Getting ready to celebrate 20 years as a Business Partnership franchisee
Since October 2000 Greg Towers has been a Business Partnership franchisee covering South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire. Greg is married to Beverley who works alongside him in the business.
What did you do before franchising?
Since leaving school I’ve done a lot of different jobs. I worked at a cycle shop as a sales and workshop manager, was facilities manager for Norwich Union, then a field sales rep for a number of different manufacturing companies.
What drew you to franchising and this brand in particular?
I had often thought about the possibility of becoming my own boss but had never hit on that one golden idea that I could run with. I came very close to accepting a different franchise before joining Business Partnership. I’m so glad I didn’t choose the alternative as I’d have been under a lot of pressure, which didn’t appeal to me.
What were your first years like?
One I had undergone the initial training, I was out valuing businesses immediately and took my first instruction in my first week of trading. It took me about eight months to bet my territory up and running properly, becoming established in my locality. My wife Beverly joined me after a couple of years and we are equal partners in the business.
What is the ongoing support like?
The support network is excellent. There are twice yearly meetings for all franchisees and support is readily available all year round. The senior partners are always there is you need help and if there are any urgent changes in legislation or our systems, webinars are used for additional training.
In what way has your life changed?
The benefits of being in Business Partnership are the flexibility, excellent income potential and the opportunity to manage your own business without any undue influence. As long as you are operating legally, ethically and responsibly, you aren’t put under any pressure by the master franchise. You get the fresh air to allow you to grow and thrive, but it will only be as good as you are.
Describe a typical day
We sell every type of business from small retail businesses such as sandwich shops, cafes, gift shops and hair salons etc right up to larger concerns worth £1 million or more. That makes for interesting days and a variety of work. I can be at a business premises in the morning confirming a valuation and negotiating terms on a deal in the afternoon whilst Beverley is responding to enquiries coming in for our current business sales and updating changes to advertising.
The best part of the business has to be completing on a sale, not only because we get paid, but because you’ve helped your client achieve their goal too.
