Creating a business franchise opportunity with Strategy Consulting

We have the specialist staff that are experienced in providing guidance and advice for starting up in business. Our staff possess a strong awareness of the variety of Franchise opportunities on offer in the United Kingdom. Whether you are a Franchisor or a potential Franchisee, we can help.

Why Choose a Franchise opportunity?

Starting a new business always carries risks.
You don't have to come up with a new business idea.
There are franchise opportunities within almost every type of business.
Taking up a franchise opportunity should reduce business risks.
A Franchisee uses a proven and well established business model.
Following the payment of an initial fee, the Franchisor allows the Franchisee to trade under the Franchise name and sell products or services within a mutually agreed business area.
Training and ongoing support are provided by the Franchisor to ensure the best possible chance of success for your franchise opportunity.

Advantages of taking up a Franchise

Immediately upon set up, you can trade under a well established and recognisable business name.
The Franchisor will provide you with the appropriate level of training and product knowledge to ensure the success of your new business.
The Franchisor has often ongoing national advertising campaigns.
Goods are sourced and supplied by the Franchisor at agreed cost prices.

Advantages of franchising your business

Franchising is a popular and successful way to expand your business.
The expansion of your business can be managed using the capital of your Franchisees, without the need to borrow heavily.
A carefully planned franchise recruitment programme should maintain a growth schedule for you with a minimum of capital outlay.
Sales turnover, customer satisfaction, and loyalty, should be higher because your Franchisees will have invested their own money into the business.
Income is directly relative to the success of your Franchisees.
You can obtain the benefit of local marketing knowledge and business contacts from your Franchisees.
You have less exposure to the normal day to day problems of a conventional business, such as the personnel issues of recruiting and retaining of staff.
