Kwiklite… a simple and successful concept that could change your life
A specialist local lighting maintenance company offering a professional service replacing all kinds of lamps, bulbs and tubes in the commercial, industrial, retail and business sector. Lighting is universal. Everyone needs it so the Kwiklite franchise opportunity offers unlimited potential with repeat business and impressive earnings ability.
Established since 1999, our reputation has been built on excellence. We offer a rapid response and tailor-made solutions to lighting problems. Demand is growing and we need franchisees to expand our network to meet customers’ needs.
More and more companies are wishing to outsource lighting maintenance, not least because of health and safety issues.
The customer can rely on a competent, trained Kwiklite engineer with the right equipment to do the job efficiently to the highest standards.
Concerned about selling your services? Don’t be! The Kwiklite marketing programme identifies the prospective customers in your area and aims to produce enquiries that lead to long-term repeat business. You’ll be surprised how quickly your customers get to know you.
The Service
The message to the customer is simple and uncomplicated: ‘Your lights maintained for free. All you pay for are the parts used’
- No call-out charge No labour charge No minimum charge
- No annual contract
You make your money through very attractive gross profit margins achieved by the highly-advantageous wholesale prices enjoyed by our franchisees. Further details will be made available at the meeting stage.
Calling on the Kwiklite engineer means the customer doesn’t have to worry about health and safety issues.
The Market
We aim to build a nationwide network based on our unique ‘tried and tested’ processes proven through successful pilot schemes.Lighting is universal so the potential is unlimited. Every business needs good lighting, inside and out, and those who have a substantial number of different types of light fitting especially value the Kwiklite service rather than trying to source and fit bulbs and lamps themselves.
Among these are car showrooms, petrol filling stations, shops, offices, factories, warehouses and many other types of industrial premises. We have developed a strong marketing plan with proven marketing methods including telemarketing, website, advertising and all support materials.

- A positive attitude, self-belief and determination to succeed is more important than experience or qualifications
- You should have a practical nature and be willing to run your business ‘hands-on’ and to a high standard

…what our franchisees say
‘I’ve had a magnificent first year, earning more money than I did in my previous job and enjoying a totally different lifestyle. We’ve been skiing, had two weeks in France and a cruise - and I still beat my target!’
Phil Benns, Kwiklite Bedford
‘My first year exceeded all expectations, and new customers are coming along every week. Because they don’t pay labour or call-out fees, they keep coming back.’
Tony Jones, Kwiklite Peterborough
… what our customers say‘
I don’t have to lift a finger as the Kwiklite engineer visits regularly and it takes a weight off my mind. We use hundreds of bulbs of varying kinds so it’s great having a supplier on the doorstep offering a reliable and efficient service.’
Simon Holdich, General Manager Peterborough Audi
‘We could do the job ourselves but Kwiklite is properly-equipped, supplies the consumables and saves us worrying about health and safety implications. We were very satisfied with the Kwiklite service and will happily use them again.’
John Hickman, Managing Director Moseley Brothers Tools Ltd, Tipton
