Franchise certainty? I


Platinum Property Partners – a unique franchise model built to prosper in uncertain times


INVESTMENT LEVEL: PRICE ON APPLICATION


nvesting in a business model that has been thoroughly tested for success is one of the major benefi ts of franchising. Following a proven system, as opposed to starting out on your own, is what attracts a large number of people to franchising. An astounding 90 per cent of new business startups fail to survive past the fi rst two years of operation. In comparison, the bfa/NatWest Franchise Survey 2015 revealed that 93 per cent of franchises are profi table within two years. So, in times of uncertainty, franchising seems like a sensible business choice. But not all franchise opportunities are equal.


Robust or bust?


Although franchising gives people the opportunity to benefi t from a tried-and- tested business model, some franchise systems are more robust than others. This means some can withstand greater changes and fl uctuations within whichever market they operate.


In the franchising world, models, which


have already gone through adversity and survived, are generally better prepared for any future ups and downs. As Warren Buff ett famously said: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.”


PPP is here…and stronger than ever! Sustainability is what gives you and your business long-term security and Platinum Property Partners (PPP) is not only one of the most robust franchise models available, but also the highest performing buy-to-let model.


Since being founded in 2007, PPP has


already experienced signifi cant market changes, especially in the aftermath of the fi nancial crisis. Yet, some of its partners who joined during that time have been the most successful to date.


Why? Firstly, people always need places to live. As PPP properties cater for working professionals, who often need to relocate for new jobs, there is always a demand for high quality and aff ordable accommodation – especially when tenants could be faced


with a diffi cult job market. Secondly, PPP’s property investment model is a long-term strategy that focuses on a high level of cash fl ow and maximising rental income – four times that achieved by a standard buy-to-let property. That doesn’t take into account any capital growth or development profi t, which is an added bonus.


“PPP can provide a level of certainty in a time of uncertainty”


And fi nally, like other franchisees,


PPP’s partners are in business for themselves but not by themselves. Being part of a supportive and like-minded network of professionals makes going through changes less daunting. After all, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Today, the PPP network consists


of more than 250 partners who own a combined property portfolio worth £213million, and provide high quality and aff ordable accommodation to 4,500 tenants throughout Scotland, England and Wales.


This just goes to show that the PPP model was built to withstand turbulent


times – PPP survived, it prospered, and came out stronger. In any periods of uncertainty, PPP will continue to do the same.


What the future holds... With change comes opportunity. In terms of the property market, the predictions are that buy-to-let mortgage rates are likely to be cut, purchase prices could reduce, there will be less competition from amateur landlords, and building and refurbishment work could cost you less. Added to that, property is one of the most robust and fi nancially rewarding asset classes. So could this be the perfect time to start your own buy-to-let business? If you are ready to take control of your own future, the franchise can provide a level of certainty in time of uncertainty. Platinum Property Partners can help you build an extremely profi table and sustainable buy- to-let business, which could give you an income for life, security in your retirement, as well as a lucrative legacy for your loved ones.
