You call the shots W
hen life feels chaotic and uncertain, it can help to consider
those things we can change and to let go of worries over those we cannot. In fact, realising there’s actually very little you’re in total control of can be quite liberating - as the song goes: “Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be”. All that said, you might not
want to maintain such a laissez- faire approach when it comes to building your own business! It's a good thing, therefore, that with a franchise, you can be very much in the driving seat. As a franchisee you
may be able to determine where you work, when and for how long. These are
all the factors to take into consideration when it comes to researching the franchise what will suit you the most. For two franchisees, over
on page 15, the flexibility of the franchise model, and the way it affords a greater work-life balance and time with family, made the decision to launch their own businesses an obvious route. Plus, if having more control
over outcomes holds appeal for you, it's worth knowing that investing in a franchise is also much lower risk than going it alone. Latest research from the British Franchise Association reveals that franchising boasts a 92% survival rate after four years of trading, compared to just 47% for an independent start-up.
Not only does being your
own boss means you can call the shots, but there’s also the fact that you are following a tried-and-tested model and you’re never alone with the support of your brand and the wider franchisee network alongside you. There's something you are definitely, one hundred percent in control of right now, of course, and that's taking the first steps to becoming a business owner! So dive inside and find the
perfect business opportunity for you. Go to page 10 for a preview of upcoming National Franchise Exhibition at Birmingham, NEC, ( 2 & 3 October) and be sure to register for your free tickets at
