Why I chose franchising.
I had been looking for a complete change in regards to my previous occupation and the demands it was placing on my home life. My wife is also a franchisee and so I had direct experience of what can be achieved with hard work and commitment.
What I did before taking up a franchise.
Before franchising I was a Police Officer
How I raised the finance.
I raised the finance through personal savings and a bank loan from Nat West.
The training and support I receive from my franchisor.
So far the support has been excellent. I am able to contact him at any time for advice. My initial training was very good and ended with a team building exercise with all the other franchisees.
My advice to someone thinking of buying their first franchise.
My advice to someone thinking of buying their first franchise is to be 100% sure that the business is something you have a passion for. Be sure you have the support of your family 100%. When you have that then research the franchise thoroughly and ask as many questions as you can think of.
My plans for the future.
My plans for the future are to build a successful business with a large customer base which is varied between corporate and private customers. I eventually want to employ other valetors.
