The right questions before you start
Why the Granite & TREND Transformations network appeals to investors
Franchisees benefit from an established international brand combined with a locally run business model, so customers get a trusted name and the attentive service of an independent local operator. The format sits within the broader kitchen, bathroom and bedroom renovation sector, which continues to see steady consumer demand as homeowners favour refurbishment over moving house.
Centralised fabrication and supply reduce the operational burden on franchisees, since the core product is manufactured to order and delivered ready for installation, limiting the need for on-site waste and rework. The network has previously reported ambitions to keep expanding its franchisee base, reflecting confidence in continued demand for the format.
Investment, fees and the financial commitment
According to the franchisor's own investment pages and official prospectus, the upfront franchise fee is £28,700 plus VAT. Once fit-out of the fabrication workshop, showroom setup and working capital are factored in, total investment has been quoted at around £123,300. Separately, the official brochure states that an additional £37,500 may be needed to cover retail, marketing, machinery and vehicle costs on top of the franchise fee.
The franchisor's FAQ page indicates that funding support may be available covering up to 70% of the total investment, meaning a personal contribution of around £30,000 could be sufficient to get started, subject to status and lender approval. Clear, verified detail on ongoing royalty percentages for the UK market was not available from official sources at the time of writing, so prospective franchisees should request this directly from the franchisor.

Franchisees run a local showroom and fabrication operation, combining a trusted international brand with hands-on local service.
