You may know Snap-on as the leader in the tool industry. What you may not know is that Snap-on is also a great franchise business opportunity.

At its core, a franchise is an agreement between two parties that gives the franchisee the rights to market a product or service using the name of the franchisor. A Snap-on Tools franchise business is a mobile tool store you own, selling and servicing the #1 tool brand in the world directly to professionals in your territory. It's a proven business model we've honed for nearly 100 years. You literally drive your mobile store directly to the customer's shop where they purchase tools in order to perform their work. The customer enjoys the ultimate convenience in service and sales delivered by you directly from your "showroom on wheels!"

Our system includes financing for qualified franchisees, exceptional initial training and on-going training opportunities. Along with these benefits, our franchisees appreciate the freedom and pride that comes with owning their own Snap-on Tools franchise business. 

Steve Handrick, an owner of a franchise business in Wiltshire talks about his long term plans:

I know a lot of people go into franchising with early retirement in mind but I’m going to keep going until I fall out of love with what I do – who knows when I’ll retire! My long-term plan is to build an empire of four of five territories. It’s a win-win scenario – still doing what I love, but around a schedule that suits me. That’s, by far, the best thing about being a Snap-on franchisee – the flexibility it allows. Snap-on isn’t a 9-5 – I can sometimes work twelve-hour days – but you can customise your work patterns to fit around your life, and there’s never a dull moment! Snap-on isn’t for everyone, but it works for me – I’m a Snap-on man through and through

Craig Bishop, an owner of a franchise business in North Dorset talks about his drive and determination:

The guys in the network are so successful in their own right so having them approach me for advice is an indication of how far I’ve come. Winning Newcomer of the Year has been the highlight of my career and, now I’ve had a taste of success, I’m determined to keep going. My goal is to win Franchisee of the Year, for my region and the UK as a whole. I want to be able to look back in a few years’ time and say, ‘that’s mine, I built that’.

Owning a franchise is a great way to take control of your future, but only one franchise can be the best. At Snap-on, we are proud to sell the tools most preferred by automotive technicians, but we are also proud of our investment in our franchisees.
