The news in the past few years has been pretty bleak when it comes to property sales, but indicators have recently shown that the property market is beginning to recover. In the UK we are very focused on property ownership and despite the fact that it is harder than ever to get onto the ladder, running your own estate agency franchise is still seen as a solid and sensible business move.
Sales or Lettings?
Many estate agents deal with both sales and lettings of residential properties, but depending on the geographic area where the franchise business is to be set up, one sort of estate agency may be more appropriate than the other. For example, in the city centre of a University town with a high proportion of students, a lettings business would be an ideal business opportunity. In the suburbs, where people tend not to move often, residential sales would probably be more profitable. There is of course nothing to stop a franchisee offering both services, and many combine the two sides of the market into one successful business.
Requirements
There are no specific requirements in terms of qualifications to set up an estate agency business, so many of the skills which are required comes down to personality traits instead. Estate agents are dealing with the general public, solicitors and banks every day, so need to be comfortable with talking to people and being friendly at all times. Organizational skills to juggle several different clients at once are also very important, as is being prepared to work long hours and show clients round properties in the evenings and at weekends. Selling skills also come into play when trying to convince vendors to sign up with your company rather than competing estate agency firms.
Earnings
Estate agencies typically work on a percentage basis, with the exact percentage being charged dependent on several factors. The commission is only paid when the sale is completed, so in order to earn their fees the estate agents have to keep the chain of sellers and buyers from breaking and make sure that the sale goes through smoothly. With lettings, the estate agency franchise keeps a percentage of the rent charged each month by the owner, but in return for their fee the lettings agent has to manage repairs to the properties, inspections and also deal with advertising for new tenants when it becomes vacant.
Benefits
In a property boom, estate agents don't have to work particularly hard to sell properties and can make a good living out of their commission. In a sluggish property market, a franchise owner has to work harder for their commission and this uncertainty over monthly earnings may put some people off the sector completely. Being in the property game has the additional benefit of getting to know lots of different people and gives the franchisee the ability to really get to grips with the marketplace. No two days are the same and it's the ideal career choice for people who flourish under pressure and enjoy the thrill of getting a sale.

It's often said that traditional mail is falling by the wayside as more and more of us switch to using email and text messages to communicate with friends and family. Although this may certainly be true, one sector of the mail market which remains buoyant is parcel deliveries. Previously the preserve of the large multinationals and the Post Office, the parcel delivery market is now more open to competition than ever and many of the smaller companies are growing using a franchise model.
Business Services
There are two aspects to a delivery operation and although many firms offer both, some specialize in one aspect or the other. The first aspect is the firm which deals with small packages which have to be delivered urgently. The employee picks up the parcel and then delivers it directly to the destination address. This service is being used less and less as digital cameras and mobile phones allow for the sharing of documents far more easily than using traditional methods. The more common type of franchise is based around the delivery of parcels which are sorted by central distribution depots.
Commitment
Taking on a courier operation is not something which can be done lightly. Apart from the usual considerations which have to be taken into account such as affordability, competition and personal preference for the franchise type, the courier business is not one for someone who is looking for a simple, part time job. Couriers have to get up early and are out on the road all day, whatever the weather. Many courier companies offer early morning, weekend or evening delivery slots so in the early months when the company is getting off the ground the owner's working week can be extremely lengthy. It's also a fairly lonely occupation as for the bulk of the day the courier drivers are on their own in their van.
Alternatives
If the idea of managing a courier firm appeals but the concept of sitting in a van or day doesn't, there are other similar business franchise models which may be of interest. Companies such as Mail Boxes Etc operate through a traditional high street store with more regular business hours, offering services such as post office boxes for mail, assistance in sending large items overseas, and selling packing materials. These sorts of businesses do particularly well in areas with a large student population. Pack & Send helps small firms pack up items and dispatch them overseas, and there are other specialist firms who offer removal services to businesses.
Taking the Plunge
Once the decision has been taken to get into the delivery business, the potential franchise owner should take some time to think through all of the pros and cons associated with each separate offered opportunity before signing on the dotted lines. Speaking to current franchisees can give a good insight, as can doing lots of researches around what services are offered in your area currently and what the level of competition is like.

Birmingham City Council specifically established the Regeneration service to play a key role in the re-development of the area. With a growing population and an expanding city centre, the future economic and social prosperity of Birmingham relies solely on a carefully coordinated management of all strategic developments in the area.
The prime goal of the Planning and Regeneration service is to make a real and tangible difference to the lives of local people.
During the last few years, the city centre has undergone a renaissance with the development of the new Bullring Shopping Centre and the new Library on Broad Street.
With many other projects in the works, the continued revitalization of the centre of Birmingham will continue to raise the city's profile and its connectivity both nationally and internationally.
The Big City plan for instance is the city's master plan that over the next twenty years, will coordinate the physical, social and economic development of the city centre. The Big City plan is one of the most ambitious city wide development projects to take place anywhere in the UK.
To the east side of the city centre there is a ten-year project called 'Eastside' that will re-generate the area as a cultural and learning hub with a new city park and many opportunities for entrepreneurs to open shops, leisure facilities and business centers'.
With some £88million of government funding, the New Street Gateway will see the redevelopment of New Street Station from a dark and dingy underground station in to a new bright and modern transport hub that will double passenger capacity and add more than 5,000 jobs in the area. The Metro is also being extended to link Snow Hill to New Street Station.
The new Library will share a number of facilities with the Birmingham Rep that will create a unique centre for knowledge, learning and culture.
There are a large number of neighbourhood regeneration projects such as the Longbridge Area Action Plan that will see the creating of over 100 new homes in the area as well as a new shopping centre that should create a further 1,000 local jobs.
Operated by Marketing Birmingham, is Business Birmingham, the city's marketing partnership between the public and private sector. This programme is aiming to make the city a leading global business hub that attracts further investment in the area by showcasing the local talent and the city's strong education base. The partnership is also aiming to promote the attractiveness of the city's location and its strong enterprise culture coupled with the well developed networks in the area that has an exceptional track record for welcoming new businesses in to the area.
In 2010 there were about 14 major investment projects across manufacturing, services and software companies of which the majority of these investments coming from the USA and some from Germany.
Overseas investors are attracted to the area because of the city's strong reputation for its expertise in manufacturing, digital media developments and business services.
Because of the quality of the proposition the city offers, means there will be further investment from investors in Germany and the USA.
With the new economic zones created throughout the city, projections show that a further £1.5billion will be bought in creating some 50,000 new jobs.
By creating the right environment for enterprise, the city has established itself as one of the best places in the country to locate a business.
With six new development zones in the city such as Aston Science Park and the Tyseley Environmental Enterprise District, there are exciting times ahead for the city and with simplified planning regulations for developers and gap funding for new developments and existing spaces, Birmingham is establishing itself on the national and international map.

