This time last year we were just coming to the end of our first month trading. A year on and what an incredibly rewarding and successful journey it has been. We have seen excellent growth, introduced some new initiatives and supported several franchisors and franchisees. We are also delighted to be working in partnership with some of the UK’s largest franchising brands.
On a service delivery front our business planning solutions continue to grow and this is reflected by the number of professional advisors we have introduced – www.ngifranchisefunding.co.uk/meet-the-business-planning-team/
Our franchise funding solutions have also seen strong growth. Our ability to assess a franchise model and then recommend different funding options and packages helps us to gain a very competitive edge.
Upon reflection some of the top highlights for 2023 included:
1. The International Franchise Show & National Franchise Exhibition
We showcased our funding solutions and business planning services at both exhibitions. Both events were very well attended and it was great to be able to network with the franchising sector. It was also a good platform for our franchising experts to deliver talks on “business plans and funding made easy” and “7 common mistakes to avoid when starting a franchise business”.
2. HSBC Meet the Brands
Being invited by HSBC to their meet the brands conference in November allowed us to be showcased as the premium supplier of franchise planning services and franchise funding solutions across the sector.
3. BFA Members Day
The British Franchise Association (BFA) is the leading organisation for supporting UK franchise businesses. It was therefore a privilege to be invited along to their members day and present information on the opportunities and benefits of using franchise finance.
Being involved in all these events has enabled us to be firmly seen as the leading independent finance provider and business planning experts for the franchise industry. We are excited to see further growth in 2024.
