Why Should You Choose a Cartridge World Franchise?

We provide our franchisees with a first class Support Network to ensure they are getting the most out of their business.

We have successfully launched over 1,600 franchises in over 60 different countries, and our tried and tested business formula has the potential to turn over £300,000 a year. 

Freedom and independence

Owning a franchise allows you to be your own boss but instead of starting from scratch, you’re following a proven business model. Becoming a Cartridge World franchisee allows you to become part of an established and successful brand making it easier for you to attract customers and make profit.

Fantastic earnings potential

Over 50 percent of UK homes have at least one printer in the household so printer cartridges are always in demand. In addition, all businesses have the need for replacement printer cartridges, in some cases as often as weekly. At Cartridge World we know people look for low cost alternatives to the printer manufacturer cartridges and they usually need the cartridge there and then, something that online retailers cannot provide. As a Cartridge World franchise owner, you are on hand to service the customers who need their replacement cartridge straight away. By joining Cartridge World you are perfectly placed to take care of - and profit from - this vast demand.

Proven business model

We’ve spent the past 20 years fine-tuning our business model so you don’t have to. Cartridge World has successfully set up over 1,600 stores worldwide, which proves we know how to minimise the risks and maximise the rewards. By becoming a franchisee, you will be the local face of an environmentally-friendly global brand.

Initial help and support

Our unique and comprehensive training scheme will leave you feeling confident in running your own store. Our start-up training scheme includes learning the basics at our Franchise Support Centre, getting to grips with your position at one of our training stores and constant ongoing support throughout your business ownership.

Keeping ahead of technology

Our in-house Research and Development departments in Chicago (USA) and Harrogate are constantly researching the latest in print technology to ensure we maintain our high standards and can continue to meet our customers’ needs. In addition, we also work alongside preferred suppliers to ensure we are always offering the best products and competitive pricing to our customers. 

Do your bit to help the environment

Every year, 45 million* printer cartridges end up in landfill sites, where they can take up to 1000 years to decompose**. We are constantly researching new ways to reduce a cartridge’s carbon footprint and pride ourselves on being a sustainable company. By helping your customers to refill rather than replace their cartridges, you’ll be reducing the amount of cartridges that end up in landfills and in turn, saving the limited natural resources our planet has. Both the general public and the corporate environment are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their daily lives and your business will offer them a solution to reduce this impact and save money!
