franchise with Travail
Travail Franchise
Recruitment is an established and flourishing market sector. We should know as we've been doing this since 1977! Our National Network consists of both franchised and wholly owned branches, so not only do we offer a franchise business model but we run it too.
We are members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and according to them the market has an annual turnover of £29 billion, someone finds a permanent job every 21 seconds with the help of a Recruitment Agency, whilst 19% of companies using temporary staff state they wouldn't be able to operate without the use of temporary workers.
Flexible working practices, ongoing skills shortages, fluctuations in output, seasonal demands and legislative burden all contribute to the countless opportunities to supply temporary staff, both in volume and as one off arrangement, and source suitable candidates for permanent roles.
A Travail franchise offers you the opportunity to build a lucrative and sustainable business. Turnover can be high, with profit margins that are the envy of our industry. Our business extends across countless industry sectors with numerous operating divisions. Our strength comes from being locally owned and locally managed giving us the ability to work with companies at a local level and truly understand their working culture and business environment. With comprehensive, ongoing training, you are able to develop your business to complement not only your previous experience but also to maximise the opportunities predominant within your geographical territory.
As a Travail franchise partner, not only will you have the opportunity to integrate into a nationwide network of like- minded owner operators, you will be granted an exclusive territory with multi branch potential. Working to a proven business system, utilising the Travail name, branding and materials allows you the opportunity to become quickly operational.
We will supply you with many elements of your operational infrastructure: Operating Methods, Head Office support, Corporate Training, dedicated temporaries payroll and client invoicing and the Travail website.....
......And do our utmost to support and develop your people too, offering; dedicated Franchise Support, Corporate Learning Centre Training programs, bespoke training and coaching, the combined knowledge of your fellow franchisees and franchisor and absolute commitment to the belief that your success is our success.
Franchise Territories
Our franchise offices supply temporary and permanent staff to companies within a protected territory, large enough to incorporate a multi site network allowing you and your business the opportunity to grow. Each franchise is its own local recruitment business and uses the strength of our national brand to build its reputation.
Territories are carefully selected to ensure that there is sufficient potential to develop a strong, viable business. You will be the only Travail office trading in your territory, whilst also having the having the opportunity and support to develop relationships with neighbouring offices and enhance business opportunities.
Offices operate from town or city locations, ideally comprising two or three staff during the start-up phase, with the option to increase head count as you develop. All offices use the same proven quality accredited systems and have access to a comprehensive range of head office, payroll and field support functions.
We consider applications for all areas in the United Kingdom where we are not already represented. Get in touch to discuss your area.
Investment and Rewards
The total investment requirement, including initial set-up costs and provision for working capital, will vary related to head count, location, and speed of growth and if you choose to factor your business. We will be happy to discuss options available to you at the time of meeting, including the Enterprise Finance Guarantee.
The initial franchise fee is £12,000, which includes a stationery and marketing pack to get you started, training and payroll software.
Growth and speed of payback will depend on many factors, not least amongst which will be access to working capital and the level of investment that is devoted to staff headcount, training and development. Whether investment in headcount is carried out straight away or as the office develops over time, we have found a direct causal link between the number and quality of recruitment consultants working in an office, whether company or franchise owned, and the results of that office.
