If you are toying with the idea of starting your own business you may well have considered a franchise opportunity in the UK. The benefit to a franchise is that the business is usually ready made and branded. What this means is that you are launching with an instantly recognisable product or brand, one that people know and trust. The downside to this is that many franchises cost several thousand pounds upfront. As well as upfront costs there are often ongoing marketing and royalty fees to pay back to the company.
Ideally most people would like to start their own business. However we all know that starting a business is a tough road to travel. There is support available yet this is usually costly, not just that you have to have true faith in your support mentor. Going it alone is also fraught with risks and you could loose it all to inexperience. Franchise opportunities surface again as the prime route to financial security.
It is usually fair to rule out lottery wins and grand inheritance from a long lost relative. It can get you down to think that the job you are doing now you will be doing until you retire, or longer. Everyone knows you dont get rich working for someone else. Thats why we all strive to be our own boss or to have our own franchise opportunity.
I took another look around. I knew there had to be franchises in the UK that were available to people like me with barely any capital that wanted to get out of the rat race, spend time with my family. Something that paid well for the effort I put in, something that would not take up my entire life. Something that was simple (like me).
The opportunity I took up was with Telecom Plus, also known as Utility Warehouse or UWDC they offer a fantastic franchise business opportunity in the UK. The company sell utilities such as gas, electricity, home phone, contract mobile phones, pay as you go mobile phones and broadband. The services alone are excellent and in most cases they are cheaper than customers current supplier because of something they call a triple value guarantee, this translates into budget busting prices that aim to be cheaper than the big suppliers like British Gas, e-on, BT, and more on select services.
Utility Warehouse franchisees have an aim to promote services such are the gas, phone and electricity to their friends and family and so on. You then are paid commission for each customer and can earn more money in other ways. You can build your business as quickly or as slowly as you chose. You can also run the entire franchise opportunity for the benefit of your chosen charity
I always say, There is no harm in looking. The link below has a video that will tell you about the offer from Telecom Plus. This has worked for me, and a couple of my friends. Hopefully this could get you off the treadmill.
