You chose mostly A’s - Set up your own company
You know the industry like the back of your hand. Why wouldn’t you? You’ve worked in it for years, but always for other people. So now you’ve got the advantage, you’ve seen where others have failed and figured out where they went wrong. You’ve got the vision and the courage to bring in new skills, new techniques, and new talent to make your business stand on its own two legs.
You’ve got the contacts, you’re highly skilled, extremely experienced and - most importantly - you’re passionate about your industry.
So now it’s time to take control and strike out on your own.

You chose mostly B’s - Retrain into a new career
Working 9-5, Monday to Friday, doesn’t suit you. The corporate uniform you force yourself into everyday doesn’t fit, it never has. The black heels are too high and the Windsor knot is too tight.
And somewhere, somewhere in the back of the wardrobe, underneath the stairs, tucked away in the attic or rusting in the garage is your passion - your hobby. That secret ‘what-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up’ item that gets dusted off once a year before being, regretfully, stowed away once more.
Now is the time. Now is the time to leave the 9-5 behind and and to put that hobby into practice.
Teach or heal, write or play, code or counsel, design or build - there is no time like the present to retrain into the career you wish you’d always had.

The Results
You chose mostly C’s - Become a franchisee
You have the will but not the way. You have the capital but not the time. You have the gumption but need security. You are the perfect candidate to own a franchise.
You want to get to where you’re going, and see the results, as quickly as possible. You don’t have time to waste retraining, nor the entrepreneurial impulse to start a business from scratch. The idea of working independently but with a helping hand readily available for advice and training sounds both logical and ideal.
Buying into a proven franchise can launch you on the road to independent working without the usual risks. With established systems, defined structures and an already visible brand, a successful franchise offers franchisees the opportunity to work to their own timescale to their own schedule, to put in as much or as little time as they want, and enjoy an uncapped earning potential.

So, let’s get this show on the road.
Set your own hours, set your own rates, and find out exactly what your expertise is worth.
