Bloomtools franchisees have the choice of running their business either from a shopfront or from a home office. Initially, most franchisees will choose to operate their business from their home or a small office, because they will have a fairly flexible schedule and will not require a full office.
However, as a franchisee builds their business and takes on more clients, it will be necessary for them to have a shopfront or office to operate from, so clients can come to them and so they can hire staff. If a franchisee chooses to operate from a shopfront, it must be designed and fitted out to match Bloomtools’ specifications.
Initially, Bloomtools franchisees can effectively operate their business without the assistance of staff. However, once the business starts growing and the number of clients increases, you will need to hire an administration assistant or project manager to help run the business and potentially more sales people to help grow your business.
Bloomtools Head Office provides a comprehensive initial training program for all our franchisees followed by regular workshops, seminars, online training sessions and business coaching that cover the full spectrum, including:
- Sales and lead generation
- Customer Relationships Management
- Industry knowledge and standards
