With onboarding more than 70 franchisees since 2012, we’ve seen and heard it all. Now having a $3-4M revenue stream across the franchise network, our tried and tested business model deliver results and help our franchisees achieve the work-life balance they deserve!
When starting a business, you may find yourself at a crossroads. Do you start a business from the ground up, or join a franchise and have the backing of an established business from the get-go? Both options are appealing and have their upsides and downsides depending on what you value your experience and your long-term goals.
Let’s break down how franchising, and Shoebox specifically can benefit you.
A franchise is a business model in which an established business owner, known as a franchisor, provides a pre-developed way of doing business. In this joint venture, the franchisor (that’s us) sells the rights to use their company name to an independent operator, the franchisee (this means you).
THE FOUR KEY BENEFITS TO OWNING A SHOEBOX FRANCHISE
1. Freedom and Flexibility
One of the biggest misconceptions about a franchise is losing all freedom. While being a part of Shoebox Books and Tax means you have agreed to follow the franchise way of running, which is primarily there to help you succeed, a Shoebox business owner can still be capable of making most decisions on how they want to run their business – with our full support.
As a Shoebox franchisee, you have freer reign over your life, your schedule and where you work from (our franchises are WFH), which makes it an ideal work arrangement for those who enjoy travelling or a regular change of scenery besides the office.
2. Receive Ongoing Support & Guidance
Setting up your own business can be daunting, stressful and require some risk, even if it isn’t your first time. But with the help of a franchise that aligns with your preferences you can have access to a proven business plan, and support including the entire Shoebox network, suppliers, admin, insurance, finance and marketing advice.
Ps. This support is 100% ongoing, from your first day with Shoebox!
3. Lower Risk of Business Failure
Ultimately it narrows down to the level of support and backing you have from our team, who is an established group of professionals offering their guidance and support. The security a Shoebox franchise offers is a trusted business model, a wide network, available suppliers and trusted advice that the bookkeeping and/or tax services you’re providing are in demand.
4. Established and Known Brand Awareness
Establishing a loyal customer base is one of the biggest challenges for start-up companies. Especially if you’re new to the business world and lack experience in how to connect with your customers and stand out from your industry competitors.
You’ll also have a smoother time breaking into the market with a franchise that already has recognition, brand awareness and customer base… which Shoebox has developed since opening our doors in 2007. Not only will this save you time, energy, and money in your marketing efforts, but you’re also more likely to see leads and enquiries earlier in your business journey.
