I agree that its much easier to start to work for yourself with a franchise. Its a huge step going from a salary to having your own business. A franchise gives you all the benefits without the fear of the unknown.
I’ve just taken on 2 new franchisees and its incredible how much information I’ve learned over the past few years which I can just pass on in a few hours!

Thanks Libby, it’s good to have the point of view of the franchiser. Starting a business is a huge learning curve, so it must be good to be able to learn it all from someone who has been there and done that.
