The National Trade Register
it is the only trade body or association in the UK that, through its Home and Business Connect divisions, seeks to bring together suitable tradesmen and companies with consumers and businesses looking for a professional and quality service.
All our members are carefully selected, vetted and assessed. Our assessment includes the checking of insurances, references, and work: In fact, unlike some organisations, at The National Trade Register membership is dependent on a prior visit by one of our managers. Only after this process are members eligible to display our logos, emblems and become a Home or Business Connect contractor.
National Trade Register members have access to an unrivalled package of benefits to increase their business, reduce their cost and protect their business.
Training
Your new career begins with an intensive 1-2 day training seminar covering all of the services and products available from My Home Connect and The National Trade Register. You'll meet other franchisees and have an opportunity to ask any questions.You will then progress to field training. You'll start with at least 2 days during the first 4 weeks, working with consumers, prospective National Trade Register members and Home Connect contractors. Almost all of the services offered by the franchise are covered in the Training Manual, which helps to guide you through the whole process.
Online administration
Our online admin department offers templates for fast invoicing and membership applications, letterheads, and access to your members' details. A document library is available for all the forms you'll need, and you can also view and use information sheets, advertising and marketing templates.All you'll require are a good computer, a printer and internet access.
Call Navigator
When you open your My Home Connect branch you will be provided with a complementary inbound call management system. More information about call navigator (pdf)This sophisticated system can handle up to 100 calls at any time with queuing and music on hold, interactive voicemail and fax acceptance. Call Navigator features a virtual receptionist to welcome callers to your branch and direct them to the appropriate person or number.
All you'll need is a BT landline number (it doesn't matter if this is your home number) - you can have the calls diverted to any location you choose. There are no phone charges incurred with the call navigator system unless you choose to have calls diverted to your mobile, when network charges will apply.
Appointments
Recruitment of contractors is your responsibility: we will provide you with 40 - 50 confirmed appointments in the first 4 weeks so that you can enlist new members. Our telemarketing support team will liaise with you to organise these appointments.Open a My Home Connect branch and you can offer a host of additional services to landlords and tenants - pocketing far more income than a simple lettings manager might.
You don't need prior experience in trade or property management - all you need is enthusiasm and the desire to succeed.
What does residential letting involve?
You will manage properties on behalf of landlords who are out of the area or who wish to delegate the responsibility. This involves maintenance contracts (for which you will source tradespeople from the National Trade Register's database), advertising properties, liaising with potential tenants, handling contracts and dealing with tenant problems.
How does My Home Connect support my role?

- access to marketing design templates
