We are now actively seeking entrepreneurial business professionals to represent us as Regional Master Franchise Partners in Germany, Austria and Zwitserland (DACH region).
Why I launched thexton armstrong
External events were having a big impact on economies and made it clear to me that most SMEs were ill equipped to withstand external shocks such as the Global Finance Crisis (in later years followed by Covid, geopolitical tensions, an energy crisis and inflation). SMEs needed support at a time they became more cautious to invest in external advisors. This kicked off my search for the best, industry independent tools and methodologies to convince and support SMEs and share them with as many independent business consultants as possible. Hence the launch of the thexton armstrong business mentoring franchise in 2011 in The Netherlands.
Make a meaningful impact
At the heart of our franchise is the belief that SMEs are the backbone of the economy and our latest market research shows that Germany counts over 5M SMEs. Our target market consists of business-to-business SMEs in selected business categories and size, and accounts for almost 50% of all SMEs in Germany.
By helping them succeed, we contribute to the growth of local communities. As a thexton armstrong partner, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your work directly impacts the lives of business owners and drives economic progress.
