Franchising details
The short break and holiday accommodation market is buoyant, especially for operators who can also cater for renewed interest in self-catering, and the blossoming “business tourism” sector.
Approved Serviced Apartments manages to tick all of those boxes.
It offers a portfolio of quality accommodation throughout Manchester and Chester – two cities that are ever more popular with both tourists and business travellers.
Offering everything from one bedroom urban apartments to spacious four bedroomed townhouses, Approved Serviced Apartments “handpicks” its accommodation to ensure that customers enjoy an excellent stay. In some cases, the company buys up, renovates and refurbishes properties to add to its portfolio.
Some have pools, gyms and balconies with breathtaking city views.
The fact that its range of quality long or short-term accommodation is scattered across the thriving city of Manchester puts it in the perfect position to cash in on the city’s growing prominence.
The promise of scrupulously clean and well-appointed self-catering places to stay attracts steady growth in its customer base.
For anyone staying in Manchester (or Chester) for business, pleasure or leisure, Approved Service Apartments offers a great alternative to cramped and formal hotel rooms.
Its constantly updated technology includes self-check-in systems and it has Guest Service teams on standby to help guests throughout their stay.
To further grow its business, the company launched a partnership programme. This is the equivalent of a franchise deal. It offers self-employed entrepreneurs the chance to add to, market, and sell the company’s prestigious accommodation portfolio.
The benefits include 24 cash flow, throughout the year. This is because customers log on to the company’s accommodation database around the clock and book their stay, creating a constant revenue stream for partners.

Training and support
Approved Serviced Apartments bases its success on what it refers to as an “eight step system”. This proven business formula and operating procedure are what it passes on to successful applicants to its partnership programme.
The company also carefully guides new associates through selecting and investing in properties using their strict criteria.
Support is given on using the company’s online systems to build a steady stream of bookings, and this is ongoing.
The company vows to “inspire and support our partners to success”.
