veryone has their own idea of what success means to them. For some, it’s about fi nancial security, a mortgage-free life and pension provisions for the
future. For others, it’s about having the fl exibility to spend time with their families, enjoy hobbies and make the most of the here and now.
Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA)
UK’s franchise partners are no diff erent when it comes to having myriad reasons for investing in the multi-award-winning franchise. Over the past 20 years, ambitious professionals from all walks of life have been able to realise dreams and achieve goals that, before deciding to join the ERA UK family, they hadn’t even thought possible. Take Andrew Kinnear, who launched his franchise in 2013 after deciding that it was “now or never” to become his own boss. While his annual targets included some pretty impressive fi nancial and operational goals, his long-term grand plan was even more aspirational. “I’ve always dreamed of owning a second property in the south of France and being able to spend half the year there,” Andrew stated after being awarded Newcomer of the Year by ERA UK in 2015. “One of the benefi ts of ERA UK is that I can do much of my work from almost anywhere, so this really would be a dream scenario for me and my family.”
“ERA gives you freedom and fl exibility”
Two years on from that moment and, thanks to his hard work and dedication, Andrew’s dream scenario has become a reality! He says: “It was actually a goal of mine to own a house in France since the moment I joined; I remember telling my trainer at the ERA UK academy on day one. And last month, I bought it! It’s brilliant because I’ll be spending three months over there next year and then progressively more time in the years to come. “The beauty of ERA UK is the freedom

and fl exibility that it gives you; the business goes where I go, so I can work from anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be sitting with my feet up for three months, I’ll be working as hard as ever – but with a view, the sun and my own pool!” Or perhaps you have aspirations closer to home, like Andrew Beer – another franchise partner who, like Andrew Kinnear, saw his dreams of business ownership being as much about lifestyle as fi nances. After years working in London, work-life balance was something that Andrew was keen to achieve with his new business. His two children were both under the age of three when he launched his franchise in 2013, so working from home and being
more of a hands-on parent was a top priority. It’s something Andrew is proud to say he’s achieved and, what’s more, it’s meant that his wife can pursue her own business aspirations as well! He says: “The best thing about this business is the fl exibility and being in a situation where we can run two businesses. My wife runs her own HR recruitment company, and if I was still working in the city or even had a nine- to-fi ve job, I don’t think my wife would be able to run her business. I see far more of my kids than I’m sure most fathers do – I take them to school and can organise my days around their routine. Financially, my wife and I are both earning now and the payoff comes in other, frankly more important, areas, like spending time with my family. I’m proud to say I have a less stressful, healthier and more balanced lifestyle – all since joining ERA UK!”
