If you’ve been thinking about taking that leap into starting your own business venture as a sales and lettings property franchise, you’re probably wondering about the journey; where it begins, and everything else that comes along with the ride. At the Belvoir Group, we’re with you every step of the way throughout your own personal journey, and we recognise that not everyone is in the same starting position. Our franchisees come from a range of backgrounds, with a variety of skills and levels of experience, which is why it’s important for us to get to know you and match you to an opportunity that suits you perfectly. We’ve detailed the property franchise journey below, so you can learn a little more before taking those important next steps.
Discovery Days
Our Discovery Days are where it all begins. Based in our central office in Grantham, you’ll have a personalised one-to-one session which will immerse you in the Belvoir Group and help you to learn what it takes to run a sales and lettings franchise business under Belvoir, Newton Fallowell, Northwood, Lovelle or Nicholas Humphrey’s brands. It’s the initial chance for us to get to know one another a little more, which will enable us to identify suitable opportunities for you, and give you a chance to meet our support teams.
Support
The support we offer our franchisees is unparalleled, and it’s something we pride ourselves on. From the start of your journey with us, we’ll match you with one of our Business Development Mentors (BDM), who will always be available for guidance and support, wherever you are on your franchisee journey. They will work closely with you as you grow your business, and help your business to thrive.
Throughout your entire journey with the Belvoir Group, our central support team is on-hand to help you. Whether that be with business development, legal support, franchise recruitment, IT, finance, assisted acquisitions, marketing, leadership or audit and compliance. You’re never alone in your quest, and we’re always by your side.
But it’s not just our word, it’s our franchisees too. Jason Treadwell, of Newton Fallowell, said: “The support of head office allows you to do the day-to-day running of your estate agency.” in his interview about an insight into life as a Newton Fallowell franchisee.
Research
Along with our continuous support, we also give you the tools necessary for you to conduct your own thorough market research. Spending time with your Business Development Mentor, together you will ensure that your knowledge is robust and that you can set realistic predictions for your business. With this bigger picture, you’ll have those first steps and foundations for your marketing plan.
Acceptance
By the time of coming toward acceptance, you will have a solid understanding of the marketplace and the potential of your franchise opportunity with the Belvoir Group. Our central support teams will have assisted you with your business plan, financial forecast and ensured that funding is in place. By now, you’ll have also identified the premises, and have a plan for the refit if required. Finally, your plans go to the central office for approval, and you can be formally welcomed into the Belvoir Group fold.
Training
It doesn’t just stop there, we know that the industry is ever changing, and starting a business has its challenges. We’re here to help you become equipped with the tools you need to overcome any obstacles in your way. We want you to have the training and support that allows you to take your sales and lettings franchise from triumph to triumph.
Initially, we offer a four-week training course that will reinforce how the Belvoir Group brands operate, and help you find ways to stand out from your competitors. From there on, we offer regular training sessions at our central office in Grantham, to ensure that you’re ahead of the curve, allowing your business to go from strength to strength in your franchisee journey.
