Why should I consider running my own business?

There are many good reasons:

  • You get to be your own boss
  • It allows you to harness your creativity
  • You can set your own work/life balance
  • It allows you to challenge yourself
  • You can take real pride in your ownership and achievements

Growing numbers of people are taking the plunge and becoming their own boss. Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that the number of self-employed people rose to a record high of more than 4.6 million in the September-November period of 2015.

Why should I consider a franchise?

Taking the franchise route is becoming increasingly popular:

  • Because of the support you get from day one
  • The opportunity it gives you to build a significant, profitable local business
  • A franchise is proven to be far more likely to succeed, than a non-franchise start-up
  • You get brand name recognition and a tried and tested business model
  • Franchising is about being in business for yourself – but not by yourself
  • The statistics are also impressive; this is a growing, vibrant route to business ownership.

The franchise sector is fast growing. It continues to outperform the overall economy, now contributing £15.1billion in turnover and supporting 621,000 jobs. Figures also show a record 97% of franchisees report profitability and more than 90% are satisfied or very satisfied with their franchisor. Take John, who is one of our successful clients. Three years after contacting us he is Managing Director of his own business in the East Midlands, employs a 40-strong staff, has a turnover approaching £750,000 and plans to expand into other parts of the UK. Mr Franchise’s open and honest matchmaking service points you in the right direction to successful business ownership – if it’s the right direction for you.
