With 2018 seeing over £6.9 million in acquired turnover for The Belvoir Franchise Group, we’re in a fantastic position to help you kickstart your new business and often recommend that our new franchisees don’t jump into a ‘cold-start’ (which comes with risks) and instead takes on a business that a proven track record, a healthy balance sheet and established awareness in the area.
We’re in no way saying that we never offer cold-starts, but why go down that route when we can offer an opportunity that comes with much less risk and could see you driving increased profits in the first year.
