PROFIT FROM THE ANSWERS TO YOUR DREAM FUTURE

 

Franchising: ask the right questions and you should be on the road to success in your venture, advises Michael Весket.

Franchise operators seem to have a simple approach when it comes to recruiting - "Don't worry about what sort of work we're doing, just roll up your sleeves and gel down to it." Potential franchisees glancing through magazine advertisements could struggle to find out what line of business they are chasing because the wording is so vague.

It all seems to be a seller's market. Certainly the sector's profile - there are almost 680 franchise systems, operating in the UK - suggests business is booming. Figures released in the run-up to this week's Franchise Exhibition at the Wembley exhibition and conference centre show the industry is producing a turnover of £9 ½ billion a year and providing more than 326.000 jobs.

The initial start-up cost is now averaging £59,200 and the typical franchise is generating a turnover of almost £300,000 a year while 91% of franchises say they are making money.

It is impressive, but most of the large and reputable franchise operations complain they arc suffering from a shortage of "suitable applicants". More than 40% of franchisors say the biggest barrier to growth is a lack of franchisees they feel will make the grade.

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

 

In America and Britain the latest boom industry is nostalgia. Everywhere we look we seem to see businesses popping up that help us relive our past. The fashion and music industries are at the forefront with platform shoes and disco music making amazing comebacks. Remembering days gone by bring back memories of old school friends and we naturally wonder where they arc and what they are doing. It was thoughts such as these that Julie Pankhurst had when she was expecting her first child. Amber. Julie started wondering what her old school mates were up to and if any of them had started a family. She came up with an idea to create a website to help people contact old friends. Julie had a background in computer programming and felt creating the website would also keep her busy during her pregnancy. "What resulted was an unexpected multimillion pound online success story called Friends Reunited.

Julie's husband Steve, who was a computer consultant at the time, helped her develop the site. It was based on a simple database system which listed every school in the country. All you had to do was register first and then you could read the message boards and look up people from your old school. Friends Reunited went online in July 2000 and in the beginning had about 20 registrations a day. In January, Friends Reunited was featured on Steve Wright's radio show as Site of the Day. Within six months, half a million people had registered. Up until then the site had been free, but Steve and Julie began charging £5 to offset administration costs. Membership registration reached one million two months later, and today, Friends Reunited is one of the top 10 visited sites in Great Britain.
