” A good franchise can multiply in a very positive way”
Hawke’s Bay Today Tuesday, May 4, 2010
It’s a successful business founded in Havelock North in 2003 and while times are tight for most businesses Smart has actually come into its own as more employers look to outsource business services.
Smart founder and director Adrienne Pierce designed the business to be franchised from the outset and says it’s exciting to build a brand and expand.
Smart saves business owner’s time and money by offering a range of services that are cost effective, confidential and help put the business owner in control. Outsourcing business services is a very cost effective alternative to employing part-time or full-time staff, Adrienne says. Using the services of Smart can cost 50 to 70 per cent less than the cost of employing someone.
However, until recently they have found some small to medium employers a little slow to grasp the concept of outsourcing, probably because there hasn’t been a local option like Smart before.
The Smart concept challenges traditional business methods but younger employers understand it’s a virtual world where you don’t necessarily need to see personnel working in the office, Adrienne says.
Business services is one of the fastest growing areas within the franchising industry with huge potential for expansion, Adrienne says. It offers a great opportunity for those at a crossroads in their careers, or who have been made redundant, to consider a Smart franchise.
When building a franchise system corporate values become more important because people are looking to invest in what you’ve developed and work alongside you for a long time. For this woman that is the exciting part about Smart.
“We love franchising and prospective buyers like the fact we are experienced franchisors,” says Adrienne.”We give them the recipe and it’s a real buzz supporting people to grow in their own businesses.”
Smart franchises are available nationwide and the last one available in Hawke’s Bay is Napier. There are branches in Christchurch and Auckland with several more due to open very soon. Click here to register your interest now
