About Us
V.I.P. Australia began in Adelaide in 1972 when founder Bill Vis needed to supplement his income as a door-to-door salesman for Electrolux. Spotting a lawn mowing contractor arrive and cut the lawns of his sales prospects, Bill decided to start offering clients a lawn mowing service for the coming Saturday. This proved a popular and successful decision. Before he knew it, Bill was making more money in one day mowing lawns than a lot of people were making during their normal 38 hour working week.
This principle still
applies today. The majority of V.I.P. franchisees are still making an above average income and some have built businesses that employ over 20 people, with a staggering turnover of more than $800,000 per annum. While some franchisees prefer to keep their operations small, working only a few days per week to spend more time to with their family, friends, and generally doing the things they love in life.
Franchising is a license granted to a franchisee (you) to operate a business using the support systems and procedures developed by the franchisor (V.I.P.). V.I.P. was the original company to franchise into the lawn and garden industry in Australia, and remains one of the most well known and successful franchise systems in Australasia – with over 1000 franchisees across Australia and New Zealand. V.I.P. has franchise business opportunities available in "garden and lawn maintenance", "home cleaning", "commercial cleaning", "pool care", and "money".
