Franchising can feel like a leap of faith, especially if you’ve heard all the usual myths. “It’s too restrictive.” “You’re just buying a job.” “There’s no room to grow.” Sound familiar?
We get it. The world of franchising is often misunderstood, but at Just Shutters, we’re rewriting the rulebook. Because when you join our network, you’re not buying into a tired old model, you’re stepping into a business with backbone and heart.
Let’s bust some myths and show you what’s really behind the shutters.
Myth 1: “Franchising means following someone else’s script.”
The truth: Our systems are proven, but your business is yours.
At Just Shutters, we provide structure, tools and support that work, but we never forget the person behind the business. You’re in control of your growth, your area and your work-life balance. Our franchisees bring their own character, strengths and vision to the table and we’re here to help you make it a reality.
Myth 2: “You’ll be left on your own once the ink is dry.”
The truth: We build businesses together.
Our franchisees are backed by a dedicated, business support team who genuinely care about your success. From day one, you’ll be surrounded by experience, encouragement and the kind of practical help that makes all the difference, from training and customer care to business planning.
You’re never on your own, because we believe business should be a team sport.
Myth 3: “Franchising is only for salespeople.”
The truth: Heart matters more than hard sell.
We don’t look for ‘shark’ energy. We look for people who want to build something meaningful. If you care about doing a good job, take pride in hands-on work and value customer satisfaction, you’ll fit in perfectly.
You don’t need to be a natural salesperson, you just need to believe in what you’re offering. And when you do, customers feel it. That’s why we’ve got thousands of Checkatrade near perfect scores to prove it.
Myth 4: “Franchises can’t scale.”
The truth: Ours do.
We’ve seen our franchisees grow from a single van to a team. The opportunity is there and it’s real. With a strong brand reputation, smart marketing and ongoing mentorship, we make it easier for you to build something big if that’s your goal.
And if your goal is more time with the family? We support that too.
Myth 5: “You’re just buying a job.”
The truth: You’re investing in your future.
There’s a difference between earning a living and building a life. Our franchise is designed to offer more than just financial rewards, it’s about ownership, purpose and the freedom to shape your own path.
Whether you’re switching careers, looking for more meaning in your work, or ready to be your own boss with the safety net of a proven model, Just Shutters gives you the platform to make it happen.
In fact, you are building a business that can be renewed and with resale value when you are ready to exit.

At Just Shutters, we don’t do empty promises or one-size-fits-all thinking. We do partnership. We do pride in our work. And we do it all with heart.
So if you’ve been on the fence, let this be your sign. It’s time to take a closer look behind the myths and see what you could build with us.
