In a year of amazing headlines, July is another month when I can share some huge news with you about the Optic-Kleer franchise: they have just been nominated for the British Franchising Association’s Research & Development award for empowering franchisees through thoughtful innovation!

If you’ve been following the Optic-Kleer brand for a while, this probably won’t come as a big surprise. They’ve always been a franchise who are keen to stay well ahead of the curve and, on the back of their new partnership with Auto Windscreens, they’ve been making big, meaningful changes behind the scenes.

Changes which are paying off big time for their franchisees

One of the biggest changes – and the one which has directly led to this nomination – is the launch of their brand new franchisee software platform. This isn’t some snazzy tech which looks clever but just adds a new level of complexity. Completely the opposite, in fact. It’s totally reshaped how their network operates day-to-day, and it’s all been built hand-in-hand with direct feedback from franchisees. Now, they are earning more, working smarter, and spending less time on admin.

In just the few months since it launched, Optic-Kleer has seen:

• Streamlined integration with 90+ of the UK’s top insurers, opening up huge new revenue streams
• Automated admin, real-time job updates, and faster invoicing
• Repair volume up 12%
• Average job value up 24.5%
• Network revenue up 39.5%
• Franchisee payment time reduced by 78%
• Some franchisees hitting £10k a month for the first time

Pretty astonishing results! It’s no wonder the Optic-Kleer franchise is starting to seriously turn heads at the very highest levels of franchising…but this isn’t just about an award. It’s about what it means for you as someone looking for the right franchise. Optic-Kleer has always stood out from the crowd because it is a brand which truly invests in its people, constantly refining its model, listening to feedback, and giving franchisees the tools to grow a stable, profitable business they can be proud of.

So, if you're looking for a career as a business owner that blends independence with genuine support and innovation – not to mention fantastic returns – you’ve just found it.

You don’t need a garage, staff, or complex setup, and you certainly don’t need any prior experience of this kind of work. If you have the drive to succeed, a good way with customers and the public, and a desire to learn, the Optic-Kleer franchise will take you the rest of the way.
