It's All Bout Keeping Your Own Identity Within A Franchise

2 May 2022

Show notes

May 2, 2022

On this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio we want to give you a chance to listen to some of the great content from the back catalogue of the podcast.

 

Back in August of 2019, I spoke to Ian Priest from the Independent Banking Consultancy.

 

It was a fascinating conversation, so we thought that we would give you a chance to hear it again. 

 

Ian has got incredible banking experience through his many years in the industry, and it was fascinating to hear about that transition from working for a big company, to working for a franchise.

 

In this episode, we’ll cover:

 

 - How to make the decision between a franchise and working as a sole trader

 - The way to utilise power of the group of a franchise, which you might not have as a one man business

 - If you’ve built up a business as part of a franchise, is there anything there that you can sell on?

 - What goes into the decision as to whether or not you’re going to take on any employees

 

This is a fascinating look at what it means to have your own identity as part of a franchise, which Ian has carved out for himself very well. It’s a worthwhile listen if you’ve ever thought about buying into a franchise yourself - or creating one for others to buy into.

 

 

 

You can contact Ian by emailing Ian at ip@independentbankers.co.uk or through the website www.independentbankers.co.uk
