Here are ten good reasons why choosing The Herne Group franchise makes excellent business sense:

1. High Income Potential

The Herne Group franchise gives you the opportunity to build a profitable sales business and earn a high income while working for yourself, but with the training, back up and support of an established business behind you every step of the way. You are selling a high value product and you will earn 70% of the value of each sale. The client receives excellent value for money and a fully professional service as soon as your sale is complete.

Once you have competed the sale, you can move onto the next prospect. There is no follow up activity required, this is all handled from head office. Your role is purely sales: prospect, sell, move on.

2. Build a Long Term Investment

As the owner of a successful franchise business, you are building a valuable long-term investment that you are then able to sell or pass on, perhaps as a retirement nest egg. The Herne Group franchise contract includes specific provision for you to do this and so build a valuable investment that can be realised in the future.

3. Ongoing Renewal Income

The product you are selling is based on an annually renewable licence. These renewals are all automatic and are fully handled by our head office team. You will continue to earn 50% of the annual fees that are paid by your existing clients, therefore building up a healthy and increasing recurring income each year. So, even though you have had no further contact with that client, you will still receive 50% of their payment to the company.

4. Exclusive Territory

As a Herne Group franchisee you are given a large exclusive territory to sell in and only you can operate in your territory. The size of territory is chosen to give you the opportunity to build a large, successful business where you earnings are only limited by the work you are prepared to put in. We are limiting the number of franchises that we sell specifically to ensure that each franchisee has an area that provides him or her with a large prospect pool to build a successful business in the years ahead.

5. Established Brand

The Herne Group was established in 2002 and we have an enviable record and reputation in the industry. As a Herne Group franchisee you will be licensed to use this brand, stationery and logo which will give you credibility with your prospective clients from day one whereas a new start business may be viewed with less trust and enthusiasm. Your clients will know that they are dealing with a long standing and reputable company which will help greatly in attaining appointments and closing sales.

6. Start up Training

As a Herne Group franchisee you receive all of the training necessary to set you on the road to success. As an experienced salesman or woman, you already have the basic skills that you require to operate this business franchise. We will provide you with all of the product knowledge, prospecting information, and business start up support that you need to hit the road running. This means that you should be selling from week 1, and you should start generating income from month 2 onwards.

7. Ongoing Support

The Herne Group’s management team have over 50 years of practical experience in direct selling and realise that ongoing support and back up are vital in helping you to build your business. There will always be someone available to bounce new ideas off and provide support and advice in assisting you to develop your business. Our management team are also knowledgeable on most aspects of running your own business and so can handle many of the day-to-day queries that you may have. You are never on your own.

8. No Stock or Specialist Equipment Required

This franchise does not require you to hold any stock – the product you are selling is provided to your clients completely on line. This means that your cash flow is much easier than many small businesses, and you do not have money tied up in stock that is just sitting on a shelf. It also means that your initial investment is smaller than for most franchises: you only need a laptop computer and printer, an office telephone, and your own transport – there is nothing else needed.

9. Run your Business from Home so Very Low Overheads

As a pure sales franchise, this business does not require you to operate from a rented office or premises, in fact we recommend that you work from a home office. This gives you the convenience of no commuting and no office rental costs to take out of your profits. Your only overheads are your telephone calls and vehicle running costs when visiting clients to complete the sales.

10. Professional Business Planning

As a Herne Group franchisee you are provided with your own business plan and cash flow projection spreadsheet. This means that you have a track to run on from day 1, and if you need additional finance for your business then these documents can help you to secure this funding.