We Brits love our pets unconditionally, and consider them well and truly as members of the family. Even in a period of austerity when we are cutting back on spending on other bills or luxuries, we are reluctant to deprive our pets. The market has remained buoyant throughout the recession, and therefore buying into this sort of franchise business is one of the most attractive opportunities out there.
Size of Market
Almost half of the UK population owns a pet, and we spend more on our pets than we do on holidays or cosmetics. The animal food market in the UK alone is estimated at £4.3 billion annually, with associated services such as pet accessories, grooming or kenneling being worth millions more. Dogs and cats are still the most popular sort of animal to have at home, with 7 million cats and 7 million dogs in the UK. Small animals such as hamsters, gerbils or rabbits total 1.7 million. It's therefore easy to see what an enormously attractive opportunity the market offers to the entrepreneur.
Business Types
The animal lover is not short of choices when it comes to selecting the type of franchise they want to buy into, as there are a huge number of companies offering different sorts of products and services. Some concentrate on the very basic needs which our furry friends have, such as Kibbles Mill, Oscar Foods or Husse, which all provide food to owners. Other companies focus more on add on services such as Dial-A-Dog-Wash which is a mobile business offering dog owners grooming and bathing in the comfort of their own home, or 101 Friends, which is in the kenneling and temporary accommodation market. The choice of exactly which sort of model is most appropriate will depend on many different issues, not least of which is the owner's individual preferences and interest in a particular type of animals.
Networking
Once the decision about what sort of franchise has been taken, the main difficulty most people have in growing their business is spreading the word about the company and what they are offering. Advertising is one way of doing this, but is not as effective as networking with local groups and getting new clients through personal recommendation. For example, businesses who can deliver specialist food to dog or car owners might work closely with local vets and grooming parlours, or a kennel business might agree with a local pet shop to advertise each other's products and services. Refer a friend schemes, where current customers are offered a discount of free gift for recommending services to friends and family can also work well and are a relatively cheap way of getting the word out there.
Flexibility
Most people set up their own business because they want to be their own boss, and this sort of company offers a great deal of flexibility and autonomy. It's the ideal choice for people who prefer to be out of doors, and those who relate well to fluffy and not so fluffy friends.

The rising price of fuel has done nothing to dent the British love affair with our cars, and recent surveys have put the value of the UK car aftermarket at £21 billion. This figure does not include the sales of new or used vehicles or fuel; just the additional services which we purchase for our cars such as valeting, pressure washing, alloy wheel refurbishment or windscreen repairs. At a time when people are hanging on to their vehicles for longer out of financial necessity, this is a very attractive part of the market to consider getting into.
Types of Opportunity
Most of the models available to someone thinking of getting into the vehicle market are concerned with either repair or cleaning of cars. For example, firms such as Chips Away, Dent Wizard or Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists will go to customers' homes and deal with their chips, dents or scratched wheels on their own driveway. Other companies such as Hometyre or eTyres focus on the supply of tyres to customers who have ordered online. The choice of business franchise will depend on whether the investor wants to be in one fixed place or is happy to travel around to visit their customers. Finance is the other obvious consideration, and the amount of money which the investor has to offer varies hugely depending on how well known and established the parent franchise company is.
Benefits
Leaving the attractive size of the market to one side, there are many other reasons to consider buying into an automotive franchise business. As there are so many vehicles in the UK, entrepreneurs don't have to work hard to find their target market. No technical or specialist knowledge is required in most cases and the business is simple to explain to potential clients. Many businesses are also flexible in terms of time commitment and investors have the choice of running the business themselves or employing a manager or employee to do the leg work for them.
Getting Started
Advertising may be the obvious way of letting customers know about your new company and the services you are offering, but one of the ways which is growing in importance is social media. Facebook and Twitter can be very good ways of communicating with customers and telling them about special offers or promotions, and using social media sites costs very little. Linking up with garages or other companies offering related services is another possibility and a little lateral thinking could inform many thousands of potential customers about your product at very little cost.
Related Opportunities
If an investor would prefer a more traditional type of retail business, most of the large fuel companies operate on a franchise model. The drawbacks to running a fuel station are the long hours, as people expect to be able to buy petrol early in the morning, late at night and all through the weekends. It can be hard work and long hours, but there is also the potential to expand your business empire by opening further fuel stations in the local area.

One of the favorite make-believe games that young children play is managing their own shop, and they can have hours of fun setting up displays and pretending to serve customers. Although we leave the make-believe behind as we grow up, the desire that many of us have to be our own boss and to be in charge of the day to day running of our own company never really changes. One of the best ways of going into business for yourself is to buy into one of the many retail franchise business opportunities on the market.
Types of Retail Outlet
There are a huge number of retail businesses which have expanded using a franchise model. Some of them are household names like Papa John's pizza or Snap-on Tools. There are also many other less well-known companies which offer franchises too. Although it is normally the case that the more well-known and established the company, the more expensive the franchise fees, but this is not necessarily the case when buying into a retail operation. However even the cheaper fees to get started run into the tens of thousands, so buying into this sort of business isn't a decision to be taken lightly.

Once you've decided on the sort of business you want to run, this will very much determine the sort of hours you will be working, how many staff you will need to recruit to assist you, and what other regulations you will have to be aware of. A pizza delivery operation for example will require someone who is up to date with all of the legislation concerning hygiene and food preparation, and who is prepared to work late nights and weekends. A furniture store offers more regular office hours, but may need more specialist knowledge in terms of the manufacture and benefits of the different product ranges.
Getting Help
Running any sort of retail business is never a one-person job, and even if someone has bought into the franchise on their own, they will need managers and staff to help with the day to day operations. Finding the right people can be difficult, especially when they are expected to work early or late shifts. Staff turnover in the retail industry is notoriously high as wages are low and staff members often have little loyalty to their employer. Staff problems can take up a large percentage of a manager's time, and business owners may feel that the ins and outs of organizing rotas doing the wages takes up far more of their time than they had intended.
Benefits
Despite the drawbacks, there are many benefits to running your own retail outlet. There is ample opportunity to expand into neighboring areas if so desired, and if you have managed to secure a great location for your outlet the turnover of the store can be huge. If you have been lucky enough to recruit an experienced and efficient manager, as a franchise owner there is often very little that you have to do on a day to day basis.

One of the fastest growing areas of the franchise market in recent years has been the many local magazine opportunities. There are many different types of franchises available in this sector, and they are particularly popular with people who want to run their own business in conjunction with part time employment elsewhere or with commitments to studying or family.
How It Works
The concept varies from franchisor to franchisor but when buying into this model, the franchisee is getting the rights to publish the magazine in a predefined geographic area. They get the rights to use the core design and templates, but also have considerable flexibility about what sort of stories they wish to feature. Most focus on local issues, events and things to see or do, and are either distributed door to door to every household, or given away at libraries, schools, churches and nurseries.
Work From Home
Although there will be some leg work involved in a these franchises in terms of going to see prospective advertisers and interviewing local figures for articles, most of the work can be done at home. It's therefore a particularly attractive business model for stay at home mothers, students or recently retired people as well as for people who hold down a part time job elsewhere. All that is really needed to get started is a computer, internet connection and a telephone line, so there are few initial overheads. Compared with buying into other types of franchises, this is relatively inexpensive.
Revenue Streams
The success of your magazine will of course depend on how many readers you can distribute to on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you can produce an interesting edition, brimming with content which your readers enjoy, it will be far easier to attract businesses to advertise on the pages too. It can take quite some time to grow your readership in the early months of the business, and it will take quite some effort in terms of speaking to libraries and other outlets to convince them to stock the magazine and also in finding a supply of interesting things to write about. Once you are up and running, the main source of income will be advertising space which is sold, so establishing and maintaining relationships with local businesses who are interested in advertising is of critical importance.
Growing the Business
Most people who buy into a magazine franchise are quite content with running one in their local area only, and have no desire to expand. However, the opportunities may be there to buy another similar magazine franchise in the same geographic area, or to expand into a neighboring area instead. Two magazines does not have to mean double the work, and contacts made while working on one, can be used when it comes to launching a second. There is also the possibility of taking on additional staff to help build the empire.
So if you are creative and love writing about your local area, you should seriously consider this type of opportunity.

