Taking control

Martin Shuker of Agency Express (Lancaster) says: “After being made redundant for the third time in one year, I needed to take control of my own destiny.

“Building a business from scratch is both terrifying and rewarding in equal measures, but the benefit of being part of a franchise is that you’re always supported and it’s tried and tested.

“Everyone at Agency Express is always there with advice and guidance. I’ve now owned my franchise for seven years. It’s taken hard work and commitment to get where I am, so I never take for granted that I own my business, but I’m in control of my future and not having the fear of redundancy is a great feeling.”

With Agency Express, franchisees can rest assured that they will receive exceptional ongoing support. Each franchisee is guided through every aspect of their business and has access to daily accounts and operational support, giving them the knowledge and confidence to become successful business owners.

Open communication

Alex Sunjich of Agency Express (Falkirk) says: “Starting your own business is rewarding, but how much effort you put in will determine what you get out.

“I’ve learnt that the key is keeping communications open and to not be afraid to ask for help. That’s the benefit of buying a franchise - you have unlimited ongoing support when you need it. The part I enjoy most about owning a business is I control my hours and work for myself. There is no limit on how far I can take the business.”

If you’re considering franchising and would like the reassurance of a proven business model, the Agency Express opportunity could be a perfect match for you. With Agency Express, no previous experience or qualifications are required, just self motivation and a willingness to succeed.
