Starting a Franchise - 10 reasons to start a franchise

Do you find yourself wondering what you have achieved over the past 12 months and find yourself with very little to reply with. If the answer is yes, then it may be time for a career or lifestyle change.

Here we explain why now more than ever may be the right time to start a franchise.

1. Take control of your working hours, earnings and future

Start a Franchise

Are you sick and tired of living by someone else’s watch?

Do you get frustrated that all of your work efforts go towards lining someone else’s pockets?

Addressing all of these issues is the option of franchising, which puts you in control of your working hours, earnings and future.

2. Security through proven success

Franchising provides far better security than going it alone and each franchise company that you consider will be able to demonstrate the experience of their existing franchisees to help you in your business, with that knowledge being passed on through their tools, training and support.

3. Be part of an instantly recognisable brand

Going it alone also requires time, effort and resources in building up a reputation. Being part of a franchise means that potential customers immediately connect with your brand. Such brand power and trust is invaluable within the world of business, regardless of the specific industry.

4. Take advantage of the economic times

The UK economy continues to grow; month on month our economic output is looking stronger and stronger and it seems that there has never been a better time over the past 8 years to launch your own business.

5. Many industries are seeing unprecedented expansion

It seems that now is the time for change and trends being seen within franchising show there are some market sectors that are especially hot right now, as the economy grows.  These include Property, Recruitment, Cleaning Services, In-Home Care Services and Sport Franchises.

6. There is now more choice than ever

There once was a time where franchises were seriously limited. Today however far from having too few franchise options you may find that instead you have too many (it’s a good job that we’ve got a rather helpful search tool!).

7. That jump isn’t so scary with the right support

Start a Franchise

When buying a franchise you’re not just buying a business opportunity, you’re buying marketing and operational support; this all makes you feel that you’re not alone. With a franchise, there is always someone who you can call for help or advice.

8. Franchises are the least risky form of business

Many people contemplate starting a business, only to never realise their dreams due to fears of financial risks.

To this end, franchises can be considered as the least risky form of doing business, boasting a far higher success rate than stand-alone businesses. Short of your initial investment there may be little to no ongoing outlays to consider.  Of course, different franchises will require different forms of expenditure.

9. Develop as a business person, develop your business

As a franchise owner you won’t just receive initial training to start your business journey, you’ll receive ongoing training (some aspects of ongoing training may have a fee) to continue the development of your business and of yourselfas business person.

10. Because now is the time

They say that life is something that happens whilst we’re busy making other plans and if this strikes a chord with you then assessing where you’re at right now as compared to where you want to be is essential. 

Chances are you’ll find that there’s quite a void between these two places and over the years you may have presumed that progressing to that bigger house, larger salary and more affluent a lifestyle will simply come to you. The fact is however, these things only come to those who take chances and change their path.

So don’t continue to wait for the right time and don’t sit back and watch your plans go unrealised… get started today with some research into franchises and find out what could be around the corner for you in 2015.
