“Investing in The Alternative Board franchise really was worthwhile, rather than just starting a business by myself”

All these members have invested in The Alternative Board's robust, proven business model. Could this be what you’re looking for too?

Helen Mill, TAB franchisee in Aberdeen
“It was the people who drew me to TAB. Having joined, they’ve not disappointed me. I’ve seen how proactive both the TAB team and my fellow franchisees are. It’s not just a question of having a group of people who will come and help when you’re in trouble – it’s about keeping one step ahead of the game, looking ahead, and constantly innovating. That proves to me that it’s a high calibre community.”

Elliot Rich, TAB franchisee in York
“TAB very much shares my values – they’re a very warm, genuine and welcoming group of people. The business that I’ve started helps me to achieve a lot of my personal goals. I won’t say it’s always been easy, but I’ve taken back control of my life and the rewards have certainly been worth it.”

David Abbott, TAB franchisee in Thames Valley West
“Now I’m with TAB as opposed to being on my own, I’m running a business along with a bunch of other people. I really like what TAB does, I like the services we deliver, but the most important thing for me is the TAB community – the people.”

Tom Morton, TAB franchisee in Harrogate
“The experience of being a partner at a major accountancy firm gave me the impetus to run my own business and to help people; TAB gave me the chance to prove to myself that I could do it. It’s been challenging, but it’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I like that I can work when it suits me.”

Jo Croft, TAB franchisee in T hames Valley East
“Head office is supporting us in the background, working on some of the marketing and IT. They provide a lot of training for us, which is obviously very helpful. All of these factors led me to the decision that investing in a franchise really was worthwhile, rather than just starting a business by myself.”
