If you’ve recently read our previous article on Franchise Trends for 2017 you will see that van based franchises are on the rise! This growing trend is for two main reason; firstly, there is a large demand for the services that are on offer and secondly, convenience is large influencer for many consumers in this day and age.

Van Franchisee Traits

It may seem strange to some, but van-based franchises can be dramatically different due to how many different markets they’re able to operate in; however, this does mean that the average traits needed to be successful when owning a van-based franchise can differ immensely. For example, if you are operating a fleet of pet grooming van franchises, being comfortable around animals is essential but, if you are single van unit car repair franchise, then mechanical experience with automobiles would be useful.

Even though the main aspect of what your selling differs immensely, they’re some traits required for van-based franchisees that are the same in any market. First and foremost, you need to be able to drive a van - this isn’t just for those that will operate from a van. This is obvious if you’re starting a single van franchise, but it’s also important if you plan to operate a fleet with a team of drivers; if, for any reason, one day you don’t have enough van operators, it’s not uncommon for the franchise owner to jump in a van and take over its duties for the day. The other important trait that every franchisee needs for this type of franchise is customer services skills, this is more important than most franchises as a lot of these types of franchises require you to enter the homes of your customers which requires a great deal of trust.
