Want more from your business? Franchise clinic

Creative marketing agency and business support service provider TWA are providing a fantastic and FREE opportunity to anyone considering franchising their business.

Over recent months, unemployment figures have been at an all-time high. With companies making cut-backs, there are thousands of professional, experienced and qualified individuals facing redundancy. Too young to retire and struggling to find a new job, more people than ever are looking to start their own enterprise - and with redundancy money in their pocket, franchising is proving hugely popular as a lower-risk way of running a successful business.

Ed Thomas of TWA says: "For the owners of successful businesses, this presents the ideal opportunity to expand and generate more profit, without having to invest, work long hours or employ more staff. Having franchised my own business, I know that it can be extremely rewarding."

TWA have joined forces with a team of franchise specialists to offer a FREE clinic at the South Wilts EXPO. Able to advise on all aspects of franchise development, licensing, sales and marketing, training and other aspects of business development and support, TWA will offer advice and information by appointment on the day.

TWA's franchising expert John Lee adds: "If you've worked hard to create a company with a good reputation, you have the raw materials to show someone else how they could replicate your model elsewhere, enforcing your brand and expanding your enterprise, without requiring huge investments and long working hours.

"For anyone wishing to come along and see us for a free consultation at the EXPO, we will provide the guidance you need to consider the next step for your company. And for those wishing to pursue their options, we can help every step of the way."

For more information or to book your appointment, call John Lee on 01264 355 846 or email john.lee@tw-a.com to book your slot on the 27th September.
