Press release date: 19-Mar-2007
Oscars Pet Foods have Select Your Franchise Ltd to thank for the latest addition to their successful franchise network. Bernard Flynn (pictured below) used a variety of media to research the concept of franchising, but it was through selectyourfranchise.com that he finally found the franchise he was confident to invest his future in.
Bernard says; “I looked at a number of different types of franchises, and requested brochures and information. I found selectyourfranchise.com helpful, as it gave a feel to the way the Oscar Franchise was managed. Oscar responded quickly and followed it up with a phone call which lead me to embark on the next stage…”
Franchising; A Formula for Success…
Franchising is a great way to utilise your own skills with the support of experienced people behind you. This was one of the aspects of franchising that most appealed to Bernard; “I was looking for a business that I could develop using my skill base, which had developed over 30 years as an accountant and finance director. I was concerned about being ‘alone’ when as an employed person, there is always a colleague to talk to. I was therefore interested in having some back up from a franchisor that I felt would support and help, especially in the early days of the new business..”
A Positive Move…
Bernard and the many others who choose to franchise after a long successful career in another sector are testament to the positives of a complete career change; “I got the opportunity for early retirement and with the proposed change in rules on pensions and age of retirement, took the opportunity to retire as soon as possible. I also felt that I was still young enough to put in the energy and commitment to start a new business. The drive to succeed still exists, but the benefits and potential are 100% mine.”
The Future…
Bernard takes a considered approach on the future of his franchise: “I initially want to get to the point where I am covering costs with income on a monthly basis. It feels important to take small steps, and focus on achieving even small successes, so that you don’t get frustrated. However always bear in mind that what you invest now might make dividends some months in the future, so an eye on the big picture is equally important..”
He continues; “In the future I would like the business to be profitable and to grow and extend the area in which I operate. Oscar helps you do this, by allowing an increase in your franchise area as you grow.” It is his clear thinking and pragmatic style that will help Bernard make a real success story of his franchise. Select Your Franchise wishes Bernard the best of luck for 2007 and beyond…
