Laser Electrical Group and Laser Plumbing Group is what forms, as we call it, Laser Group. Our market leadership position has been earned through innovation, planning, use of quality systems and attention to providing the highest levels of customer service.

What does this mean for you? Firstly, we’re certainly not your typical franchise brand.

We approach established, experienced professionals who we see as a perfect fit for the Laser brand. Not the other way round. In turn, our Members are part of a select group of business owners. *

The way we see it, we grow,

you grow.

Honesty and integrity underlie

our approach.

Each and every one of us is on

the journey together.

We’re also aspirational: Think global. Act local.

Our focus is to create a feeling of family across

our network.

What we value

Why join a group? And why us?

There comes a point with building any business where it simply becomes too hard to do exactly that: grow your business further.

In short, it’s being in a position where you can remove yourself from the coalface, so to speak, to make this happen. Easier said than done. Particularly when you’re directly involved in every aspect of the day-to-day running of your business.

How can we help you achieve this? The benefits of becoming part of the extended Laser family are many.

The power of a brand

Firstly, the value of an established, reputable brand cannot be stated enough. In turn, the Laser brand is recognised as an industry leader – through innovation and industry-leading customer service – and highly visible throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Very simply, we’re here to significantly enhance each and every one of our Members’ businesses. With this in mind, we offer Members unprecedented levels of support to help them grow in what is becoming an increasingly competitive environment.

Bottom line aside, it’s a business approach that’s also based in achieving a unique work-lifestyle balance. It’s also something that we see as being far beyond lip service. We’re genuinely focused on making this reality for our Members. Yes, being on the ground and being face-to-face is important, but so too is being a little more flexible to focus on life outside of work. It’s also an important consideration if you intend to exit the business at some point in the future, particularly from an on-sell point of view.

A smarter way to growAs a Laser Member, you’ll have access to unprecedented brand and marketing power.

The Laser brand is recognised throughout Australia and New Zealand and is highly visible.

20102010 Laser Group Re-Brand

So now you have a better understanding of the Laser system. How do you become a Member?

The process is simple…

1. Initial Meeting

This is essentially a ‘meet and greet’ and gives you the opportunity to evaluate the Laser business model. It could be as casual as a quick half-hour chat over coffee. That said, it’s completely confidential and you’re under absolutely no obligation.

Within this, the meeting’s there to answer any detailed questions you may have about both the model and the brand, as a whole. As well as around the ins and outs of investing to be part of the Laser Group.

2. Second Meeting

From there, it’s basically a case of coming into our support office. Here, we’ll give you a more detailed overview of the model. This will normally take around four hours. It’s also a good idea to bring along business stakeholders – anyone who has an influence on your business. This could be your partner, mentor or a business professional.

What’s involved

3. Due diligence

This is an essential and important part of the process. It’s there for you to evaluate the finer details, so to speak, of the potential opportunity. In turn, pre-entry due diligence normally only takes a couple of weeks and will likely involve some interaction with your appointed lawyer, accountant and any business mentors you may have. For your benefit, you may wish to talk to other existing Laser Members to gain a greater understanding of this business opportunity.

* If required, we can also provide you with a due diligence checklist

4. Once the decision is made

If you decide to go ahead and everything’s signed off, it’s very straightforward. We’re here to induct and train you and your team, to ensure that our systems and processes are implemented properly – for your benefit, as well as to help guide you through the whole change-management process.

So who are we looking for?

We mentioned that only experienced, established professionals are approached. What else is important?

Our target market• Forward-thinking professionals who we see as a perfect fit for the

Laser brand (becoming a Member is by invitation only).

• Existing contracting companies with six-plus site workers.

• Businesses respected by their industry, with a proven track record.

• Ethical, friendly professionals who look to do things differently for both their business’ benefit as well as their own.
