O1 Inventories

High-Margin Franchise Opportunity in the Rental Property Market

Having run a very successful inventory business in Surrey….we’re expanding into London and the Home Counties.

Let’s keep this simple. The rental market is changing. As legislation tightens, professional inventory services aren't just an option—they are becoming essential for the almost 2 million renting households in the capital alone. 

Currently, over 80% of rental agreements do not include a professional, independent, inventory. 

That’s where O1 Inventories comes in. We’ve spent the last two decades perfecting a business model that capitalises on this. It works—we proved it. 

We currently have 3 successful territories working closely together and flying high in Surrey, and now we are ready to expand to a limited number of new franchise partners in Greater London and the Home Counties.
