ChipsAway International is a world leader in automotive paint repair, and recently continued to roll out its market-beating brand with the launch of a master franchise operation in Greece.

Developed in the USA, the ChipsAway International SMART repair system enables high quality repairs to minor bumps, scuffs and scratches on paintwork to be made quickly and cost-effectively. There is a huge demand for the service and virtually no competition, as the company's UK experience has shown.

Theodore Sarantaris, the new Greek master franchisee, was looking for a lucrative investment opportunity, and identified ChipsAway as the perfect business prospect, with superb potential for development and substantial return. "I was impressed by the people, the technology and the business concept," he says. "Moreover, there is very little in the way of potential competition...a few months in and already I have had strong interest from potential franchisees."

Theo received extensive training in the UK, where the ChipsAway franchise has been established for nearly 10 years and is immensely successful with over 300 franchisees in operation. Following the official launch of ChipsAway in Greece, attended by Chairman Roger Wild, Theo will benefit from further business development support on the ground in Greece to help establish and build his franchise network.

"ChipsAway has achieved tremendous growth since its inception in 1994," comments Roger Wild. "It is a highly successful, market-dominating brand in the UK thanks to its unique technology, systems and training programmes. By selecting experienced, ambitious partners, we have seen our winning formula replicated again and again in the international arena."

Currently, the business operates successfully in 20 countries worldwide, and is rapidly expanding. Complete the reader response form below to find out more about this opportunity.

SPAIN: Jeremy Escombe-Gedge, master franchisee for Spain, has targeted several hundred franchisees across Spain.

"I knew if I didn't seize this opportunity, someone else would! It's a substantial investment and you can't expect success overnight, but your money comes back to you in large chunks. Within 26 months of operating, we have bought and paid for our business. We have no overdraft, no borrowings, and I estimate that within three years we should be making very serious money indeed."

HOLLAND: Mark Hamilton, master franchisee for Holland, is poised to sign for a second five years.

"I wanted something new and exciting to introduce to the marketplace. There are so many fast food and business services franchises - ChipsAway offers something really different. Over the last five years we've established a reputation for quality and a strong business base here in Holland. This will be the springboard for achieving even greater things with ChipsAway over the next five years."

DENMARK & GERMANY: Carsten Bo Petersen, master franchisee for Denmark, expanded to take on the master franchise for Germany.

"I recognised the potential of the ChipsAway business opportunity straight away. I've done really well in Denmark and I'm confident that there is huge potential to build on that success in Germany. Denmark has a population of only 5 million - Germany has a population of 80 million!"
