 accelerator Franchise Business Opportunity

Unleash the potential of accelerator by offering a full range of business level hosted IT and telecom services to the SME market! As the first franchise of its type, you'll be a part of a burgeoning market that will allow you to run an exciting, lucrative business.

the accelerator concept

With the IT market constantly developing, you'll find that accelerator is at the forefront with IT as a utility. IT can be like electricity, able to be turned on easily and fixed right at the source. accelerator has helped turn IT on its head by offering, via broadband, the latest, hassle-free technology that was previously only available to large corporations. These solutions are offered for a low, fixed quarterly fee, with no upfront costs for servers and hardware, no IT support costs and a 99.9% guarantee or your money back.

With a large portfolio of hosted services, such as hosted email, back up, fax2email, CRM, email archive, file server, VoIP and web conferencing, SMEs can be more productive and efficient with accelerator.

Clients have said these benefits of accelerator have them coming back:

  • Ability to work from anywhere
  • Paying only for what you need
  • Get services previously only available to large corporations
  • Exceptional customer service experienced while utilising the many different services
  • Low, fixed quarterly payment
  • No additional infrastructure (e.g. server, switch) needed
  • No up-front capital expenditure
  • Managed outsourcing from a single local supplier

Since these SMEs don't have to invest in large infrastructure, small businesses become more profitable and give business owners the chance to concentrate on the important aspects of their business.

the accelerator franchise opportunity

As the UK's only (and fastest growing!) one stop shop for these hosted IT and telecom solutions, accelerator is looking for qualified individuals who want to work for themselves and create their own success story.

IT expertise is not required, just an entrepreneurial spirit, a basic understanding of IT and sales skills. accelerator has the potential to be a lucrative business, with the potential to grow to any size. With repeat business and a high retention rate, accelerator is the first step to a secure financial future.

training and support

accelerator is not only a unique opportunity, but also a franchise that cares about the success of its franchisees. During your first month as an accelerator franchisee, you will generate brand awareness through our proven, bespoke marketing plan. We will pay for the entire initial advertising launch and connect you to our call centre for lead generation.

You will be sent to a comprehensive one-week residential training where you will learn about the products, business development, customer relationship management, etc. This will be followed by ongoing support, including customer billing and technical advice being centralised at the accelerator head office. That leaves you to concentrate on your customers ... and building a successful business portfolio!

accelerator also assigns you with a Franchise Development Manager, who visits you and helps you set up your first few meetings. There will also be development review sessions at 30, 60 and 90 days after your initial training. There will also be opportunities to network with other franchisees through regional meetings and training workshops. We pride ourselves in giving our franchisees the training and support they need to make their business a success! You'll never be alone with accelerator.

the ideal accelerator franchisee

We are looking for someone with a passion to grow and develop their very own, local business. This dynamic, challenging and rewarding home-based business requires no prior IT experience, but does need a commercial-minded, self-motivated individual with a strong desire to succeed, good organisational skills and who likes working with people. accelerator Franchise Business Opportunity

"Our business has been revolutionised since we started to work with Accelerator. They are passionate about what they do and, quite rightly, believe in their product. For us, we're connected efficiently, better protected and more productive. We'll be using Accelerator more and more in the future."
