Help SMEs accelerate in the UK
Are you interested in taking control of your own future? Craving more freedom and flexibility in your work life? Eager to earn what you truly deserve and make a positive impact on your local SME community? In today’s corporate landscape, it’s likely that you’ve entertained the idea of becoming your own boss and starting your own company.
Well, as independent MD/Business Owner yourself at thexton armstrong, you’ll find the opportunity to launch & run your own business, while benefiting from a strong support structure to help you launch & grow your business. Whether your ambition is to build a team of associates or only service SMEs in your territory in the UK yourself, whether your ambition is local or regional, the choice is yours.
We are now actively seeking entrepreneurial business professionals to join us as Master Franchise Partners in the United Kingdom.
Why I launched thexton armstrong
External events have impacted economies and made it clear to me that most SMEs are ill equipped to withstand external shocks such as the GFC, Brexit, Covid, inflation etc. 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. Since then, we’ve refined our franchise and redesigned our SME proposition and client solutions, allowing you to benefit from over 10+ years experience.
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 the UK counts over 3M SMEs. Our target market consists of business-to-business SMEs in selected business categories and size, and accounts for almost 30% of all SMEs in the UK.
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.
Your role & responsibilities
A business mentor is someone who brings out the best in others, someone who gives them that decisive push. A business mentor is more than a business advisor. It is someone who helps you in word and deed and whom you can trust. He/she has earned his/her spurs and knows what he/she is talking about. Can spar, challenge, offer insight. But above all, it is someone who values the other person, gives them self-confidence, navigates the path to personal growth.
In your role as Franchise Partner you will:
- Successfully participate in our onboarding programs and training workshops
- Establish your own footprint in your regional SME community
- Implement marketing strategies targeted towards SMEs
- Support SMEs in all stages of their entrepreneurial journey
- Deploy our client modules to SMEs in your territory
- Partner with peers on knowledge sharing and client experiences
- Grow your team of Associated Franchise Partners if you want to build a team
