Cartridge World Irish Franchise Opportunity

About Us

Consider for a moment the environment we live in. Information technology has taken the world by storm. Anyone and everyone in the western world has a computer for their business and home use. Computers need printers and printers need cartridges, which run out of toner or ink on a regular basis.

To meet this high demand, the core business at Cartridge World Ireland is refilling inkjet cartridges and remanufacturing laser cartridges using high quality inks, components and toners. Not only could this be an incredibly cost effective method, customers can save up to 60% as compared to the cost of a new cartridge, but it also has a positive environmental impact too.

A staggering 40 million inkjet and 7 million laser printer cartridges ended up in UK landfills in 2000*, with each cartridge taking more than an estimated 450 years to decompose.

Cartridge World opened its first UK and Irish store on Kings Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire in February 2001 and has since opened over 260 retail stores operating throughout the UK and Ireland. In addition to those stores in the UK and Ireland, Cartridge World is also established in over 40 worldwide countries including Australia and USA. To date there are over 1650 franchises worldwide with plans to further establish more Master franchisees in many European centres.

Training and Support

An element of the Cartridge World franchise that is regularly praised by franchisees is the quality of training and continual support they receive. As part of the business is very much hands on, it is essential to get an understanding of the day-to-day running of the business and it is important that support does not stop when the store opens for business.

As you would come to expect of a company with 20 years experience in the industry, the training is of the highest standard. Cartridge World have designed intensive training which will give you the very best start to your new business. Franchisees receive training in every aspect of the operation and provide them with a detailed business operations manual, comprehensive technical manuals and computer software. The program includes technical information, purchasing and stock control, administration and bookkeeping, plus sales and marketing.

Franchisees are not left in the lurch. During the first week of business, a member of the support team from Cartridge World head office will be present in the store to give help and advice to ensure that the operation is running smoothly.

And it does not finish there. Franchisees are encouraged to call the support staff at head office at any time if there is anything they need to get help with. Regular visits from HQ business development staff and regional meetings to discuss market developments are part of the support.
