THE OPPORTUNITY:
As the largest mobility and stairlift retailers in the country, the Ableworld franchise offers a rewarding opportunity to enter one of the fastest growing sectors in today’s retail space.
Our model provides you with a Mobility Superstore and accompanying Stairlift Business in a defined franchise territory.
Our customers come to us for advice on choosing the correct products from a large selection of quality mobility and homecare equipment. We are renowned for exceptional levels of service and aftercare and our value for money pricing ensures the customers buys from us too.
Our products which range from walking sticks to hi-spec mobility scooters, from back supports to stairlifts, are all designed to give our customers greater independence and improved quality of life in their homes.
THE INDUSTRY:
There are currently 15 million people aged 60 and above in the UK and the Government predicts that in 10 years’ time nearly 25% of the population will be over 65.
People are living longer and as they age, they frequently need the products that Ableworld offers – such as mobility scooters, specialist furniture and stairlifts. In addition, since many people in this age group have generous pensions and significant property equity, they have the resources to purchase this much needed equipment. Ableworld’s mission is to help these customers live more comfortable and active lives as they get older.
Valued at around £1.5 Billion, the mobility retail sector is set to expand dramatically over the next few years as products such as mobility scooters, stairlifts, adjustable beds, wheelchairs and home aids become increasingly in demand.
