That’s a lot of prospects. On average, a client will spend £400 on getting their Will drafted and you’ll mostly meet couples.

If you can find just two couples a week, you could earn £83,200 per year, and that’s only two couples a week.

But the business is not just advising and writing Wills. As a Will and Probate Services Franchisee you can offer a comprehensive range of additional
services that many other sectors can’t.
