FAQ's and Information

Yes, we believe that by having a ‘territory’ (or Designated Marketing Area as we prefer to call them) our franchisees can grow and develop their local test and tag business and build a tangible asset for their future.

ATS currently has DMA’s available in all States and Territories.

Setting up a new business, be it a franchise or otherwise, needs a great deal of thought and consideration. For this reason at ATS we don’t like to rush our franchisee selection process and prefer that prospective franchisees take enough time to ensure that they have conducted their own research and due diligence and sought appropriate advice from third party advisers before signing on the dotted line.

ATS currently has territories available across all Australian States and Territories and, as the ATS test and tag franchise is a mobile business our recruitment process is not delayed by searching for suitable available premises or entering into lengthy lease negotiations.

However to ensure compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Franchise Code of Conduct, we estimate that the minimum period from initial enquiry to the first day in your new business could be 6-8 weeks.

No, we are electricians, so you don’t need to be! 

The Australian Standard requirement for testing and tagging of portable electrical appliances is that you are a competent person as defined by the Standard. Our comprehensive in-house training provides all of the technical skills you will require to perform Testing and Tagging of portable electrical appliances, along with the additional services that ATS offers to its clients.

Electricity is our business; we are specialists and can therefore provide all of the support and back up that our franchisees may need.

Please note in QLD you are required to be a Registered Electrical Contractor (not an electrician) and ATS can assist you with the application process.

Franchise fee (including training)         $32,500 plus GST

You will also need a suitable work vehicle which must be no more than three years old and black or white in colour.

ATS also recommends a minimum of $20,000 working capital

We anticipate that a good test and tag franchisee can achieve net revenue of between $70,000 and $100,000 per annum.

ATS tenders for test and tag contracts nationally and is in the fortunate position of being able to provide its franchisees across Australia with some work.

However, there are no guarantees and prospective franchisees need to be prepared to undertake local area marketing activities to grow and develop their business at a local level.

Following successful completion of a test and tag course conducted by an external provider,ATS provides a two week induction training course at our Melbourne Support Office.

The course includes both in-house and on-site hands-on technical training. In addition to technical training, ATS provides training in business operations and sales and marketing.

Sales training and coaching is provided on an ongoing basis.

We currently have a number of franchisees that operate more than one set of test equipment in their area.  

ATS will provide you with guidance and support with regards to the expansion of your business as your business develops.
