50 Jobs In Prospect As Franchise Looks To New Territory

nebusiness.co.uk:

ABIN cleaning franchise is to be rolled out in the North East and promises to create about 50 jobs by next year.

Norfolk company VIP Bin Cleaning has sold the licence to its North East operations to County Durham franchise advice group Be Franchising, which will see it add 20 businesses to the 3 already in the region.

The Shildon support group, in its first franchise, will provide funding to budding entrepreneurs that want to be part of the successful cleaning company, which has operations as far away as Australia.

The franchises usually run with two to three staff, with a high proportion of husband and wife teams taking up the opportunity. Be Franchising business franchise development manager Brian Jackson said: ‘As well as offering help and guidance, we wanted to be proactive and offer a good quality franchising opportunity for people across the region.

‘It is now our intention to try and remove any barriers that people may have had previously when considering the franchise route to self-employment.

‘Research has told us that finance is the biggest barrier to people going into franchising. Now that Be Franchising owns the licence to trade under the VIP brand in the North East, we can help overcome these concerns.

‘This is a unique move by a support agency like ourselves with the aim of rapidly boosting enterprise and helping to launch new businesses.’ More.
