How will VIP Lighting work with you to grow your franchise?
In 2003 VIP Lighting completed the Franchising Code requirements to give the opportunity for others not to watch us grow, but to be able to grow with us.
It is the objective of VIP Lighting to build the value of all our franchisee’s businesses. To achieve this we work closely with our franchise partners to ensure every zone is being worked to its full potential. We have structured our franchise model in a way that removes some of the typical stress’s that come with running a business.
A VIP Lighting franchise allows for flexibility. . .

What some of our existing franchisees have to say
“In 2010 I was looking for a change from being a Manager at a timber yard and knew I wanted to find something that gave me more freedom. After doing a lot of searching the opportunity with VIP Lighting was hard to pass up. Since purchasing my original franchise I went onto buy a second and could not be happier.” – Todd D., Brisbane, QLD
“I started with VIP Lighting back in 2004 and for over 10 years I have been enjoying the lifestyle that comes with owning a VIP Lighting franchise and the ability to run my own business. Like any business owner you get out what you put in and over the years I continue to enjoy seeing my hard work pay off.” – Paul L., Sydney, NSW
“What impressed me about VIP Lighting was that I was joining a nationwide team with a large customer base. It’s a company that cares about its customers and goes the extra mile to deliver quality service whether you are in Perth or the Gold Coast. Also being part of the VIP Lighting team can be a lot of fun!” – Mark G, Perth, WA
“When I came on board with VIP Lighting I knew that as a Franchise owner I would have a secure income and get to be my own boss. The big appeal was the low start-up costs and the fact that head office would look after the paper work. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of a change in careers to see what VIP Lighting can offer.” – Jacque H., Brisbane, QLD
“With VIP Lighting’s unique business model I don’t have to worry about finding new customers or chasing overdue accounts and all the paper-work that goes with it. The team at head office are always on top of things and I can just focus on the work for the day. Also getting out to clients makes every day different, with new challenges and sure beats a desk job! After I bought my first franchise in 2004 I didn’t need a lot of convincing when I went on to purchase my second and third one!” – Emmanuel M., Sydney, NSW
