The best e-company of the year in 2007… and we’re the fastest growing franchise in the UK!

To many people, the ideal home based business means an internet business. They are easy to run and have low overheads, so (when you get it right) they can be very profitable. Indeed, you may have tried one or two.
Our ‘thebestof’ franchise is web based, (at least in part) but nothing like the low end business opportunities you’ll read about. That’s because ours is 100% proven to work.

How do we define success?

• Well, we’re the FASTEST GROWING FRANCHISE IN THE UK, with more than 350 franchises established since July 2005…

• We were voted The Best e-company of the year in 2007 by The Sharp Edge…

• ‘thebestof’ opportunity was a finalist in “Growing Business Awards New Product of the year section in 2006”, less than18 months after we started!

• We were finalists in the Start Up Business Awards last year. OK we didn’t win that one, but that gives us something to aim for next year, and still a remarkable achievement for such a young business.

You know, those awards prove one thing. The team that help you set up your ‘thebestof’ franchise can be trusted to get it right, to work closely with you, and to go the extra mile when it comes to guiding, support and assisting you. Aren’t they very important things to consider when you are choosing the right franchise?

Let’s get to the detail.

Let me ask you, have you ever felt let down and disappointed with the service you received from a local tradesman or shop?

Well, it’s the same for every single one of your neighbours!

thebestof website is the answer to that problem for thousands of people just like you in your area. It’s a home based business opportunity for you to become the operator of a fully featured website that promotes local shops and businesses.
Your site will be used by local people, looking to buy from local businesses.

When they see a business listed it promotes the business as ‘best in its class’ - that may be price, reliability, product knowledge or just being plain friendly and nice to do business with!

Good news spreads fast and local businesses know it!

They will want to be a part of a website that genuinely woks hard to bring them new business

Also, heading into 2008, we have just completely renovated our business model.

Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the old one. It’s just that the internet today is very different than it was just a few years ago, when we first started. We know that in this industry standing still means falling behind. We won’t let that happen to us, or you.

The business works so well because:

• Your franchise is area based and exclusive to you.
• Your site readers can interact with the site. And with each other, they get involved and make the site a part of their lives. That means they use it themselves and visit shops and businesses listed on it.
• It’s very easy to show your prospective client exactly how the business works, and why it makes financial sense to pay to feature on it.
• You’ll have no problem showing local companies proof that the featured listings pay for themselves by bringing your clients new customers.
• Signing them up is simple, Your clients pay each month for inclusion in a Best Of category, and they pay in advance by Direct Debit so there is no risk of bad debt or chasing unpaid bills.
• They don’t need design skills or web marketing experience, because they pay you to take care of their web presence. For you, getting them on line is easy, you don’t need design skills either because everything is on your simple to use admin console that we provide.
• They don’t need to figure out search engine optimisation or pay for it (nor do you - we take care of all this side of the business for you). That alone makes your proposition worthwhile.

Franchise Earnings

Anything from 100 to 600 companies featuring on your web site could be achievable depending on the area you are working in. We’ll talk through your areas potential in great detail before we enter into any agreement with you, to be sure you are happy with the area you will be managing.

A site with 100 clients each paying you an average of £50 per month would bring you £5000 every month. At the higher end of this opportunity a site with 600 featured businesses would be worth £30,000 a month to you.

And remember what we said about residual income? That money comes in whether you are sitting in the office, or taking a month out to relax and see some of the world. Residual income is one of the most powerful aspects of this amazing opportunity; it’s what truly sets thebestof 0pportunity apart from all of the other franchise businesses.

To get to that target, break the marketing plan down into easy Manageable ‘chunks’, you’ll get there, and with our dedicated team of Franchise Development Managers, whose sole role in life is to help you build your business, it will be hard work at first, fun every day, and profitable in no time at all!

As with any business it’s not just income but overheads that are important, because that determines the bottom line profitability of your business.

Your franchise fees and monthly payment to us covers the costs of your server, hosting, website and on-going development. So overheads remain small, and profits are maximised.

Also, the fee you pay to us is fixed, so every time you bring in a new paying customer, you’ll know exactly what you owe to us, and what profit that client means to you over the coming months and years.

It’s a simple business, with very simple book keeping.
