Delightful Desserts: Q&A with Director, Baz

I’ve never run my own business before, do you think I will be able to run a franchise successfully?

Buying a franchise is a good option for entrepreneurs who want to start a business but don’t want to go through the hard work of establishing a new brand and system.

With a franchise model you have the benefit of an already tried and tested business format, as well as the backing and support from the franchisor and other franchisees, so it is not important that you haven’t had any previous business experience.

A business model that is proven to work for others can give you the confidence that it can work for you also. Look at the franchise model, look at previous success rates and find out if the model is right for you in terms of the support you will receive.

Our belief in franchising at Delightful Desserts is ‘Be in business for yourself, but not by yourself’. By following the systems outlined by us you follow in our footsteps and your business will benefit from the experience of an established brand. It is your business; we are there in the background as your support and guidance.

My advice is don’t be scared of doing something new, you may just surprise yourself at how simple things can be.
