Franchising

At eBusiness UK we owe much of our success to the long standing, close professional relationships we enjoy with our clients – because over the last 10 years we have helped them to grow their businesses. The results speak for themselves and our clients back us up too.

If you’re in the process of looking for a challenging franchise opportunity, then you will, no doubt have come across a number of ‘online solution providers’ in your search. The differences between their offering and ours may not be immediately evident at first glance; but they are there, and will mean the difference between you choosing to buy an off the shelf package franchise or your own business.

We were not only the first company in our unique market place to be granted British Franchise Association accreditation; we can confidently say that we are still the only company to have that accolade.

 So what makes our offering so unique?

1. We Offer Real Online Solutions
   ‘Online solutions’ is a phrase that’s bandied about a lot these days. The majority of these ‘online solutions’ are in fact off the shelf packaged products, that either claim ‘one size fits all’ or meet some, but not all of a businesses growing needs. The alternative for a really bespoke ‘online solution’, is often viewed by SME’s as out of their reach in terms of cost, and are in general they are right.
   
   This is where eBusiness UK differs. Our mature, proven technology is at the heart of any online project we undertake. Our pioneering use of off shore partners means we have access to some of the best developers and technical expertise in the business and we also own our technologies outright so can provide them to our clients at highly competitive rates.
    
2. We Meet The Needs Of Clients
   Every business we work with has its own definition of success, which means that our approach must have flexibility at its heart. We manage this complexity by working strategically with clients to understand what their business needs to do and why, before designing and implementing an online solution which delivers that unique definition of success. Most competitors don’t do this. They start from the premise of having products to sell rather than needs to meet.
    
3. We are an SME
   We have spent the last 10 years working at the sharp end, developing online solutions for growing businesses and have enjoyed substantial year on year growth during that time. Our secret is simple but surprisingly unique – we bend over backward to ensure that our solutions meet the needs of our clients. With a 90% client retention rate and 95% of our business coming through client recommendation, we deliver outstanding customer service, matched with rapid, consistent and measurable results, which is why clients stay with us so long. They come back for more, creating healthy streams of residual income.
   
   We came across a key fact when planning our own development. That people buy predominantly from their local area. We have a business model that works on that very principle and we chose to franchise that blue print so that SME companies outside our local area could benefit from our unique approach to online solutions.
    
4. Award Winning
   We constantly strive to be different and better than anyone else out there and this has been reflected in the accolades and awards we have won for our work. We were crowned Lancashire’s ‘Top IT & Digital Media Company’, in 2007, followed by the coveted Big Chip 10 award for ‘Best Use Of Search’ in 2008. Using our nationwide network of local directors we are embarking on an ambitious plan to become the first, award winning, nationally recognised brand in our marketplace.
    
5. People
   We understand that in order to be the best we have to have the best people working with us, and we select them carefully; choosing them for their excellence in their chosen field and most importantly for their unwavering positive attitude. All our people are blessed with natural enthusiasm and drive and clients and suppliers alike enjoy working with us, not just because we know what we’re doing, but because we are excited about doing it.
   
   Could you be one of those people?

 Frequently Asked Questions…

1. What does it cost?
   Always the most frequently asked question! At the moment you could secure your own territory with full set up support and training for a reduced cost, giving you the opportunity to build a successful, high earning business. Buy in now, at this next phase of our development, because in 2010, the cost will increase substantially. Over half of these opportunities have already been taken by successful entrepreneurs who are taking eBusiness UK to the next level in central Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bolton, Leeds, Harrogate, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
    
2. What is the potential of my territory?
   The potential of your territory is massive – there is no-one else out there doing what we do and your area will be within a postcode defined region close to home. The sales projections for the first year are based on achieving a very small market penetration in your chosen area and simple marketing techniques will ensure you generate more business than is expected of you.
    
3. What back up will be provided?
   Before you start you will be mentored by our franchisee development manager to ensure you’re ready to get going as soon as you sign on the dotted line. We offer an intensive 2 week training programme to all new partners, covering all elements of product knowledge, sales, marketing and business development. As you gather momentum, we support you fully by helping you create your sales proposals and provide you with ongoing monthly marketing support. Oh and we do the technical bit for you too.
    
4. How do I know this is for me?
   If you can honestly say, hand on heart that you tick all the boxes for the personal profile, then there is no reason why you wouldn’t be a great success at this. The sales targets are realistic, we have proven that the model works and there are thousands of businesses out there waiting for our solutions.
