Tek Temel runs the Western Sydney Franchise. Here’s what he has to say about his experience as a franchisee so far.

“I have been fortunate to find Talbot Auto Doors Franchising during my search to either start a new business or purchase an existing one.

It didn’t take me long to realise that the financial risk of starting my own business was too high, considering the time it would take to bring the business up to a point where I can draw a decent income.

I then started hunting to purchase an existing business or franchise, and found Talbot Auto Doors through DC Strategy.

James (DC) was a great help who provided business performance documents, financials and anything else I needed.

James set up meetings with Talbot Auto doors, and after going through all with a fine-toothed comb, I wanted in.

DC Strategy helped me set up the franchise, and pointed me in the right direction regarding financing.

With the experience of James, getting started was easy. Franchising Talbot Auto Doors Western Sydney was the best decision I made and two years on I haven’t looked back.

I’m really enjoying my franchise journey. The business model is sound, the work management system is excellent, the technical and manpower support from Talbot Doors is fantastic.

My business is flourishing and my son has also joined me. I now make a good living and planning for my family’s financial future is now a pleasure.”

Wellington Airport is now home to Ben & Jerry’s most innovative store yet.

As franchising specialists, we often meet with business owners who look to franchise their business by only obtaining the necessary legal documents. In most cases, these business owners struggle to succeed in the competitive franchise market because they skip the integral research, strategy and planning stages of franchising that are specific to their business offering.

We’ve worked with many entrepreneurs and business owners, and if there is anything they have in common, it’s that they are ambitious and focused on the big picture. That’s why many business owners look to franchise their business when they have reached a certain level of success. Franchising is the logical next step when your business has a proven concept, is profitable and operations are established and functional.
