The ongoing support provided to franchisees builds on what is delivered on the initial training course. Knowing that a sizeable proportion of a franchisees time will be spent on business development activities, NIC Local invested in a team of Business Development Managers (BDM) to support their franchisees.
With an industry leading ratio of BDM to franchisee, NIC Local supports franchisees through the entire sales cycle from implementing their local marketing strategy through to operational support mobilising the contracts won.
This vital support is available at no added cost for as long as you are an NIC Local franchisee.
NIC Local also understands that administrative tasks that are unavoidable in running your own business and would normally take you away from business development activities which is why, in addition to the BDM support, NIC Local provide franchisees with comprehensive business services support taking care of your invoicing, credit control and payroll.
In addition to business growth, NIC Local franchisees are responsible for the overall management and day-to-day operations of their business. Strong managerial and excellent people skills are essential, along with commercial awareness.
A franchisees time will typically be split between:
You will employ, train, and lead a team to deliver the day-to-day operations, allowing you to focus on working with your BDM to maximise growth opportunities. As your business grows, you will employ supervisors within your business who will focus on operational delivery of the services leaving you free to focus on growth, relationship management and overall strategy.
Investing in an NIC Local management franchise offers a winning combination of benefits, including a proven business model, scalability, and access to proven systems. With the level of ongoing support NIC Local provides, franchisees are set up for success, even without prior experience in the industry.
