Why invest in a franchise?

If you are a proven HR professional who is looking to transition from corporate to consulting, you are in the right place. Working as part of something bigger, with other Franchise Partners to liaise with is so valuable. The long-term effects of covid, a growing SME sector and political uncertainty means that the HR consulting industry is more in demand than ever before. There is plenty of work out there for talented HR specialists. Not only that, but franchising with ourHRpeople offers an unrivalled ROI on your investment.

According to the NatWest Franchise Report 2018, 99% of franchises succeed, compared to 50% of non-franchise start-ups. Turnover generated by franchises has increased by £2.1billion since 2015. In an uncertain economy, franchises are proving their worth.

Franchisees list the benefits of this business model as:

• an excellent ROI
• an established and proven business model
• the initial and ongoing support provided
• having a standardised service
• appearing to be a larger business
• being part of a wider team
• having a sustainable business
• competitive advantage
• reduced risk

Interestingly, we recently had a conversation with the husband of a potential Franchise Partner who had a business MBA. He told us that when studying about ‘How to be an entrepreneur’, the recommendation was to either set up your own business about 3 times before you get it right – or invest in a franchise. After all, the hard work you need to do has already been done and importantly the lessons have already been learned.

A recession proof business

It really is. We’re the proof of that. SMEs make up 99% of all UK businesses – all 5.7 million of them; as HR is an essential part of any business, you can almost guarantee they’ll need your professional services at some time, regardless of the prevailing economic circumstances. What other business opportunity can say that? Change has never been this fast and will never be this slow again. As an ourHRpeople Partner, you’ll be embedded in your client’s businesses and become part of their success stories. ourHRpeople gives HR professionals the opportunity to grow a business and work for themselves whilst partnering with their clients to achieve their potential.
