This month we are interviewing Mel Fisher from BforB who offer business networking franchise packages.
1.What are the benefits of having a BforB franchise?
There are many benefits in working with BforB.
One of the most attractive to franchise buyers is the fact that BforB is a business that you can build, develop and sell. This criteria of business opportunity is very rare. Many other franchise concepts have no re-saleable value, in franchising when an owner reaches their 5th year in the business the only option is to renew their license or walk away from the brand as opposed to the possibility of a good 50% – 200% Return on Investment at the end of five years.
Added to that is the circle of experts working with you to develop your business, the personal development and the diverse knowledge bank available to your business as and when you need it. BforB as a franchise in itself have the possibility of generating quick return on investment. We have franchisees who recovered their investments from year one of launching their franchise.
The usual NO Stocks, NO Premises and Work from the comfort of your own home enables prospective franchise owners to benefit from quick start up and low operating cost. As an organization, we provide intensive support and up to date marketing and growth strategy. With a range of software systems to run a franchise unit it has never been so simple to run and own a BforB business.
