Supported by 
Franchisee Paul Clarke of UK Business Mentoring
Paul Clarke was delighted to find a business that allowed him to utilise the skills he had gained during a 30 year career in finance. Paul opened his UK Business Mentoring franchise in Manchester in 2017. “I always had a desire to run my own business but wanted a framework and support mechanism to ensure success. Mentoring business owners is a priviledge and allows me to utilise all the skills and technical knowledge I have gained whilst supporting owners to achieve their full potential. UKBM were clearly the best I looked at and I did look at many.”
Franchisee Judy and Will Clay of Home Instead
Judy and Will Clay are active members of the Home Instead network and a very integral part of their local community in Kendal, Cumbria. Realising she wanted to step away from the corporate world, Judy began working as a house manager at a retirement development for older people, where she learnt about Home Instead and the exceptional care they provide. “As we shared the ethos of the company, this sparked our interest, we realised that we wanted to become Home Instead franchise owners. As husband and wife team with strengths in both business management and care, we work well together and feel this makes a perfect combination to run a home care franchise.”

Once you get the first one right with the right formula, there’s no reason why you can’t improve it and roll it into the next one and so on.”