Bournville, which is at the south end of Birmingham, is the home to Cadbury's and Cadbury world in the famous village that was established by George Cadbury commencing in 1895. George Cadbury undertook this project not as a single-handed attempt to solve social problems within the city. His hope was to prove to political powers that good quality housing located in a green and natural environment was totally realisable and would be for the greater good of the local society.
By taking this stance, George Cadbury proved that change could be made to the attitudes of the time by practical example rather than through political lobbying.
George founded the Bournville Village Trust in 1900 as a charitable organisation that would carefully plan further development and to preserve the estate for future generations to enjoy.
Other places of interest in Bournville include the feature 'Cadbury World' a must for children and chocoholics alike.
The Digbeth Tuck Trail overlooks one of the secrets to the areas early success, the canals, where many firms located themselves so they had quick and easy access to the network of canals in the area. The Tuck Trail begins on Great Barr Street, overlooking the canal system. There are many interesting buildings on this route including the old Bird's Custard Factory and the Typhoo Tea Factory. The creators of Typhoo Tea were the Summers family who originated from the city and they began to sell their blend of tea when one of the family members claimed it eased her indigestion.
Bird's Custard was established by the Digbeth Chemist, Alfred Bird Senior, who devised a method of producing custard without any egg's as his wife was allergic to them.
The Jewellery Quarter is a unique conservation area within the city that has always been renowned the world over for it's fine jewellery and it still accounts for some 40% of UK's jewellery production.
Other places of interest include the canal system that in the 18th century had some 174 miles of navigable waterways or which some 114 still remain as navigable. Walking the canal towpaths provides a completely different perspective of the city which in some parts of the Grand Union Canal feels like you are in the country and its only when you see the Tyseley Incinerator that you are reminded that you are indeed within the city boundaries. Walk further along the canal to Acocks Green and you'll walk past the site of the old Rover Car Manufacturing site that is a now a modern housing estate on Clay Lane.
Then there's the very poorly publicized 'Tolkein Trail' which takes in the Shire Park and Sarehole Mill plus the Moseley Bog and the Two Towers at Edgbaston Reservoir (the Edgbaston Waterworks and Perrott's Folly).
Other places of interest in and around Birmingham include Blakesley Hall, Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum. Likey Hills, Barr Beacon with some great views over the city and then out to Clent Hills which provide views of Birmingham (looking over Birmingham University) and the Black Country.
Some other places of interest in Birmingham include the Botanical Gardens, Soho House Museum, the Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens Trust and Martineau gardens are among some of the other places of interest to visit when visiting the city.

Press reports are continually telling us that as a nation we are getting fatter and taking less exercise than ever before. There is a huge demand for fitness classes, gym membership and personal training for all age groups and the size of the market in the UK has grown to an estimated annual value of £3.6 billion. Around 12% of the UK populations are members of a gym, and many more attend classes on an ad hoc basis. One of the best ways of getting a slice of this is to invest in one of the growing number of fitness franchise companies.
Opportunities
There are a huge number of different operations out there, and the decision about which sort is most suitable will depend on what the business owner's preferences are, the budget for investment and what other sorts of firms are already operating in the local area. Companies such as Anytime Fitness or Fit4Less offer the opportunity to start up your very own gym and start recruiting members. If the idea of being a gym owner does not appeal, then it may be better to direct your attention to a specific market sector.
Market Niches
The big trend in the world of health and exercise is niche companies which target their products and services to a specific population group, in comparison to the big gym chains which aim to cater for everyone. There are companies such as Tumble Tots, Premier Sport or PTC Sports which are aimed at pre-school and primary school aged children, Active Lifestyle which caters for the over 55 market, and Energie, which is a fitness brand aimed at women. Being first in your area with one of these new concept fitness franchises can mean that your business takes off quickly as people are intrigued by the new products.
Weight Loss
Although many people want to go to the gym to keep fit and healthy, for another large segment of the population it's all to do with losing some extra kilos. Weight loss classes and new diets are never short of customers, and currently one of the schemes which is achieving huge press coverage is Lighter Life, which is also available to buy into as a franchise. Taking on this sort of company based around classes means that you are able to organize your own time, but also means a lot of hard work in terms of finding venues, advertising and recruiting and retaining members.
Expansion
Of course many people who start their own business are happy to potter along with one outlet or one set of classes in their operation, but there are always opportunities for growing the firm by recruiting other people to run classes for you, buying another premises in a neighboring town or village or by opening longer hours or at weekends. The hard part is getting the first operation up and running successfully, and any mistakes made with the first shop or gym in your chain can be avoided when opening subsequent franchises.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Here in the UK we love our coffee, and it is rapidly overtaking tea as the nation's favourite cuppa. Since 2005 the market for coffee has doubled and is now worth over £2 billion annually. Forecast growth is for this figure to double again in the next decade. A hardcore 10% of UK adults visit a coffee shop once a day, with many more of us visiting on a less regular basis for our lattes, cappuccino or Americano made just the way we like it. It's therefore no great surprise that opening a coffee shop franchise is one of the most attractive business propositions currently.
Commitment
Although the money and opportunity for growth in the coffee market is enormous, anyone thinking about getting into the coffee business needs to be aware of the huge amount of commitment required. Running a coffee shop is not a one-person job, so there are the issues of staffing and employment to be considered before even opening. Customers expect their coffee store to be open early so they can grab an espresso on the way to work and again late in the evening and at weekends. Running this sort of business can mean long hours, and a distinct lack of weekends or holidays.
Brands
Once you've decided that a coffee franchise is definitely something for you, the next decision is which brand to go for. This decision should not be rushed and it is always wise to spend time talking to existing franchisees, visiting the company's head office, scouting out possible properties which would be suitable for a coffee shop and reading through the franchise agreement in detail so you can understand exactly what is required from you. Most of the big coffee shop brands in the UK such as Costa, Coffee Republic and Starbucks have grown through a franchising model, but there are also lesser known brands starting to build their brand, including Café2U, Lavazza and Really Awesome Coffee. Less well known brands may offer cheaper initial fees, but may be more risky. Another factor in the decision will be how strong a particular brand is in a geographic area, and where the best shop location might be.
Controversy
It's hard to see how something as simple as a cup of coffee can get people so worked up, but in certain areas of the country there has been a huge backlash against the corporate chains of coffee shops such as Costa or Starbucks. Many protesters feel that the large chains are stifling small outlets and driving independent tea rooms or coffee shops out of business. Recently, Starbucks and other large American businesses were in the headlines for paying tiny amounts of UK tax. As a franchise holder you are removed from what goes on at Head Office, but to the customers who are buying your lattes and muffins it is all the same company. Although it is wise to do some thorough market research before buying into any opportunity, it is even more so the case with coffee shops.

