Franchising


We are committed to making our country a little cleaner, improving our ecology, and helping people become healthier. We are confident that together we can achieve this faster! We want bicycles to occupy the same place in our lives as mobile phones, without which we can no longer imagine ourselves. We are not chasing after what’s impossible to achieve. We take an example from Europe, where bicycles have long been a common means of transport, not only on forest trails but also in cities, where the number of healthy and active people is significantly higher than in our country. If you care about the future of the next generations, if you care about the future of your children — don’t wait for a miracle. Join us and let’s work together for the good of this noble cause! Don’t know where to start? No worries! We’ll teach you, guide you, and support you!

Franchising or how to open a bike rental in Ukraine?

veliki ukraine1To start your own business, you need to go through all the stages of its creation from scratch. This is often a long and troublesome process. There is no guarantee that you will succeed in this. It is easier and safer for a novice businessman to buy a franchise. A franchise is considered more reliable worldwide than the business of ordinary small businesses. The business is already well established and has been comprehensively tested in practice for some time, has won its niche in a certain market segment, and has proven itself on the positive side. By purchasing a franchise, a start-up businessman receives the right to run his own business under the seller’s trademark, which leads to the instant acquisition of a reputation among consumers of another outlet in the network. When selling a franchise, the seller provides the buyer with a standard package of documentation in the form of instructions on equipment, suppliers, business methods and technologies, and conducts a training course so that the franchise buyer can quickly start his or her new business. In the process, the seller provides the buyer with the necessary consultations and finds solutions to problems together with the buyer. The presence of a trademark in the network allows each franchise owner to use the full power of advertising this trademark, to advertise their product or service in the regional network on a larger scale than ordinary small businesses do. Within the network, the franchise seller provides the buyer with the opportunity to purchase consumables and components at preferential prices, either from the seller or from designated suppliers, and such opportunities make the supply system reliable and profitable for the franchise buyer. When purchasing a franchise, the buyer should remember that he or she is not working alone, but as part of a network. He is an important link in the network of similar franchise owners and must comply with all the rules of franchise cooperation, act within the network on the principles of mutually beneficial cooperation, support and mutual assistance of other participants and a conscientious attitude to the performance of his duties, to other network participants, the trademark and customers.

Bicycle procurement for rental: Since 2014, we have been manufacturing rental bicycles under the Veliki TM. These bicycles meet all operational requirements for rentals. We have selected the most popular sizes and attractive colors, and, of course, bicycles for our franchisees will be sold at a 30% discount.

Staff training: As our network expanded, we encountered staffing challenges. The number of rental locations increased, as did the number of bicycles in our fleet. Managing and servicing rental points became increasingly complex, and the labor market lacked skilled personnel suited to our needs. In 2014, we established our own mechanic training courses – Ukraine’s first bicycle mechanic school, where our partners can study at discounted rates. Additionally, at franchisee meetings, we periodically conduct masterclasses on rental point operations.

By starting a business with “Veliki“, you receive not just a set of documents and a brand name, but a complete business process and comprehensive support from colleagues who have been operating in the bicycle rental market across various cities in Ukraine since 2009.

Organizational Requirements

  • Number of staff at the location: 1-2 people.

  • Requirements for the location: presence of parks, park zones, bike lanes, and areas suitable for cycling.

After signing the contract, within 1 month, the franchisee will receive 1 set of branded T-shirts and caps (1 black, 1 white – work and formal wear).

Training is conducted through an internship at the franchise seller’s location for 1-3 days.

For already existing bike rentals, workshops, and stores, discounts from -5% to -25% are available for joining the network.
