Franchising provides a safe local business opportunity with minimal risk

With the NAB predicting unemployment to reach six per cent in 2009 and The Daily Telegraph and ZNet Australia reporting significant redundancies throughout both the public service(1) and the private sector(2), it seems even large scale organisations are feeling the economic pinch.

Many are facing job loss or retrenchment and for those in this situation it may be time to consider creative business alternatives.

Surprisingly, keynote speakers at the recent National Franchise Convention, were confident that the franchising sector will drive through the storm and come out even stronger at the end. What’s so different about the franchising opportunity? It’s the ability to own your own business without being on your own.

Bill Hyde at Tile Rescue is acutely aware of the tremendous opportunity available those who find themselves suddenly unemployed or recently retrenched. “We’ve always known at Tile Rescue the enormous earning potential for our franchisees. In almost every dwelling imaginable a tiled surface exists that requires constant maintenance and care. With our top earning franchisee making in excess of $120,000 per year, we’ve confirmed that tile restoration services are at the top of the franchisee marketplace.”

For the Tile Rescue technician, where there are tiles there is business.

Now there is a business opportunity where the scope of demand is strong and the number of technicians so scarce.

Technicians with Tile Rescue tile maintenance franchise chain stand on the edge of a unique and unmatched opportunity. With only a handful of technicians offering tile maintenance services, an unleashed opportunity exists to offer a unique range of services to both the domestic and commercial arenas.

Whether the client requires their tiles to be cleaned and sealed; their grout to be recoloured or stain guarded; their tiles to be regrouted or a leak in their shower repaired, the tile maintenance franchise network brings a solution that is both an affordable and a welcome alternative to the expense of replacing old tiles.

Our technicians regularly comment on the enormous job satisfaction they gain from the satisfied look on their customer’s face. If you are good with your hands and keen to manage your own business, you may be interested in a Tile Rescue tile maintenance franchise opportunity.