An increasing number of us are looking for flexible working patterns, for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes it's because we have children or elderly relatives to care for, or others are studying at University and need something which they can do part time from home. Taking on franchise is an attractive proposition as it offers a low-risk way of entering into the world of work and a chance to be your own boss. Although education is perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind when considering buying any business, it is one of the fastest growing sectors of the market for many reasons.
Types of Education Opportunities
The types of businesses available can be split into two main types. The first sort of franchise concentrates on reinforcing or giving additional help with the core school subjects such as English or Maths. Two of the biggest franchises operating in this sector are Kip McGrath and Kumon. The second sort of educational franchise focuses on pre-school children or offers extra-curricular activities such as art, music, dance or drama. There are a huge number of these sorts of companies, and some of the names which are familiar to all parents include Razzamataz theatre school, Tumble Tots, Jo Jingles or Creation Station. The choice of which is most appropriate for you will depend on what other sorts of companies are already operating in your local area, your individual interests or preferences, and how much capital you are prepared to invest initially.
Developing Market
Surprisingly given the challenging economic conditions of recent years, educational franchises have continued to grow. Parents seem unwilling to cut back on their children's out of school activities even when the family is feeling the pinch, and many also feel that investing in extra tuition in the basic skills will give their child an advantage compared to their classmates and will pay dividends when it comes to sitting exams and getting a good job in later life.
Flexibility
One of the main advantages of running this sort of business is that it works well around other commitments. Classes for school age children run in the late afternoon, evening or weekends and therefore it is easy to combine an education business with University, part-time employment or caring duties. Franchisees have flexibility over when and where they run their classes, and this means that they can structure their working week to suit themselves. Many education businesses choose not to operate during school holidays, making them the ideal choice for parents.
Getting Started
You don't need any teaching qualifications for many of the pre-school or drama franchises, but most operators find it almost impossible to attract customers without some sort of credentials. A desire to work with children or young people is absolutely essential, as is boundless enthusiasm and energy for your chosen concept. Finally, you will have to undergo thorough Police checking into your background before starting your new career.

Having a diary and planning out daily tasks in a strategic format will allow the process of tasks to run smoothly, hence ensuring that work is completed. Additionally, estimating the hours needed for a particular task is vital as this allows you to see a clearer picture of the total hours an assignment will take. This makes meeting deadlines easier.
Colour co-ordinating tasks in order of priority can effectively reduce the pressure of delaying immediate tasks that require completion sooner.
Being able to prioritise your time is essential when under a stressful situation. Spending a considerate amount of time on a certain task will delay the completion of further tasks, leaving one feeling stressful.
This may aggravate the situation if an emergency arose, for example a new deadline to complete. Setting your priorities either for the day or longer, will have an impact on your performance. For example, in a situation of a call centre you may set one of your priorities in winning the customer, this will not only give you a goal to accomplish but allow you to target and pin-point your aim of work.
In nerve-racking situation individuals often disregard having regular breaks. Having regular breaks not only eases stresses but in reality gives you the boost, and energy, to complete the necessary tasks. Having a glass of water regularly prevents the brain from dehydration and allows faster brain function. Having a few minutes of relaxation from work can ease the mind and will reduce any discomfort you may feel.
We all know that being organised is vital in all situations, as this relieve the burden of tasks. However, many staff members often undermine the role of being organised. For example, in a stressful situation one may spend hours in finding important papers that could have been found in seconds if they had been properly filed in the first place!
This not only wastes time but limits time that in reality could have been used in completing work. Having folders, labelling them properly, and filing all your paperwork, is crucial, as this simple task can save hours of time fumbling with and finding papers.
Prioritising your time and having a checklist / to do list can often ease workload as in s stressful situation individuals panic and often forget about tasks that need to be completed urgently. Being tidy is vital, it may seem like a tedious repetitive task; however this saves time and often eases completion of tasks.
Avoid being lethargic! Being lazy is a common attribute that individuals undergo when deadline dates are far off from approaching. When you receive work, finish it before the deadline, as avoiding tasks, and leaving them to the last minute, leads to increased pressure.
The key to effectively easing heavy workload for you can be as simple as doing some strategic planning and managing your time effectively.

Once Birmingham was described as the workshop of the world thanks to the many diverse trades that were in the city. Today, however that statement still holds strong, Birmingham has many leading companies including many research and development businesses. Developments such as Aston Science Park are home to a diverse range of businesses from Telecoms companies through to supply chain software developers.
With the development of areas such as Broad Street and Brindley Place, the city has no become a major destination for conferences at the International Convention Centre. This coupled with the re-development of the Bull Ring have made the city a major shopping destination too.
The city has a major network of business contacts through the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce that is the largest and oldest Chamber of Commerce in Europe. The city has also attracted many major banks and financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank who moved to the city because of the strong pool of talent that exists in the area.
The city also boasts some excellent office space that have low rents and with the excellent transport infrastructure, it's easy to why so many businesses are attracted to the area.
The Gambling Commission relocated to the city from its base in London because of the affordable accommodation in the city and the pool of high quality employees that would help the organisation to grow.
Now at the forefront of innovation in low carbon technologies, the city has become a centre of excellence for many R&D projects. The city has also become a real hub for the production of medical technology and major research trials.
The city provides businesses of all sizes with a diverse range of high quality properties ranging from offices to industrial complexes and commercial land to develop.
The Life Sciences Campus at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is the location of many business associated with the aforementioned medical technologies and the city has simplified the planning process for developers and provide Gap funding for both new developments and existing business spaces.
As a forward thinking city with a large pool of talented people, the city has an extensive and well developed infrastructure and with the development of the 'Big City Plan' Birmingham is in line for multi million pound regeneration scheme that will see further developments involving connectivity and accessibility in the city centre.
The new Library of Birmingham is being constructed on Centenary Square that forms part of the regeneration project and will see the creation of 250 new jobs that will include some 25 apprenticeship posts.
New Street Station is in the process of being redevelopment that is aimed to turn in and the surrounding land an internationally renowned space and the city is at the forefront of the high-speed rail development between the city and London. The project is due to start in 2017 and will take about 8-years to complete.
Birmingham International Airport is being substantially re-developed which will increase its capacity and create some 14,000 additional jobs being created.
The other major development in the city is the extension to the Metro line between Snow Hill Station and New Street Station. The development is expected to boost the local economy by some £50million per annum and it will create a further 1,300 jobs in the area. Following completion, the Metro could be carrying as many as 8million passengers per year with some 3.5million of these being delivered to the new shopping development known as the Gateway.
With further regeneration projects such as the Eastside project and the redevelopment of the 140 hectare site on the former MG Rover Factory, more and more businesses will be starting-up or relocating to the city to make the best use of the talent in the area.

