Working under an established and respected brand name such as EcoShine has obvious benefits. With low upfront investment, and a quick and easy start up, you are part of an already well-known and credible company in Europe. That means that the battle is already half won for you before you even start.

As a franchisee, you maintain the advantages of being your own boss with increased security for your enterprise – not only are you following a tried and tested format, but also save time and energy by not worrying about generating publicity to raise the awareness of your firm.

Studies have been done where the franchisees were asked about their attitudes and opinions and experiences regarding franchising. Nine out of ten said that their franchisees have been successful. As many felt that the expectations that existed before the start had been fulfilled. Two out of three did not think they would have been as successful if they started a similar activity themselves.
