I was working overseas (Tunde) in the oil industry and with Laide at home in England, it was hard to strike the right work-life balance. After receiving an opportunity for a redundancy package, I jumped at the chance to be at home, although I still felt the pull of wanting to work. That’s how we found franchising and FASTSIGNS. Being complete sign novices, we were definitely nervous but we had help at every turn!
From obtaining finance for purchasing the centre to preparing it for launch, even booking flights to our training in Dallas help was readily available. When we started talking with clients and required assistance through our first projects and installations, we only had to pick up the phone to our business consultant or our mentor. Help was always on hand. With every job completed, we grew with confidence. In March 2023, we’re just short of being 12 months in business but we know we’re on the right path.
We are actively growing our centre through dedicated marketing, sales and production processes, learning something new every day but we find that this makes every day exciting! As we grow, we’ll continue to bolster our workforce with additional team members and we’ll continue to make measured development under the guidance of the FASTSIGNS franchise model.
The best part about our new reality is that we are living together, working together and building a great foundation for our future.