England's second-largest city has in recent years re-invented itself as a cool and vibrant place to visit.
Travellers can easily get to Birmingham via the local International Airport that is just 20 minutes outside the city centre. By train into either New Street Station, Snow Hill Station or Moor Street Station. By coach into Digbeth Coach Station or by car on the M5, M6, M40 and M42 motorways.
The city centre itself has been through a period of radical change, for the better, over recent years. The new Bull Ring shopping centre is the main shopping and dining venue and the area along Broad Street has many clubs and restaurants.
Brindley Place is just off Broad Street and has a great range of Café's, bars and restaurants as well as the National Indoor Arena, the Symphony Hall that is located within the International Convention Centre (ICC). Then there is the famous Hippodrome and the National Sea Life Centre.
The Mailbox (once a Royal Mail sorting office) is an upmarket development featuring offices, designer shops, bars, restaurants and luxury apartments as well as the BBC's local TV and Radio studios.
When the Mailbox was a sorting office, mail was transferred between the sorting office and New Street Station, the mail used to travel along a tunnel between the two. Sometimes this has been opened to the public. The Sorting Office originally housed the largest electric sorting equipment within the West Midlands.
Located by the Mailbox is The Cube whose unique design has transformed the skyline of Birmingham. The Cube has offices, apartments, a club and spa, the Hotel Indigo and the Marco Pierre White restaurant that affords fabulous views across the city from its 25th floor location. For a more casual dining experience there is the Canalside Restaurant that includes a Tea Room and licensed bar. The car park at the Cube is the largest automated car park in the UK. It drops three storeys underground and has a capacity for 339 cars. Vehicles are dropped off at one of four transfer garages where they are scanned and transported in to the car park via an automatic lift from which they are then transported on a palletless conveyor system to an empty space.
On the outskirts of the city is the NEC (National Exhibition Centre). The NEC is the largest exhibition centre in the UK and one the busiest in Europe.
If you are going to stay in Birmingham, there are many good hotels in the city centre such as the Hilton, the Radisson Blu, the Hyatt, the Marriott and the 4-star Copthorne Hotel. There are many other national chains of budget hotels in the area and plenty of privately owned B&B's.
For Tolkein fans, his parents were from Birmingham and some of the areas in Birmingham that inspired his locations for his Trilogy The Lord of The Rings such as the Moseley Bog, Sarehole Mill, the Two Towers in Edgbaston.
Sarehole Mill is referred to in the Hobbit as the Great Mill and Perrott's Folly and the Edgbaston Waterworks were the 'Two Towers.'
Many famous people who were born in Birmingham include:
Ozzy Osbourne – Black Sabbath
Carl Palmer – Emerson Lake and Palmer
Alexander Parkes – inventor of first plastic
Martin Shaw – actor
Steve Winwood – founder of the band Traffic
Roy Wood – The Move, ELO and Wizzard
Barbara Cartland – novelist
John Cadbury – founder of Cadbury's
Jasper Carrott – comedian
Neville Chamberlain – formed Prime Minister
Oscar Deutsch – founder of Odeon cinemas
Phil Lynott –Thin Lizzy
The Moody Blues – named after the local brewery M&B (Mitchells and Butlers) from which they hoped to gain sponsorship.

Article Title: Business Management Styles That Work

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Anyone who has spent time in an office, factory or other working environment will be aware that different managers have different styles, and that some people seem to manage to get the best out of there staff while others struggle to get them to follow even the most basic of orders. Experts agree that the way managers act, can be classified into several basic styles of management, and these different styles may be appropriate in different situations.
Autocratic
The autocratic style of management is one where the manager makes all of the decisions without consulting the staff and does not leave time for consultation, negotiation or input from team members. This style of management works well in emergency situations or in a very time-pressured industry, where there is simply not time for lengthy discussions among management and their staff. Working in this sort of environment in other sorts of businesses can leave staff feeling dictated to and dissatisfied.
Consultative
Managers who fall into the consultative style of management still take most of the decisions on their own, but do also make the effort to take into account the thoughts and feelings of their staff. The problem with this sort of management is that staff soon realise that they are not being listened too, and that consultations with management is more of a box-ticking exercise than it is about getting real influence over decisions which are made.
Laissez-Faire
At the other end of the scale from the autocratic manager, a laissez-faire manager pretty much leaves all of the decisions to the team and interferes as little as possible. In a business where everyone has clearly defined responsibilities and all members of the team work well together, this management style can mean that people have a greater feeling of ownership and job satisfaction. For example, a manager in a publishing company has no need to get involved in the details of producing a business directory if he has team leaders and account managers who can be trusted to get on with things. The disadvantage of having a laissez-faire manager is that individual staff members can feel a bit lost and without direction, especially if they are new to the company.
Democratic
Perhaps bringing together the best of all styles, a democratic manager will fully engage with all members of staff and will ensure that all major decisions are put to the vote. This is the best management style in a business which is trying to bring together people from many different specialist areas to develop a new product or service. It can mean though that having to consult everyone about every little decision makes the decision making process extremely slow, and issues such as deciding which business guide to be listed in become overly complex. It can also mean that the best decisions are not always made as the manager will go with the majority, even if they are convinced that a more appropriate course of action is available to the company.

Most of us have at some time dreamed about giving up the daily commute to the office and being our own boss. Being your own boss gives increased flexibility over working hours and the potential of raking in a larger income than working for a company. However, starting up your own business is not without risk, and in the current economic climate it can be hard to get the banks to lend start-up capital for an untried business idea. It's for all of these reasons that a large number of people are turning to franchising.
How Franchising Works
Franchising is a relatively low-risk way of getting into the business world. Many successful businesses such as McDonald's, Subway and Supercuts hairdressers have grown their brand and network of stores by selling the rights to the brand to independent businesses. An individual wanting to start their own McDonald's will pay a flat fee initially, then an ongoing percentage of their takings. In return, they get the rights to use the McDonald's menu and brand, and benefit from the advertising and the profile of the company as a whole. Many entrepreneurs feel that franchising is a much more lower-risk way of getting into business than starting their very own business from scratch.
Internet Opportunities
Although buying into a traditional franchise model is less risky than investing your own money in building up a business from scratch, it's still not a cheap option. Traditional businesses such as restaurants and retailers are struggling in the economic conditions, and as more of us switch to shopping online, buying into an internet franchise seems to be the obvious solution. The size of the business will dictate what sort of entry fees and royalties are payable, but in general, buying into an internet franchise is a great way of getting into business for yourself. It's also much more appropriate for people living in a rural area, as running a successful internet business often does not depend on where in the country you are located.
Types of Businesses
There are lots of different internet based opportunities for business out there, and the first task is to sift through all the different opportunities on offer and make a short list of the most attractive propositions. Many of the internet based franchise opportunities are based around web design, computer support or internet advertising, and these sorts of businesses may appeal more to investors with a technical or computing background although no specific knowledge is needed to get started. Other business models are available too, and some of the most popular investments for new entrants to the franchising world include local interest websites, computer skills training for children, travel agencies and operating as a broker in the loans market.
Making The Decision
Once a shortlist has been drawn up of the most attractive opportunities, they should all be considered carefully. Price should not be the only factor considered, as a more expensive franchise to buy into may be the one with the longest term prospects for making money.

