BUSINESSOPPORTUNITY

We base our decision process on engaging into an agreement for a

designated area on the following principles:

• That the geographical area has not already been taken

• That the current or new business set up is appropriate and as required

• That all Service Level Agreements/Franchise documents have been signed

• Thattheagentwillfulfiltheminimumorder/salesrequirements

We will also consider a full or partial stockist basis for those that want to stock

all or part of our gas range. Remember, the more gases, the more diverse

your potential market will be. Those considering a smaller range

are likely to be an existing business whereby a gas is an additional

product e.g motor garage selling welding and hobby gases.

We want all of our National Stockists to maximise the returns that

are available to them. On gas sales there is up to100% mark-up.
