Nick takes control and soon sees success!
Nick & Louise Starbuck (pictured with their daughter Emily) certainly made a speedy entry into the business to business networking market. After beginning their training in the beginning of October 2006, they launched their first meeting as Business for Breakfast Franchisees by the end of the same month. Since then their business has been very successful in providing business people the platform to make professional strategic alliances.
Before taking on Business for Breakfast franchise Nick had a successful career as the Financial Director of an educational training company. 16 months ago Nick and Louise became parents to their beautiful daughter Emily. In this time Louise took the role of full time mum. Prior to this she was a branch administrator for an insurance broker. Nick knew he wanted to go it alone;
“Starting my own business has always been an ambition of mine. Being an employee can be very frustrating, always having to jump through hoops to achieve career progression was never my thing!”
Nick explains;
“I decided on Business for Breakfast for a number of reasons. Firstly the level of investment required meant that I did not need to take out a large loan to finance the first year’s expenses and set-up costs. The business model provided the means to earn money from the first breakfast meeting and represented overheads as a small percentage of sales revenue. This franchise could also be run from home.”
