Fantastic Services sign new Master Franchise in Hungary as they accelerate their global expansion

Fantastic Services has launched in Hungary. The business has appointed Marcell Mark and Daniel Pongracz as its Hungarian Master Franchisees and is now actively looking for franchise business partners in the country.

Marcell and Daniel previously ran a very successful domestic services business in Hungary, but were struggling to keep up with the exploding demand. After a chance conversation with a colleague they started to research Fantastic Services, and found that it could provide them with everything they were looking for to cope with the rising demand of their product.

Marcell explains: “Believe it or not we started thinking about a home services business when Daniel was renovating his flat. He was throwing a house warming party and decided to put up a mirror in his entrance room, but he accidentally drilled a hole through a wire meaning he had no electricity. Daniel had guests arriving soon but had no power and was not sure what to do. Unfortunately, in Hungary the opinion of home services professionals is not very good, and there is always a worry about will they do a good job, will they steal something, or do they offer a guarantee? Luckily Daniel found someone, but it started us thinking about how there was a great need for reliable, affordable and well-trained home service professionals in our country.

“This is how Energet was born in 2014, and all we used was a mobile phone and a notepad. Before long we had 2000 jobs, plus 15 full renovations, and then demand doubled the following year. This was the moment when we had to ask ourselves: how are we going to handle this growth? We had two options, either invest in new software to digitalise the whole process, or look for an existing international company which could help us. One of our plumbers used to work in England, and he told me about Fantastic Services. I immediately started to do my research and got very excited. Daniel contacted them the next day and we got a response the day after. This happened 1 year and 86 days ago. As of now, we are just about to launch, our mobile app is ready, the website is almost ready, and we have also had many meetings with potential Hungarian franchisees, so it’s all systems go!”

“The main thing that attracted us to Fantastic Services was its technology. We were looking for software which enables clients to book online, where the home care professionals could use an app to look at their jobs in real time, and where the whole process, including payments, was digitalised. Fantastic Services could give us everything we were looking for, plus we have the power of a booming global company behind us. Also, being part of a franchise has many advantages, including having a network of entrepreneurs with a similar mindset working alongside you, cost efficient marketing & back office support, a proven track record and know-how, continuous investment in improvement, plus ongoing training and development opportunities. It ticked every box.”
