Essential skills and attributes required...
Good communication skills
Previous experience of sales or management desirable
Prospective franchisees do not require previous experience of business services.
Much more important are commitment and dynamism, as well as the determination to succeed.
Daily tasks...
Sales and marketing the business in the local community
Serving customers at the centre - over the counter, by phone, fax and e-mail and, also, visiting them at their premises
Ensuring that the centre can provide whatever service or product the customer requires – anything from selling a postage stamp to arranging the shipping of a valuable antique
Managing in-house team
Support and training...
Mail Boxes Etc operates a comprehensive training programme that covers everything a franchisee needs to know to be able to open their own centre. Support continues after the initial training with both field and head office teams dedicated to providing advice and guidance.
There is no other provider of such a myriad of services on the High Street nor one that is able equally to serve businesses and consumers alike. As well as providing a standard range of services, franchisees are encouraged to be innovative and to research ideas that will enable them to provide even more facilities and services for their customers.
Financial Investment...
Typically, the investment for a Mail Boxes Etc centre is around £85,000, of which up to about 70 per cent can usually be financed by one of the leading banks, all of whom have excellent working relationships with MBE. In addition, a working capital provision will be necessary and this is normally in the range of £10,000 to £20,000.
FINANCE AVAILABLE We often include opportunities that are above your selected amount of capital as up to 70% borrowings are usually available from banks for those considering investing in a franchise opportunity.
