Franchising is a fantastic way to start and run your own business and provides you with an opportunity to earn a high income but with the support and backup of the franchisor behind you.

A franchise reduces the risk of failure.

Starting a new business always carries a risk, new businesses are vulnerable. The degrees of vulnerability vary depending on:

1. Knowledge
2. Skill
3. Financial resources
4. Relevant abilities

Many who start up their own business lack some or all of these qualities. Many fail because they cannot learn quickly enough before the money runs out. 80% of new businesses starting today will fail within the first five years.

With a franchise this risk is substantially reduced because you are buying the experience and expertise of the franchisor. This will also stop you making the same mistakes that they have made during their trading life!

Because you become part of successful business you will be able to take advantage of their buying power and link into the strong relationships that they have developed over the years.

Other franchise benefits.

As we said right at the beginning of this section a franchise provides the opportunity to earn a high income working for yourself but with the training, support and experience of an established business behind you.
You are selling an established brand and service with a turnkey business plan and format for you to operate. This includes the brand, systems and processes, lead generation and marketing assistance plus help with raising finance if required.

The Lifestyle.

If you enjoy getting out and about, meeting people from all walks of life, and work from home, then this is the business for you. The business is seasonal, very busy in summer, so expect to work Saturday’s (Sunday’s if you wish) to keep up with demand. Long hours apply in the summer months; this is when you make your money. Spring and autumn you can tick over nicely. Winter is the time to concentrate on heating and maintenance contracts. There are opportunities toadd to your income during the quieter months with additional services, and we can help you with those, but it’s your business, so you could also make use of this time to relax, go on holiday. Most of what you earn is made during the warmer months, so you’ll deserve a break.
