk scheduling and rescheduling of your customer’s lawn treatment services on your behalf.

Payments

We’ll handle the full range of payment methods for you. Whether they be over the phone by card, through our website, through internet banking or any other method.

Credit Control

Effective and efficient credit control is a key aspect of any successful business. When your customers forget to pay on time, we’ll be there to give them a gentle nudge.

Direct Debit Management

We’ll manage your customer’s Direct Debit account. Direct Debit allows for a constant stream of income, even when the weather is not so favourable!

Customer Queries

Answerphones are so last century! From day one, any queries from your customers will be answered and dealt with for you.

Pre-quote Query Handling and Scheduling

Don’t let your marketing campaigns go to waste! We’ll make sure any leads are dealt with in an efficient and professional manner.

WANT TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS FROM A MOBILE DEVICE?

WE BUILT AN APP FOR THAT!

Mobile technology is revolutionising the way we work, so we built the Green Man Lawn Care Management App from the ground up, bespoke to our every need.

Having access to business and customer data is crucial. You’ll be able to access everything from your customers details through to your most up-to-date business statistics.

Send text and email reminders, reschedule lawn treatments, and check out how much money your earning, all at the touch of a button.

Got no signal? That’s ok, because the Green Man Lawn Care Management App works even when your device is offline!

NeilLiverpool Franchisee

I was new to lawn care, business and franchising

“I was working as a head chef for a large national hotel chain. Some weeks I was working every day, clocking up almost 80 hours a week. I needed change, but knew nothing about gardening or horticulture. The team at Green Man Lawn Care made it so easy. I was up and running quickly, and their knowledge and support has been fantastic.” Read more...

GlennBromley Franchisee

I was self-employed and looking for the right franchise to buy

"I’ve always been comfortable being self-employed and I strongly believe that the harder you work the more you will get out. Being a taxi driver in London was stressful. I was looking for a career change, but I wanted something that would not only improve my finances but also my health. It needed to be profitable, interesting and easy to learn.” Read more...

MarkThetford Franchisee

I ran my own lawn care company and had substantial business experience

“I’ve always run my own businesses, trading in everything from exhaust lagging to dry cleaning. Business is a passion of mine. After a stint at running a successful estate agent board company, I wanted to turn my hand at something new. I had heard that lawn care was a great business with high profitability – something every business owner loves!" Read more...

Why do we charge £14,995 (excluding VAT) whilst others charge much more?

The honest answer is … we don’t know!

We’re honest and transparent about how much the items listed in our package cost, and we only use the best and most suitable equipment for the business. Our training generally goes on for a much longer period than stated and we’d never let a new franchisee start on their own until we’re completely happy that they’re ready.

we're a friendly bunch!
