He embarked upon his search for a suitable property as soon as he had officially decided to partner with Storebox. “You have to invest a bit of time!” So he walked around in areas that were interesting to him, searched on property sites online and reached out to his personal and professional networks. But Storebox itself also supported him. “Storebox headquarters took care of the entire systematic analysis of the location’s potential, but they also helped me in my search.”

However, the support of the franchise managers does not end once the location is up and running. Self-employment is thus easily manageable alongside a full-time job and family life. “Most customer enquiries are handled directly by headquarters; if there’s something I need to do, then I’m informed about it.” Viewing appointments with customers on-site can be individually scheduled by Richard and there are also technical options for emergencies – he can generate a visitor code for the customer and then he guides them through the Storebox over the phone.

Richard’s advice to anyone interested in franchising is to go with your gut feeling first and foremost. “The transition to self-employment is usually not an easy one, but I don’t think it could be much easier than with the Storebox franchise concept. There' s a detailed plan that you can follow”. For him, mutual trust between partners, support and working towards common goals make franchise systems the perfect way to venture into the world of self-employment.
