Why the Right Support is Key to Franchise Success

Ben Ashton, Co-Founder of GoodOaks Franchising, explains why having the right support is essential to starting your own business. Ben established GoodOaks in 2011, with business partner, Darius Mitkus.

Support framework

When we established our franchising business, we built a very personal support framework. We wanted to incorporate all the elements that would have helped us to grow more rapidly, whilst ensuring that growth is sustainable for the business.

Support in the early days

In those early days, you can’t help but feel that you are constantly reacting to situations. I still remember the feeling of not being sure what to do next and what to focus on. GoodOaks Franchising has been built to be that source of advice.

We offer support with business planning, applications for finance, marketing activity, support with hiring the right people, IT software: every aspect of starting a business. We offer support with navigating the obstacles that come hand in hand with having your own business.

The support available is one of the biggest advantages to starting a franchise. It allows you to start a business with the piece of mind that you are not alone. It gives you the confidence in the skills you bring to your franchise, knowing that you’ll be supported in developing any additional skills you need.

Design your life

Creating a franchise means taking complete control of your working life and designing it to fit around you. We meet lots of franchise partners who have worked very hard for many years and are looking for a better work/life balance. Of course, setting up your own business is hard work, but you’re working for yourself and you reap the rewards.

Creating a business to be proud of

As business owners ourselves, we completely understand the value of the investment that you are making. Both financial and the investment in time that you are making. We’re here to do everything in our power to help you succeed and grow your business.
