What are the benefits of joining a franchise?
Opening a Mail Boxes Etc. post, parcel and print centre
offers you the chance to be part of one of the world’s largest non-food retail
franchises. This global reach makes ours a widely recognised brand with a
1,600-strong growing network and more than 150 stores in the UK and Ireland.
But what are the benefits to you in becoming a franchisee?
1.
Brand recognition
An independent business owner has less chance of success
than one who is affiliated with a well-known company that already successful.
Franchises allow new business owners to use the benefit of an established brand
and credible name to greatly improve their chances of success and have a more
lucrative business.
2.
Large customer
base
Because they are already established, many franchises have a
large customer base in place. This means when you join the franchise you have
immediate demand, which is important to a business in all stages – and
certainly when starting up. This way you can spend more time delivering a great
service and experience, rather than trying to find customers.
3. Ready-made business plans
Having a ready-made business plan allows business owners to
jump right in and to skip over the most time-consuming parts of starting a
business, such as planning and site development. Taking on a franchise means
this is already done for you and is proven to work with great results.
4. Fully developed training programmes
With a franchise, policies and culture have already been
adapted and changed over years of practice to create the right business model.
This means that right from the start all employees will know exactly what to do,
as they have all received the same training that is proven to work for the
industry or product.
5. Franchise financing systems
Stock orders and choosing necessary equipment won’t be a
guessing game at the start of the journey with a franchise. All the equipment
can be purchased through brand-friendly service providers and banking providers
recommended and pre-approved by the franchisor, removing the guesswork and
stress.
If these benefits interest you, we’re looking for aspiring
entrepreneurs to join us, and we will give you all the training, set-up
support, award-winning marketing campaigns and operational back-up you need to
help you drive your local sales activity.
