It can be a lucrative opportunity for entrepreneurs. With the growing demand for specialist services across all sectors, business services franchises offer attractive income potential. However, success depends on a number of factors, such as the quality of the services offered, the ability to build strong customer relationships and effective cost management.
A business services franchise works on the basis of close collaboration between the franchisor and the franchisees, in the form of a franchise agreement. The franchisor provides the entrepreneur with access to proven know-how, systems, processes and tools, as well as an established brand and ongoing support. Franchisees use these resources to provide high-quality support to businesses in their region, in line with the standards and practices set by the franchisor.
