Franchise offers solution in difficult times

Despite the economic woes, one business transport company is eager to expand its network as it sees continued growth for its travel services supplied to national customers across the country.

Pinnacle Chauffeur Transport has found that often they have identified prospective franchisees with adequate capital to purchase a franchise only to find they do not have the right skill set and energy to succeed. On other occasions ideal candidates who appear to possess excellent customer service skills and bags of energy are unable to proceed since they have limited capital to commit to purchasing their franchise.

Pinnacle Chauffeur Transport operate a national network of executive private hire MPVs across England, Scotland and Wales. Now, the company has developed a novel way to allow prospective franchisees to ‘test drive’ the business concept, allowing them to see if the business idea, the lifestyle and the commitment is right for them.

Trevor Langley, Managing Director explains, “The opportunity to test a franchise model before prospects fully commit will be of great benefit for both parties”.

Once sure the franchise is right, new franchisees will be given the opportunity to pay for their franchise as they continue to work – ‘drive to buy’ as Pinnacle puts it.
