The company is looking for franchise owners with the ability to run a first-class franchise, providing the highest standards in customer care.

Direct Loans (UK) places local and national advertisements offering the public secured and unsecured loans.

Responses to the advertisements are received at the company’s communication centre, where they are processed and passed to franchisees covering the appropriate area.

The franchisee contacts the applicant and makes an appointment to see them at their own home to complete the loan application form. Once a franchisee has submitted a loan application, all further administration is undertaken by Direct Loans (UK), leaving franchisees free to concentrate solely on new business.

Prospective franchisees must be willing to learn and determined to succeed. Previous financial or sales experience is preferred but not essential, as a comprehensive training programme is provided. Full administration support and back-up is also included in the franchise package.

The cost of the franchise depends on the area you want to apply for, but typical investment levels start from £2,500.
