Why Franchising?
Buying a Franchise is a truly wonderful way to run your own business. Maybe you haven’t even looked at franchising before, but if you need any convincing that franchising is the most successful way to start a business, perhaps the following independent research will help. Below are some excerpts from the 2008 British Franchise Association/NatWest Survey on franchising in the UK.
The Facts
- There are over 370,000 people employed in Franchised companies
- Nearly two thirds of Franchisees were in salaried employment immediately before taking out their current Franchise, and 29% were self employed outside franchising
- 93% of Franchisees claimed to make a profit in 2008
- The industry has a turnover in the UK of over £9 billion
- Financial success is the key driver motivating franchisees. A high 70% (compared to 60% last year) reported their main motivation for running a franchise is to operate a profitable business hence making themselves wealthy in the process.
- Franchising is a respected and proven way to start and grow a business.
The great thing about buying a franchise is that all your mistakes have been made for you! Starting a business isn't a 'walk in the park' as anyone who has done it will tell you. There's is an awful lot to learn and the time to learn it is in the first few crucial months when cash is at a premium.
We ensure that you have tried and tested marketing materials, a proper costed business plan, sales and profit forecasts and, most importantly sound business advice based on experience which will ensure you get off to a flying start and maximise your earnings from day one.
