It may seem like starting your own business is a leap in the dark; most people wouldn’t know how to begin. This is where a franchise like Mr. Electric can shine a light on your future.<\/h3>\n

New Year is ideal for taking stock of what matters most to you, and what goals are attainable for the coming year. Could this include a change in direction coupled with a desire to achieve more for yourself? What about actually working for yourself instead of working for somebody else?<\/p>\n

The franchise industry is booming, with an annual turn-over worth over \u00a315bn*, and is proven to offer a secure step into business ownership. For someone looking for a profitable management franchise, offering excellent services to both private and commercial customers.<\/p>\n

So why not just go it alone?<\/h4>\n

Sure, you can work it all out for yourself, but in reality – it is much easier to stand on a strong foundation when running your own business. The franchise brand has done the background work for you, so you’re already starting from pole position. And with the heavyweight of a well-established brand like the Dwyer Group’s Mr. Electric<\/i>, you carry their name when you pitch to new customers.<\/p>\n

Mark Ryland, who started his Mr. Electric<\/i> London South West, in 2012 saw it as clear as daylight, “If I were to walk up to a \u00a3200,000 job as my own company, ‘Mark Ryland Electrical’, I wouldn’t even get looked at. Being a part of a much larger brand and having the strength of that brand behind you, has provided me so many more opportunities which has pushed my business a lot further than if I was working alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the benefit of being part of a franchise network?<\/h4>\n

The benefit of investing in a franchise, not only brings you the heavyweight of the Dwyer Group brand, and the recognised name of Mr. Electric<\/i>, you also have access to the excellent training and ongoing support the franchise offers. Then, there is the sense of belonging to a network of like-minded business owners.<\/p>\n

“If you had a question or problem with your business or a customer, who would you ask for support?” Mark asks. “Who would you call? You can’t call another electrical contractor – they’re your competition! With a franchise, you can ask a neighbouring franchisee or someone who has dealt with a similar problem in the past who will not only be able to support you with anything you need based on their experiences.”<\/p>\n

So, as you wind down 2017, and start to think about what’s left to achieve for the coming year – explore franchising with a Mr. Electric<\/i> management opportunity. Who knows where you could be this time next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
