Reasons to join our
Franchise
 | Become Part of a Larger
Team
Quite simply, franchising is about being in business for yourself,
not by yourself. As a franchisee you become part of a tried and
tested business model and do not need to worry about creating the
brand, the systems, marketing campaigns and operating approach on
your own – these are already established to ensure you can
start trading quickly and effectively.
Increase Your Chances of Success
Experienced franchisors such as the Local Services Network offer
comprehensive training programmes in both technical and business
skills to maximize the franchisees chances of
success. Research by NatWest and the British
Franchise Association (BFA) concluded that 93% of all franchises
were profitable after two years compared to the extraordinary fact
that four in five non-franchise businesses fail within two
years. |
Benefit from an Established
Reputation
By operating a franchise you instantly benefit from an already
established great reputation that has taken many years to create
and establish in the marketplace. Although you run your own
business; you are part of a much larger organization.
Research conducted by the BFA concluded that given the choice,
twice as many customers would prefer to use a franchised outlet
over a non-franchised outlet.
Obtain Continued Support
Larger, well-established franchise operations such as the Local
Services Network have National advertising campaigns and a solid
trading name that work for the benefit of the franchisee.
Furthermore, franchisors such as the Local Services Network employ
staff to support the franchisee’s business, such as call
handlers, marketing specialists and business support
professionals.
Could YOU be a Successful
Franchisee?
While a franchisees background or existing skills may be useful,
quite simply, attitude is the best predictor of franchisee success.
An experienced electrician can be operational in their area within
one week of becoming a franchisee. For someone without any previous
electrical qualifications it generally takes 7 weeks to become
operational and a further 4 to 6 months to obtain higher level
qualifications, which we encourage. We can confidently train
all the skills required to run a business successfully, but it is
difficult to train attitude.
We are committed to making the franchise relationship a success and
if you can answer yes to the following, we believe you will have a
good chance of becoming another successful Local
Services Network franchisee.