Article Title: Headlines That Grab Attention in Your Business Adverts

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
A business advert will only be observed by the public if the correct terminology is incorporated, in order to help persuade and sell. This will allow you to grab their attention immediately which will lead to higher sales within your business.
It is important you avoid getting carried away and trick potential customers into believing something that is not true, by making false promises. This will lead to a loss of trust and therefore, they would lose interest very quickly. Moreover, this could lead to negative feedback which would influence other potential customer's viewpoint.
The most important process of creating any business advert would be the headline. This should instantly lure the reader in by persuasively stating what you are marketing. Therefore, I would personally suggest spending equal amount of time on the headline as you would on the main body of your advert.
Below are some examples of successful headlines, if you want to go further with your research it may be a good idea to look into provocative questions such as, 'Are you tired of working 9-5?' however, the headlines below are just as effective:
The Time to Buy Is Right Now
Facts You Should Know About Healthcare
Internet Franchises: Sure Bet or Risky Business?
12 Ways to Make Money from Home.
Make sure you proofread your advert before posting it, this may sound obvious but this could cost you a lot! Your advert must look presentable and most importantly it should be grammatically correct. Therefore, if you do not trust your writing skills then it is probably best to get someone to proof read it and check for errors before posting it.
The main body of the advert should be carefully written, sharp and easily readable. If you use too many fancy sophisticated words, you will scare away possible customers. Readers do not want to waste time looking up the dictionary. They want a simple advert that is easy to follow. Stay positive throughout the advert to prevent readers from losing interest.
Moreover, it is essential to have an effective call to action. This will provide a sense of direction to the readers once they have finished reading or even midway reading. Examples of call to action would be:
'Call us now'
'View our Demo'
'Find out more by watching our video'
Another good technique that you could use is to promise benefits to the customer, however, these must be promises you can keep, so ideally something small. A question that normally arises whilst reading an advert is 'So, what's in it for me?' by the end of reading the advert there should be an answer.
This answer can be tangible; an example would be 25% off your first order or a free brochure. Or it could be an intangible; if advertising a job you could talk about status they would have or gradually gain.
Use clear well constructed headlines to grab the reader's attention, then entice them to find out more by reading your well crafted copy, and finally get them to take action.

To every successful and well-established florist, a strategy and plan is crucial in gaining and keeping customers. In recent years, the core selling point for flowers has been from home owners purchasing flowers either for their home, special occasion or their loved ones.
Having a passion for flowers is the key fundamental aspect that motivates individuals to prosper in a business. In a florist industry one also has to be prepared to work long hours.
Then deciding on location of the business is the next step. Having a florist business in a busy populated area is beneficial as this will assist in business growth. Rent of a location can vary from area to area, so comparing prices of different locations would be a good idea.
Location is important because when it comes to stock, turnover has to be made promptly as flowers wilt and die. Therefore you need a lot of passing trade.
Additionally, depending on the location size of the business, you will have to decide on how many staff you will employ. Having well-trained staff with the right qualifications is crucial in the up sales of the business.
Having stock is the next fundamental basis in the success running of the business. Florists mainly adapt their stock accordingly too seasons or upcoming occasions. For example, Valentine's Day, the main focus would comprise of roses in crimson and pink due to the theme revolving around love.
Many customers want to send surprise deliveries. For large events having complicated arrangements for flower delivery is necessary. Large events such as weddings may require long hours of hard work and early morning delivery. This means that you need to be a determined individual, that doesn't mind early starts, to succeed in this business.
When it comes to purchasing stock you have to have an eye for good and quality stock that will attract customers, and last for a few days. In a competitive industry customers demand variety and quality, therefore purchasing good quality, fresh stock, is essential.
Experience comes into handy in a florist business; if you require the experience it would be beneficial to take a course in floristry or work for a florist before you start your own business. If you are managing the business, find employees with prior experience, to help you run the business.
Advertising and marketing in a business is vital in expanding your florist business. You may consider creating a website to sell your flowers, online as being established on the internet, can help in finding new customers.
You may consider limiting the cities you ship to, to avoid delivery issues. To make your internet business successful, customers need to find your website on the search engines. Making your business found on Google and providing great services will help you find new customers and retain them.
The main aspects of starting a florist business can be summarised into location, quality stock, reliable trained staff, and advertising that will help you find customers quickly and efficiently.

