This will equip you with the skills and knowledge to trade confidently, efficiently and professionally.

Whether it’s our telephone helpline, online invoice billing overview, or credit control assistance that you need, you can rest assured that we’ll be there to guide you and relieve you of any daily concerns, so that you can concentrate on building your business.
Who's Ideal for Us
Prokill franchises are awarded at two levels. Initially you’ll be invited to join at ‘Area’ level. The Area territory costs £55,000 for approximately 125,000 properties. This breaks down into £25,000 for the franchise fee with approximately £30,000 for equipment/training/set-up. We believe we’ve got the most professional package of training, business know-how and on-going operational support that you’ll find anywhere. Various support packages are available to help you buy into Prokill.
Once you’ve proven the success of our franchise at Area level you’ll be invited to double the size of your territory to ‘Regional’ level if you wish at an additional cost of £25,000. The beauty of this is that by then you’ll probably be funding your expansion from your own Prokill income.
Are you up to being a local hero?
Ultimately we believe that if you bring genuine commitment, determination and a desire to manage your own business well, we’ll do the rest.
We do have some basic financial requirements, which are there for your and our mutual benefit but thereafter you’ll be impressed by the energy and enthusiasm that is the hallmark of the Prokill family.
Your Prokill business can be as profitable and as extensive as your own ambition – and we’ll support you all the way.
Testimonials
"Having taken out 6 months to identify a viable and saleable business opportunity, I selected Prokill. Looking back over the past 15 months since launch I would struggle to identify a more rewarding or resilient business."
"Since joining the Prokill network in 2007, I have willingly introduced many new franchisees to the opportunity. The business is infectious and it is very rewarding to see them thriving many months later"
"The intrinsic business opportunity is huge. With the guidance of Prokill and the best training in the business, I remain just as excited as the day we launched 15 months ago"
Justin Holloway, Prokill Thames West
Starting with nothing to creating the business as it stands today in this testing financial environment will always be one of my life's huge achievements. Looking forward, the future projects a robust business with a very comfortable income - I'd like to say it was all down to me but it's not.... Prokill offers plans and foundation for success, my work was choosing and placing the bricks.

Territories/Locations
If we’re truly to become Local Heroes on a national basis we need to ensure your success – so we don’t deal in woolly population figures or unrealistic geographical territories that might leave you struggling but allocate you approximately 250,000 properties, real business opportunities – a quantity you’re never likely to exhaust and which means that every franchisee, wherever he or she is based, has a realistic opportunity to succeed.
We will never exceed 100 Prokill franchisees in mainland Britain – so we aim to give every franchisee an equal share of the country’s total properties.
