Since 1972, Apollo Blinds has been bringing beautiful window coverings to homes all over the UK.

Our premium-quality products are sold and installed by our passionate franchisees, who operate their own Apollo Blinds businesses in their exclusive local areas. We have more than 50 franchisees, and some have been with us for 30+ years.

Don’t just take our word for it

We take our role as a franchisor very seriously. We are a founding member of the British Franchise Association (bfa) and have received a number of awards for our franchise model. Ensuring the satisfaction of our franchisees is important to us, and we benchmark this frequently – with recent results showing an overall Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark score of 85%.

Products that sell themselves

As part of the Hunter Douglas Group (the world’s largest manufacturer of window blinds), we have a broad product range with something for every home – from traditional favourites to the latest innovations. Each product is made bespoke and to exceptionally high standards, with the vast majority manufactured in the UK. With such high-quality fabrics and finishes, all backed by genuine guarantees, our products really do sell themselves.

A low investment for healthy returns

One of the reasons that Apollo Blinds is so attractive to prospective franchisees is the minimal entry fee of just £5,000 +VAT for a ready-to-run business. For this low investment, franchisees enjoy the following:

• £4,000 reinvested into marketing and launching the business (including a website, leaflets, adverts and much more)
• Initial and ongoing training and support from Apollo Blinds’ expert teams
• A work-from-home / van-based business that can be operated around other commitments, giving excellent flexibility
• An exclusive area to operate in

Franchisees can generally expect to see a gross profit of 49% right from year one of running their businesses.

Is it right for me?

Our franchisees join us from many different backgrounds – some are experts in window coverings and are familiar with our national reputation, while others are completely new to the industry and looking for a change of career. Regardless, all our franchisees receive in-depth training and support on everything from practical installation skills to customer care and business marketing. You just need the enthusiasm and drive to make your Apollo Blinds business a success.