At the beginning of the 19th century Birmingham's population was around 74,000 and by the end of the century, this had expanded to over 630,000. The rapid expansion in population meant that the city was now the second largest centre of population in Britain.
With the city being the centre of the canal network and the coming of the railways in the latter part of the century, Birmingham was set to expand even further.
In the First World War, the city had over half the men of the city serving in the armed forces. Of the 150,000 men serving, over 35,000 were wounded and 13,000 killed. With the onset of mechanized warfare, the city became an even more strategic centre as a major centre of industrial production.
At the end of the war, the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, recognised the significant contribution that Birmingham had made in the allied victory, stating that the Empire owed Birmingham a deep debt of gratitude.
Following the end of the First World War, the council decided to rehouse families from the inner city slums by building council estates in areas such as Acocks Green, Sell Oak and Harborne amongst others and by the commencement of the Second World War, some 50,000 council houses had been constructed.
During both wars, the Longbridge car plant was switched to the production of military equipment and munitions with the Spitfire being produced in Castle Bromwich, a fact that is commemorated by the 'Spitfire Island' by the Jaguar car plant.
Again the city's industrial contribution and importance to the country had been decisive in winning the war.
For thirty years following the end of the Second World War, Birmingham flourished for some 30-years. With the introduction of the 'Distribution of Industry Act' in 1945 which was put in place to help struggling towns in the north to grow and deliberately stifle growth in Birmingham and London, the city saw over 39,000 jobs transferred out of the area. With companies such as BMC (British Motor Corporation) and Fisher & Ludlow moving to south Wales.
However, the service sector started to expand in what was the commercial centre of the country's most successful regional economy which saw the expansion of the merchant banking sector with many of London's larger banks and those of international banks opening in the city.
Strong expansion was also noted in the finance and insurances sectors as well as the professional and scientific services. However, this success was seen as a 'threatening situation' and the incoming Labour government in 1964 sought to control the expansion of office accommodation by extending the Control of Office Employment act of 1965 to the city which banned further office development for the next 20-years.
These policies had a major effect on the city that had now become reliant on larger businesses and the smaller companies reliant on these companies so the city of a thousand trades and now become over-specialised in the motor manufacturing industry.
With immigration in to the city during the 50's and 80's, the city has seen emigrants from Ireland, Commonwealth Nations and Southern Asia. The Caribbean and latterly Poland, the city has truly becomes a multi-cultural and diverse city that has a certain vibrance about it. With this diversity came problems but these have largely disappeared and the city now enjoys foods from a variety of countries around the world.
Further developments have helped to secure the city as a major conference and shopping centre, with the ICC, Broad Street and the new Bull Ring Shopping Centre adding to the many reasons why visitors flock to Birmingham every year.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Birmingham began its life as a small Anglo Saxon hamlet on the edge of the Arden Forest and grew to become a major city through a combination of civic pride, innovation and immigration that all helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution both in Birmingham and the Black Country.
By the turn of the 20th century, Birmingham had risen from a market town to become the hub of the automotive and manufacturing industries. The city had earned a reputation initially for its canal network, including the Grand Union Canal and then as a city of cars and now on to a major convention centre and shopping destination.
The transformation of the city from a rural manor recorded in the Doomsday Book started around 116 when Lord of the Manor, Peter de Birmingham, got a Royal Charter from Henry 11 that let him hold a weekly market at his 'castle at Birmingham'.
Within a century of 1166, the town had transformed in to a prosperous area of craftsmen and merchants.
By the 14th century, the town was an established centre for the wool trade and was situated on several important trade routes across the country.
The huge industrial growth in the area began well before that of the northern textile towns and can be traced back to the 1680's. And as early as 1791, Birmingham was being described as the first manufacturing town in the world by the economist Arthur Young and was the third most-populous area outside of London and Bristol.
Despite things such as the industrial steam engine having origins in the area, they did little to do with the expansion of Birmingham and things such as buckles, buttons, jewellery and guns were produced in small specialist workshops and this growth in manufacturing was driven in part by the highly skilled workforce of the area and the many innovations that came from the town.
Between the years of 1760 and 1850 residents in Birmingham registered well over three times as many patents as any other area or town in that time making it the most inventive town of the era in terms of manufacturing technology.
As the canal network in Birmingham and the Black Country expanded rapidly, following the building of the first canal that inked the town to the coal mines in Wednesbury, the town and its population expanded rapidly and the town became know as the 'workshop of the world'.
With the arrival of the railways in 1837, the Grand Junction Railway linked the town with Manchester and Liverpool and in the following year the line to London opened. The London and North Western Railway jointly constructed New Street Station with the Midland Railway and in 1852, the Great Western arrived and constructed the smaller station of Snow Hill that linked to Oxford and Paddington. Latterly, the city became known as the 'city of a thousand trades' because of the huge variety of products being produced locally.
In 1851 a network of sewers was built that connected to the River Rea however, only new homes were connected to the sewer system and existing homes had to wait decades to be connected to the system.
Gas lighting was introduced in 1818 and a water company was established in 1826 but it would only provide clean water to paying customers with electricity being supplied to the area in 1882. From 1873 horse drawn trams were introduced with electric trams following in 1890.
When Joseph Chamberlain became mayor of the town, some of the worst slums such as the back to back houses were demolished and under his leadership Birmingham was transformed under one of the most ambitious schemes outside of London.
Chamberlain was also responsible for the building of the Council House and the Victoria Law Courts on Corporation Street.
Clean water supplies were improved and the water supply increased through the construction of the Elan Valley reservoir in Wales. This project was completed in 1904.
The City or Birmingham continues to enjoy tremendous growth and many more projects are being worked on in the city including the extension of the Metro Line from Snow Hill to New Street Station.

Born in London, Joseph Chamberlain made his career in Birmingham firstly in the manufacture of screws and then as the Mayor of Birmingham.
Joseph Chamberlain was actually born in London on July 8th, 1836 and was a British politician and statesman. At the time, most politicians were from well to do families and had attended either Oxford or Cambridge. Joseph Chamberlain on the other hand was a self made businessman.
In his early career he was a radical member of the Liberal Party and campaigned for the reform of the education system. Relatively late in a life for a politician, he entered the House of Commons when he was nearly forty and rose to power through his influence of grassroots organization of the Liberal Party. He was President of the Board of Trade during Gladstone's second term in government. During Gladstone's third term in parliament Chamberlain resigned in opposition to the Irish Home Rule and when the Liberal Party split, Chamberlain became aa member of the Liberal Unionist Party that included a number of MP's from and around Birmingham.
Following the general election of 1895, the Liberal Unionists worked in coalition with the Conservatives under Lord Salisbury, his former opponent.
Declining many positions, Chamberlain finally became the Secretary of State for the Colonies. In this role he oversaw the Boer war and was the figure that dominated in the Unionists Government's re-election in 1900 at what was known as the 'Khaki Election'.
Resigning from the cabinet in 1903 to campaign for tariff reform, he obtained much support from his fellow Unionists but the party split and this contributed to their defeat at the general election in 1906.
Some months after the defeat Chamberlain had a stroke that disabled him and despite never having become Prime Minister, he was regarded as one of the most important politicians of the time and was a renowned orator.
By different marriages, Chamberlain was the father of Sir Austen Chamberlain and the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
Whilst Chamberlain was born in London, he found great success in Birmingham and at the age of 18, he joined a firm that his father had invested in. That firm was Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds of Birmingham, one of the largest screw manufacturers in the country and at the time, they were responsible for producing over two-thirds of the screws made in the country. When Chamberlain became a partner with Joseph Nettlefold, the firm became known as Nettlefold and Chamberlain. When he retired from the business in 1874, the firm was exporting screws to Australia, Europe, India, Japan, the USA and Canada.
Chamberlain first married a member of a Unitarian from Birmingham (family came from Wrexham in Wales), in 1861, Harriet Kenrick, who had a premonition that she would die in childbirth. Following the birth of their son, Joseph Austen, she became ill and died three days later.
In 1868 Chamberlain married Harriet's cousin, Florence Kenrick, with who he had four children. Florence died within a day of giving birth to their fifth child as did the baby.
Chamberlain married Mary Endicott in Washington DC. Mary was the daughter of William Endicott, the US Secretary for War.
Chamberlain died on July 2nd 1914 and the famous clock tower at Birmingham University was named the "Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower" in his honour.

Franchising is a business concept that continues to generate interest from budding entrepreneurs. For someone who wants to start a new business with a franchise, there are many factors worthy of consideration before starting out. For example, it is imperative that a franchisee fully comprehends their business contract. With this in mind, how do you establish an understanding of this vital documentation?
The first port of call for making sense of your contract is to employ the help of a good lawyer. In doing this you are ensuring that every component of the legally-binding document is well scrutinised. Contacting a franchise lawyer can be done through the British Franchise Association's website. In most cases you will receive a draft copy of your contract that you and your lawyer can read through, allowing you to highlight anything you wish to enquire about.
The contract breaks down into several components. First and foremost will be what your franchise is going to cost. This will include the starting fee as well as any continuous payments that will need to be made. The contract will also explain at what time you should be making payments and how you will make them.
Also outlined in the document will be the period of time in which your initial franchising licence will last and the terms of renewal. This means you must fully understand what possibilities can occur once your first franchise licence expires. Some franchisors will offer a fixed renewal date within their contract. You will need to make sure that you are aware of when this is as well as the clauses through which you can terminate your agreement.
Franchisors will want to issue you with a certain degree of development and training to ensure you are operating efficiently with your franchise. However, extra and additional training will come at an excess cost. This will be detailed in your contract so be sure you know how much additional training will cost.
Always remember that in drafting out a contract, franchisors will look to gain as much of an advantage as possible in your agreement. There are several factors that should be considered to be sure you are receiving a fair deal.
Firstly, pay close attention to what restrictions there are within your contract. For example, are there any components with the document that prevent you from expanding your franchise? Some companies can be very restrictive on expansion. Also, you should be examining the costs of your annual payments and comparing them with your projected profits.
Once again, observing the get-out clauses for your franchise is of the utmost importance. If you need to terminate your contract in the future, you need to know what penalties this will carry.
Finally, you need to know how much help the company will offer you after the initial set up of your franchise. Will they continue to support you throughout the course of your agreement? How much support will they provide in the event of any legal disputes?
Overall, studying your contract is absolutely essential before fully committing to your business agreement. It appears that the devil could very well be in the detail; therefore, it is crucial that you understand each and every aspect.

