FAQs

Find our more about becoming part of the Archgola network.

Why choose an Archgola regional License?

Archgola offers a proven model, which is scalable, profitable and demand driven. This is supported by the most recognised national brand in NZ, and includes a centralised lead generation marketing programme, manufacturing excellence with high quality control, and a modular design system.

What is the difference between a License and Franchise?

The difference between a License and Franchise is you have no ongoing fees with a License. You still have responsibly to commit to the Archgola products and brand, but unlike a typical franchise model, there are no group or royalty fees.

Do I need construction or building experience?

Typically, yes. Our existing successful Licensees come from a range of backgrounds but tend to be building or construction in nature. We also require business management skills, customer service focus and the ability to confidently operate our various software solutions. In some cases these skills are shared between the local business owners’ team.

What are the ongoing costs of being an Archgola Licensee?

There are no ongoing costs. You are required to purchase all products from Archgola.

What is the earning potential?

The potential is only limited by your input. Like many business opportunities this will depend on factors such as the time and effort committed, your personal ability to relate to customers and close deals, your local marketing efforts, customer satisfaction and referrals, cost controls and accuracy of quoting.

Can I do my own local marketing?

Yes, aligned to the Archgola brand guidelines. Archgola provides a free graphic design service to support your chosen activities, and home show event support.

Can I only offer Archgola?

You don’t have to be exclusively operate your Archgola business. In some cases a complementary business aligns well with the Archgola business and product offering. For example deck construction, pool building, landscaping all aligns well with the outdoor living package offered by Archgola.

Do I have to use approved suppliers?

Yes, we have approved suppliers for all aspects of the Archgola products, from the roofing, framing, screws, fittings, through to outdoor blinds and infills. Archgola is always happy to discuss with a Licensee if an additional supplier would offer benefit to the network.

What systems will I have access to?

We provide software to allow you to design and quote, as well as access to a CRM system for lead management. We do not provide a job management system, however some Licensees choose to add this to their business toolbox.

What training is provided?

We provide ongoing support. Initially there is an onboarding and induction process, and we provide product, system and process training. We also allocate a support person from a nearby Archgola region.

Who contacts the customer?

The Licensee is responsible for managing the customer from the time the lead is received through to installation and post-sales support.

Who is responsible for workmanship and compliance?

The Licensee is responsible for adhering to all Health and Safety requirements, building code and NZ standards, contactor management and all customer workmanship warranties.

Can I grow beyond my initial region?

This is possible and has occurred in the past, as other regions become available. We require Licenses to be within driving distance of customers, so neighbouring regions are most likely. We have also had Licensees move within NZ.

Can I sell my License?

When a License is for sale, Archgola HQ manages the sale / purchase of licensees’ businesses, including the approval of future Licensees.

Archgola has an internal valuation model for setting the sale price.
