Looking for an opportunity that offers you equal measures of support and freedom to help you become a thriving business owner? Choosing a franchise opportunity will give you the chance to launch your own business whilst having access to support from a reputable company, with a proven strategy for success.
Starting your own business can be a daunting prospect, but with a supportive franchise culture behind you, you can build positive relationships with other franchisees, improve your work-life balance and transform your life – personally and professionally. Victoria Jennings, founder of baby development franchise Bloom Baby Classes, discusses the benefits of investing in a franchise that encourages this culture among a franchisee network.
No man is an island
As a franchisee, you will have access to practical support on every step of your journey – from operational assistance to career development sessions. You will have the autonomy of running a business whilst having access to additional training and guidance from your franchisor, helping you to flourish in confidence as a business owner as you know you are never alone. Becoming a franchisee also allows you to use skills you already have – removing the frustrations of red tape in a corporate role and allowing you more time to focus on making your business the best it can be.
From invaluable business acumen to over two decades of experience working with children, at Bloom, our franchisees have a whole range of skillsets. Becoming a franchisee is the perfect opportunity to utilise all of your experiences and skills.
Flexibility is the key to stability
As the saying suggests, if you have flexibility in your work life, you are likely to see stable growth in your business. Being able to adapt your business to suit you increases your sense of morale as you expand your business, helping you to stick to business strategies and keep motivated to ensure your brand flourishes. Feel like you are stuck in a rut or missing out on vital family time because of your current job? Franchising offers a better work-life balance thanks to the flexible working hours and remote working opportunities. Whilst you are responsible for fulfilling your franchise agreement and helping your business to thrive in any way you can, as a franchisee, you get to live the life you want to – without having to stick to the limiting 9-5.
A supportive culture means focusing on the franchisee as a person, as well as a business. At Bloom, we believe achieving a suitable work-life balance is crucial, preventing even the most motivated franchisees from feeling depleted or resentful. Encouraging franchisees to establish this balance is essential to their physical and mental health, as well as their business. With a business that works around an individual, overall engagement, quality and retention are improved.
Distinguished from day one
As a new franchisee, your confidence will skyrocket as you will already have a whole host of people who believe in you and the brand. With a reputable brand name already established and a proven business model in place, you won’t need to build your business from the ground up – meaning you are set up to succeed from the start. The success of your chosen franchise will give you a sense of security as you know the business model works – meaning you can focus on helping your business to flourish.
Unlike starting a business on your own, as a franchisee, you will spend less time worrying about the admin and financial stresses giving you the freedom to focus on your professional and personal growth. Investing in a franchise that aligns with your personal goals and values means you will interact with other likeminded people, in a culture that motivates and inspires you. With the inevitable ups and downs of running a business, strong, organisation-wide values create a sense of community and can help boost morale.
