Pros
As one of the first franchise owners in the UK it was a leap of faith but was a business model which had been very successful in the USA. The model works. It needs hard work and sticking to the proven model, but after 12 years has rewarded me with a good lifestyle and time to do the things I want. The brand is going from strength to strength and has many offices (200) in the UK now. The support from national office is exceptional and their revenues are ploughed back into the brand for continuous development and improvement. The only way to fail in this business is to not follow the model or not put the work in. all the support you need is there.
Cons
The early years do require a lot of dedication and long hours. It is not a get rich quick scheme. Be prepared to put the work in.
