u While the first half of 2020 may have been dominated by news stories of businesses falling victim to the pandemic, bubbling away under the surface were the countless examples of brands rising to the challenge and flourishing as a result. Bringing these stories into
focus last month was the first of the new Business Franchise ‘Spotlight on...’ webinars – now available to watch on demand – exploring why the franchise model is so resilient. During the 45-minute
webinar, two experienced franchisors representing very different sectors discussed their experiences of supporting a franchise network and a customer base under lockdown. Dan Archer, managing Director of care franchise Visiting Angels UK and Anton Skarlatov, CEO and co-founder of property maintenance franchise Fantastic Services joined host by Paul Hansen from funding experts Hitachi Capital Franchise Finance.

"From a lending perspective it's the strength of the franchise model that makes it so attractive to banks and other lenders"
Paul Hanson, Hitachi Capital

During the conversation, Dan Archer confirmed that while it’s been a challenging few months for everyone, Visiting Angels had experienced more demand than ever. Similarly, Anton was pleased to report that the processes Fantastic Services quickly put in place at the beginning of lockdown meant its franchise network were able to carry out business as usual. Both agreed that being part of a network, and having international presence, meant that their brands were able to
anticipate action and support their franchisees in a way that start ups would be unlikely to achieve. As Dan Archer described it: “The strength comes from the network.” Paul Hansen commented that from a lending perspective, it’s this strength that makes the franchise model so attractive to banks and other lenders.
