The proof of the pudding is the longevity of these relationships; most


franchisees have been partners with Autosmart for over a decade. New franchisees grow their turnover


by 33 per cent on average during their rst year of trading. efore franchisees start trading they have a meeting with their regional business manager. They will discuss their dreams and goals and tie it all into a business plan, which they can refer back to on a regular basis to keep track of their success. Autosmart franchisees are competitive and entrepreneurial, so it’s no wonder that the network operates with a can-do attitude and always strives for better. l
