On the road again
I spent most of June on the road, or should I say in the air. I was in Geneva, Paris, and Vienna to discuss franchising with two new clients–Ski Republic and Novum Publishing. Both companies are turning to franchising to expand their well-established businesses internationally.
Ski Republic is a new kind of ski equipment hire company which has done to skiiing what Ryanair did to air travel. It has revolutionised the business by offering personal service for much less than the traditional operators charge. Ski Republic has 27 shops in some of the most popular resorts across the Alps and their move into franchising comes as a result of more than 100 inquiries from potential franchisees. Already master licences are being optioned for Austria and Switzerland and the scope is enormous.
What makes this an exceptional franchise opportunity is the money people can earn for just six months work in the winter season. Profits can exceed €100,000. Earnings apart, franchisees get the bonus of working in some of the most beautiful places on earth!
Novum Publishing is also a very attractive franchise. It’s the No.1 co-publishing house in Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Germany. Since 1997 they have helped hundreds of authors to get their books published. The company provides a complete editing, design and quality print service and promote their works at publishing events and international book fairs.
Recognising an increased demand in the co-publishing market Novum intends to grant franchises throughout Europe in the 12 months.

Well this is a very great development!It’s nice to hear new investors coming in. This implies more investment opportunities, more new investors, and more revenues for the franchise industry. This is very interesting at this time when economic slowdown is strongly felt everywhere. In my franchise guide, I present useful steps, tips and information for future franchise investors to refer to.