Franchises are available for budding entrepreneurs wanting to enter a wide range of sectors. The domiciliary care market is one such sector, and the Caremark franchise opportunity has been available since 2005. Kevin Lewis, who began the empire in West Sussex, offered bespoke healthcare to patients in the safety of their own homes. Now, over 60 regions benefit from the Caremark model, a business that retains close relationships with social services and other welfare organisations to cater to the needs of the people it serves.
Prospective franchisees are being offered the chance to provide services under the well-respected Caremark brand. The brand offers training courses to interested entrepreneurs, the first of which is booked up quickly due to insatiable demand. In addition to the education and experience offered to those recruited, the creation of new headquarters with dedicated franchise managers allows continuous support to be given to franchisees as and when it is required.
The Caremark venture, which includes well-established healthcare being offered to the elderly, enables franchisees to work in areas of the care market which are hugely underserved. The domiciliary care market has been valued at as much as £17 billion and it is hoped this will expand as caring, enterprising and committed individuals take advantage of the franchise packages being offered.
The cost of the franchise package, excluding VAT, is £25,000. For this start-up cost, you receive admission on a two-week training programme that comprehensively covers the skill set required for the business. In addition, a corporate identity kit enables you to create a brand for the franchise, with uniforms, stationery and permission to use the design scheme of the business where required.
Resources to allow you to manage your Caremark franchise effectively are also included. For example, customisable specialist software to boost productivity and improve the customer experience is offered. When added to promotional materials that will enhance your sales and marketing technique, as well as operations manuals and recognition by the appropriate regulatory bodies, you will be fully prepared to offer a legal and comprehensive care service to the public.
In this type of white collar business, the technology that professionals use every day changes immensely over time. Because of this, Caremark's consistent communication with its franchisees allows for the services offered across the UK to be up to date and modified in line with the healthcare market. This solid business model enables franchise holders to generate repeat custom that will allow for a consistent income into the future.
There are few franchises that offer so much reward. Caremark service franchisees include helping the elderly and the vulnerable with daily life, from going to the shops to walking the dog, understanding utility bills and working a mobile phone. The rapport and relationships that are created over time between carer and patient represent rewarding job opportunities that are difficult to find anywhere else. If you are a franchisee who wants to find a rewarding and unique business model where demand for a great service is high, is there a better choice than Caremark?

Starting a recruitment business at home on your own is not an easy task to accomplish. It can be challenging and expensive, but with careful planning and understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, the chances of you operating a good and profitable business is very high.
Running a recruitment agency is all about being able to select the right person for each job. So, first it is good to analyse your strengths and weaknesses and be honest with yourself about what you can do well and what you will need to find in other people. Once you have a better idea of what skills you possess, you will be able to see whether you are suited to run a recruitment agency. Don't worry if there are gaps in your skills as there are many support agencies that you can talk to in order to get advice and help during your journey to setting up a business.
The most important part of starting your own business is the funding. Without adequate finance, most businesses collapse before they get started properly. If you need to take out a loan then approach your bank with a well-designed and thorough business plan. They will ask you a lot of questions about your plans and ideas for your business so make sure that you are prepared.
If you are starting your business from home, then your overheads for office space will be lower, but it is always worth investing some money in updating your office equipment and supplies. The amount of funding you need initially will largely depend on the compromises you are willing to make, as there is no point in buying everything you need straight away.
Your website will be a very important recruiting tool so it is worthwhile investing some money in a professional company to do the designing for you. The layout should be interesting, eye-catching and easy to follow. That way, you are free to take care of the other more important factors.
Start building up a network and a list of contacts. Link your business to social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook to get as much publicity as you can.
Invest in a search engine optimisation company that will help to maximise your company's potential. This way, you can advertise your job listings and any job opportunities. Make sure that you can always stay in touch with your employers and that you have a quick and easy way to contact them if an urgent issue arises. Find out where jobs fairs and recruiting events are taking place too and attend as many as possible. This gets your name out in the industry and known to potential clients.
It is not essential that you have any past experience or an extensive knowledge about recruiting to start your own business, but it is important that you are able to keep your eyes and ears open for fruitful opportunities when they arise. That way, you can guide your career towards a successful future through the competitive industry sector.

Article Title: Five Advantages of a Franchise

If you're looking at buying a franchise to start a new business, you'll find that the process will require a substantial amount of research and planning in order for you to stand a good chance of being successful.
Here is a list of five advantages of starting a new venture with a franchise:
• When you purchase a franchise from a franchisor, you will find that not only are you purchasing a company name, you are also acquiring a company model. This means that there is already a pre-established formula to help you get through day to day operations. Having this structure in place is good for new entrepreneurs that have never managed their own business before.
• In a similar vein, you will find that by taking on a franchise you will be entitled to ongoing support from people that are experts within their field. When establishing a franchise, you are not alone; you become part of a pre-established network that can assist you in the case that you have any concerns, worries or questions.
• On top of having a model to go on and a strong network of support, you'll find that many franchises offer comprehensive training initiatives to help make their franchisees successful and allowing them to meet each and every challenge with confidence.
• Successful franchises have a substantial amount of capital behind them, which leads to them having a higher survival rate than other businesses you might be considering investing in. It might be common sense, but you'll want to be sure to go with a growing brand that has experienced wide and rapid growth and is set within an expanding marketplace while avoiding any franchise that is in an industry where the marketplace is declining.
• Being part of a franchise will give you a greater sense of bargaining power. This means that when people have heard of the company you represent and know that it is successful, they are more likely to negotiate with you and offer you favourable terms. Most people establishing their own business struggle to get best prices and decent credit terms from their suppliers.
While these five advantages show franchising in an advantageous light, it is important to be aware that despite the many benefits that being part of a franchise can bring, it is not always going to be easy running your own business, even with the help of the franchisor, and there will be a considerable number of skills you will have to learn before you feel completely comfortable and confident with your new business set up.
Remember to think wisely about which franchisor you choose. Find a franchisor that has people in their team that you can like, can trust and rely on. While there is risk involved with any new type of business, you can reduce the chance of being unsuccessful with a franchise by securing a deal with a franchisor that is committed to your success. You'll also want to bear in mind that while you are interrogating the franchisor, the franchisor will also be examining you closely to see if you are suitable for their franchises.
Now you can see some of the advantages and benefits of taking on a franchise, you can continue your search to find a company in which you would like to become associated with.
