A long time ago now before I started Franchising my business, I was the same. I was doing what a lot of other guys are doing, using Subbies. I was always worried about the implications of the Tax Man querying it.
I’ve had a long relationship with my accountant and he always pointed out the potential problems I could have with HMRC.
I knew I had to find an alternative but I already had experience with PAYE and didn’t really want to go down that road again either.
When a friend suggested Franchising my business I poo-pooed it and said it wouldn’t work.
How wrong was I!?
Franchising my Window Cleaning Business was without a doubt the best move I have ever made. Not only does it avoid the pitfalls of using Subcontractors, but it also allows me to expand my business.
Although initially, the process was expensive and fairly complicated I was lucky to have found the services of an excellent employment law solicitor and Franchise consultant.
Because of my own personal experience and with the backing of a strong legal team, I have decided to
Share the Legal requirements and documentation with other Window Cleaning Business Owners who want to make the move to Franchising their business.
