Why Jim's?
There are a number of advantages to being involved in the Jim’s Mowing System. Being number one gives Jim's Mowing Franchisees a huge advantage when it comes to work. As a group at most times of the year we have more work than they can handle, in fact, around 59,390 jobs go unserviced each year.
Jim's Mowing is a lifestyle business. Be your own boss, working your own hours, and with the opportunity to build without limit.
There are great benefits to being part of Jim’s Mowing: Strong Name; good reputation; proven system; ongoing support; training; options to grow; great network for help and much more.
Marketing support
Last year our Mowing Division knocked back 59,390 leads because all local operators were flat out. Many Franchisees start with an established round, and those who do not get a Work Availability Guarantee which pays up to $1500 per week for doing free promotional work. Unlike most such guarantees, this one does not cut out after a set period. In practice, most Franchisees never claim since work is plentiful from the beginning.
Training provided
At Jim’s we put Franchisees first, and this is more than a slogan. Franchisees are entitled to ongoing regular meetings, fast response to their calls, and regular pro-active calls to provide coaching and advice. Also, initial training is provided to give you the required skills.
Skills
We are looking for people who want to start being rewarded for their own hard work. You will be someone who is willing to attend the initial training and take advantage of the step-by-step Jim's system.
Length of Agreement
Follow our step-by-step systems to grow a successful business and you will find there is no limit to the length of agreement. We poll Franchisees each year to check that proper service is being provided, and Franchisees with problems are invited to go direct to our founder, Jim Penman. Jim’s is the only Franchise system in the world that allows Franchisees to change to another Franchisor or even vote them out, if not happy with the service they receive.

History
Jim Penman started a part-time gardening business while earning his PhD in history at Latrobe University. He launched a full-time mowing business in 1982 with a $24 investment. He originally aimed only at taking on subcontractors, but his business grew and he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds.
By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australian and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world.
