The Big Question - Getting the Money!!

Posted by marcus in Ask The Experts on 06.09.2008 9:16:05 am | 342 views

Hi All,

 

This is a fabulous site and will become a fantastic resource. Well done to all involved.

 

I have been looking at Franchising for some time and have never quite, \"taken the plunge\".

 

The key reason has been taking a risk with the money when I have a familiy and financial commitments currently.

 

One question I have been exploring, and as yet do not have an answer for, is, for any potential Franchise I undertake, should I set up a private company and take the Franchise out in the name of the private company which may limit personal liability?

 

Anyone have any ideas on this?

 

Thanks

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

 

Usually you set up your trading name for example Marcus Kelly trading as Dolly Char Northampton. 

 

Trading names are usually set up in this way so as if a franchise company recruits a franchisee that subsequently makes a hash of his/her own business then the franchise companies name does not get damaged as a result.

Robin Harrison is the managing Director of Dolly Char (UK) Ltd. Dolly Char (UK) Ltd is one of the fastest growing domestic cleaning franchise companies in the UK today giving people the opportunity to work from the comfort of their own home.

Hi Marcus

 

I agree with Robin - this seems the best way of doing it and the most common.

 

It does work slightly different in other countries, so if you were looking at buying a franchise that involves relocating abroad, to say Spain or Portugal, let me know and I could advise further.

 

Kind regards
