Q. Will I have my own Web-site?

A. Yes, you will. It will be linked to the head-office site, because all leads and sales emanating from our site are distributed to the appropriate branch.

We will work on optimising the sites, and encourage branches to do the same.

Q. Why do you want applicants with insurance experience?

A. Our franchisees own and run independent regulated businesses. While we will offer compliance and regulatory advice it is you, the franchisee that talks to clients. It is important to us that Coversure clients receive professional advice.

Q. Can I sell the business?

A. Provided we are happy with the new proposed franchisee, then yes, you can.

Typically businesses are sold to existing Coversure Franchisees looking for expansion.

Ultimately, you can demand that we buy it back from you, and the arrangement for this is outlined in your franchise agreement.
