Signs Express (Twickenham) sponsors The Richmond Borough Schools’ Celebration of Achievement awards.

The event which was held at the Twickenham Rugby Stadium recognises the success of high-achieving pupils at primary, secondary and special schools found across the borough. Some 80 pupils were put forward for the awards as recognition for their outstanding contribution across a range of areas such as sport, academic success and school life.

Signs Express (Twickenham) sponsored the event for the third year running to show support to the local schools in their region. The sponsorship included a contribution to the prizes awarded to the winning students. Jay Patel, centre owner at Signs Express (Twickenham) commented: “We try to support our local community as much as we can. The annual awards is a great way to help build the confidence of the pupils especially when some of the children have had to deal with personal difficulties and ill health. It gives them a chance to feel appreciated for their efforts and encourages them for the future.”

The winners include outstanding achievers’ awards such as, sports ambassador of the year which was won by a secondary pupil; an academic and social progress award; and also a Romanian student who was awarded for determination whilst faced with language barriers. The Twickenham-based signage maker helped provide certificates and vouchers for the winners.

6 Steps to successfully buying a franchise.

Step 1. Decide what area of franchising you want to buy into. What are your skills and experience? Take down some notes, mental or otherwise and highlight your strong points. Deciding what area of franchising you want to buy into is a good step to ensuring you succeed in the franchise opportunity you purchase.

Step 2. Finances, how much money can you invest? Many banks offer great franchise financing packages and some franchisors may even lend you the money themselves but be aware that these need paid back and banks charge high interest. The more capital you have up front the better. The type of franchise you buy will depend heavily on how much you are willing to invest.

Step 3. Search the internet - franchise directories such as this one can give you a broad range of franchise opportunities and ideas from the one portal, making your job easier. You can order multiple franchise packs from the franchise opportunities on display which gives you all the material you will need to make an informed decision.

Step 4. Search the internet again - once you have looked through the franchise packs and have short listed a few, do some Google searches on them. Can you find unhappy franchisees with bad things to say about them? If not that's a good sign for there are many websites out there which are there for the sole purpose of displaying bad reports "rip off reports". Be sure that the franchises you are interested in are of a high calibre.

Step 5. Contact the franchisors you have short listed and request a meeting. You need to be prepared for this, come armed with some questions. Ask for lists of current franchisees and their phone numbers, how long they have been in business, expected turnover etc. They will of course only give you the good and every franchisor has failed franchisees but it is something you can certainly work from.

Step 6. Review the franchisors you have had meetings with and choose the best franchise opportunity that you think will work for you. This may be a hard decision, many may have impressed you but in the end it is a personal decision. Remember, this is your hard earned cash you are parting with so do not go out on a whim. Do your research and you will come out the other end with a great business to support you and your family.
