Where are you?

In a great place, but a little bit scared?

You’ve an exciting concept, after weeks, months or years of thinking about it. You can imagine what it’s going to look like; have some ideas on what you will serve; understand what’s special about your business; you may have a location in mind and already have a feel for who your customers are going to be.

But this is where it can be daunting — how do you decide whether your idea can really fly ?

There are the things you may know about, like finding the right location or sourcing supplies. Then there are the things you don’t…

• How much is it all going to cost?

• Do I have enough money and can I get it?

• Will my idea work in reality?

• Are the customers out there for it?

• What about all the regulations and rules - HMRC, Admin etc. ?

• Am I nuts to think this can fly ??

How we can help

As a franchisor, working with new and start-up businesses is what the team and I do. We’ve been through most of what you are going though already.

Your business idea is unique to you. Our experience doesn’t mean we’ll know which answer is right for you - you’ll know that, and we want you to rely on your sound instincts and own wisdom.

We do know the precise questions you need to ask and when you need to ask (and answer) them! That’s invaluable in moving forwards.

Our history started out just like yours, with a great idea but some uncertainty about how to do it. The support we offer comes from knowing where you are and the challenges you face, based on real world experience of actually doing it ourselves.

Helping you to clarify your offering; the feasibility of finding the right location; the costs involved; what the likely returns might be; how regulations work and how long it will all take are the areas we will look at with you, to help you reach that all important decision on taking the leap !

What you’ll get

As Founder of Beatons, it’ll normally be me who you’ll meet initially. In understanding your concept and key aspects of your plan you’ll enjoy a refreshing review, clarifying and identifying the key areas we know are important to consider at this stage.

At this stage you want the complex turned into the simple so you can get on with your life.

Knowing that, we’ll turn this review into a brief, practical and, most importantly, actionable summary. Invaluable in honing in on the key things to turn your decision-making into a doddle!

The final stage is a further meeting, or call, to ensure you feel you’re as informed and ready as you can be to make that final Go/No Go decision.

We can’t make the decision for you, but we can clear the way for it to be made with confidence, knowing you’re taking it with a ‘expert eye’.
