FRANCHISEFOCUS IN V ESTMENT: FROM £4,995 Invest in yourself Join a winning team with Ovenu T


here’s a fair chance that you’re only ever going to invest in a franchise once during your lifetime so it’s


important to do so wisely. Ultimately, you’ll aim to make a good


living, gain a sensible work-life balance and then look to sell the goodwill of the business later down the line. It’s vital, therefore, to get everything right. And you need to see that any business


you’re considering investing in already has an established trading history – along with some cash in the bank. A decent trading history (around 10-plus years) demonstrates dedication to the franchisee network and suggests that the sector that they trade in has a prosperous future. The Ovenu franchise opportunity


has grown from strength to strength over the past 24 years throughout the UK and Australia, so it’s fair to say that the business has been extremely well tried and rigorously tested. Rik Hellewell, Ovenu’s managing director,


confirms: “It’s because we’re continually trying and testing things that we’re always at the forefront of our sector. We’ve always been able to invest well into research and development as we practice what we preach; make profit and re-invest back into the business. It’s also sensible to use resources


like companycheck.co.uk to see if your prospective franchisor has any ready cash since in the modern business landscape it pays to align yourself to a brand that has the financial stability and ability to be nimble-footed if and when changes are required. Franchisors with little or no cash reserves simply won’t be able to react. While to some readers, oven cleaning


might not seem to offer too many challenges but it’s the provision of the finest cleaning products and equipment, along with the best training for cleaning ovens to the highest standards possible, at which Ovenu excels. And this is only one half of the Ovenu franchise opportunity. The other is that the brand works closely with its franchisees in training

and supporting them in building and growing a profitable business. As an Ovenu franchisee you have access to support systems in place that are, as Rik says: “100 per cent all about you.” “We’re here to offer help and support


to you at all of the stages of your franchise development; through induction training, putting together a strategic marketing plan, getting those first sales leads through, issuing your first invoice and seeing the rewards in your bank!” “The next logical step within the service


industry sector is to make it easy for your customers to tell other people how good you are and how great your service is.” “A quick peep at our consumer-facing


website (ovenu.co.uk) will show prospective customers over 20,000 reviews and testimonials on the TRUSTist review platform. We’ve provided easy ways for our franchisees to gather customer comments for years and now we’ve had them all aggregated and displayed in one place.” “This five-star Rating and the 20,000 volume are both things that we’re hugely


proud of and something that you too could trade on the back of – after all, people like to deal with successful local businesses that are held in high regard.” Rik concludes: “It’s rewarding for


us to see our franchisees doing well as they follow out tried-and-tested systems. There’s nothing better for us than to see a smiling face of a franchisee that once had a furrowed brow before we decided to work together.” Franchisees over the years have come


from a variety of interesting and diverse backgrounds so maybe you’ve got what Ovenu is looking for and could be a good fit to join them? l
