The results will be announced in a special Awards supplement to the May edition of the Business Franchise Magazine, available in April.
Although the UK is technically out of recession, many companies and public sector organisations are still finding it very tough to pull through the global downturn and few are doing so unscathed. Not only do organisations of every size and in every sector urgently need to manage their costs and minimise unnecessary expenditure, but redundancies mean they often have fewer in-house resources to manage and implement these changes. As a result, these are very busy times for Auditel consultants (more…)

Welcome to our latest intake of new Consultants who joined us for the client acquisition week of their training programme at the end of April. We’ve known Angela and Vicky for a while as their partners are already running Auditel practices and we are delighted they are now joining the Auditel Network as consultants in their own right. Claire is also joining an established and very successful practice which was set up by Steve Ray in 2007. Claire and Steve are old family friends and are running their practice as a limited liability partnership so Steve joined us for a couple of the sessions by way of a refresher. Nick and Bob are also old buddies who will be running their new Auditel business in partnership under a limited company, demonstrating yet another way in which the Auditel business system can be successfully applied to different business models.

If you’ve been watching or listening to the news over the past week or so you can’t have failed to notice that Franchising has become rather fashionable; a ‘good news story’ amid the almost unremitting bleakness of the nightly bulletins. Last weekend’s British Franchise Show at Olympia garnered unprecedented levels of media coverage, including features on BBC Breakfast, Radio Four’s Today programme and Radio 2’s Chris Evan’s programme.

Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March will see members of the Auditel Recruitment and Support Team at London’s Olympia hosting a stand at the British and International Franchise Exhibition. As always at these events, our aim will be to help you carry out that all-important research so as well as answering any specific questions you have about the Auditel opportunity our Business Development Manager, Ed Brewer, will also be presenting an educational seminar called “Being in business for yourself, but not by yourself”.

Enterprise Nation hosts the UK’s largest website for home-based entrepreneurs and as well as providing hundreds of free resources, advising the government on this increasingly important sector of the economy and running the annual Home Business Awards they also produce an annual Home Business Report. The latest of these was published in October 2008 and one of the most surprising results (from their point of view, not ours!) was the number of respondents who started their home business by way of a franchise. (more…)
Starting a new business at a time when every news bulletin seems to presage the end of the economy as we know it might seem slightly mad but entrepreneurs know that crisis and opportunity go hand in hand. Even in the deepest recession, people still need goods and services - there will always be a demand that needs to be met by somebody.
Of course being a successful entrepreneur doesn’t have to mean shouldering all the risk of starting a new business from scratch. It can also mean investing in an existing opportunity - such as a franchise - and maximising all the possible returns, both financial and lifestyle. If you want to get off the corporate treadmill and work for yourself but have concerns about working by yourself this could well be the route for you. If so, you should come along to the Business Start-up Exhibition, which is being held at Olympiaon Friday 28th and Saturday 29th November where our Business Development Manager, Ed Brewer, will be giving a presentation at 12.30pm on exactly this subject. You can also visit us on stand 65 where Ed and other members of the team will be happy to chat to you about franchising in general and the Auditel opportunity in particular.
For more information, or for free tickets call Laura March on 0800 5833355.
