Name: Gary Stevens
Location: Tonbridge
Franchise: Autovaletdirect
Why I chose franchising
I chose to go down the franchising route because, through some research, I knew that the business has been tried and tested. As well as this, you have the security of having permanent back up and support to help you with any questions of problems you may have.
What I did before taking up a franchise
Before starting my franchise I worked for Royal Mail
How I raised the finance
I raised the finance through my own savings and a business loan.
The training and support I receive from my franchisor
The training and support given has been excellent. Training and support is key, especially when you have just started, as there is always someone at the other end of the phone when you have any questions.
The challenges I have faced
The challenges I have faced have been in the day-to-day running of my business and coping with one of the hardest winters for many years.
My advice to someone thinking of buying their first franchise
My advice to someone thinking of buying a franchise would be to find one that suits them, something you will enjoy in 5 years time, and to research the business thoroughly.
My plans for the future
My plans for the future are to grow the business and have another van on the road.
