Why choose a Test & Tag Business for sale?
Are you looking for a change? Are you looking to start your own business but not sure where to begin? Well, maybe our low cost-franchise opportunity is exactly what you have been looking for! Did you know that 80% of independent businesses fail during the first 3 years… but 80% of franchises succeed, full stop! Well, a test and tag business offers many benefits that make it a standout choice!
Key Benefits
It is normal to worry about whether or not you will have enough work to start your own franchise business, but one of the highlights of a test and tag franchise is that the industry brings in repeat work! The test and tag industry is government-mandated meaning that businesses are required to have their services completed to uphold their duty of care. Testing frequencies range from three months to five years, meaning that once you secure a client you will continue to service them on a regular basis so they can remain compliant with the Australian Standards. At The Local Guys, we have a saying, “If you can secure 12 months worth of work, you will have 10 years worth of work.” So, look after your clients and they will look after you!
As opposed to other service-based industries that focus mostly on the consumer, the test and tag industry is primarily business to business, meaning that it is a larger ticket item. Test and tagging offers high-profit margins due to its low overheads. The primary outlay is the cost of tags, which is minimal compared to the return of investment.
Why A Service Franchise?
One of the standout benefits of a test and tag franchise is the flexibility that the industry offers. Test and tagging is a fairly relaxed industry. Unlike other service-based industries, such as a plumber, the clients can be demanding due to the nature of the work. If something breaks down, they need it fixed urgently and it could be at 3am! However, with test and tagging it's preventative maintenance, as long as the client has their testing completed within 4 weeks so they remain compliant. Additionally, as the work is business to business (commercial), a test and tag franchise generally operates within business hours… not to mention, you are your own boss! This means you can have a healthy work-life balance, as you can select the times you work! If you want to pick the kids up from school or have a hit of golf on a Friday, you can!
Did you know that the test and tag industry has one of the highest retention rate for service industries? In other words, once in, individuals tend to stay for a long period of time… and honestly, there isn’t really an explanation needed as to why when you look at the benefits a test and tag franchise has to offer! The opportunity of a test and tag business for sale with The Local Guys is the perfect choice for enthusiastic and driven individuals who are looking to build not only the business of their dreams but the life they have always wanted!

Being a Test & Tag Franchise Partner is great! Seriously, what other franchise could off you:
- Work your own hours
- Clients are relaxed and flexible when you perform your work! Unlike many service-based businesses (ie. a plumber) where the work requires immediate action, the test & tag industry is fairly flexible. As long as you complete the testing before their tags are due, clients are typically happy to be work around your available hours.
- Great profit margins! Typically service based businesses have very good margins. However, Test & Tag is a standout from other service-based businesses. This is because the major expense is tags, which is very low compared to the profit you can make.
- Repeat work! Typically, if you can get 12 months’ worth of work, you should have 10 years’ worth of work. So, look after your customers & they will look after you too!
When you join a franchise with The Local Guys, the opportunities are endless! As this will be your own business, you have the opportunity to build the business of your dreams.

However, we will provide sales leads and LAM (local area marketing) training to equip you with the necessary skills to be successful. Unlike an independent business, a franchise offers you the reputation and support of a national brand with proven systems and processes in place that have been trialed over many years.
