Business analyst spots a good investment with 9Round

As a business analyst Pratik Patel knows how to spot a good investment, so when he and his wife wanted to set up their own business, they chose the 9Round Fitness Franchise Opportunity.

Pratik initially looked at joining a 9Round as a member. ”We soon realised that 9Round would make a great investment," he says.  Alongside two other business partners they decided to opt for the multi-club approach and now have five clubs within the London region.

"9Round clubs are smaller than traditional gyms, so it's easier to find sites, and the investment required is lower, starting around £115,000 a club," says Pratik.

"It's our first venture into business together and it's great experience. We have reduced the risk by investing in several sites, and the 9Round franchise head office team is exceptionally supportive. I come from a family that has always run its own businesses, but I knew little about the fitness sector or franchising, and 9Round has supported us all the way.”

Pratik says: "It was great to get in at the beginning of 9Round's UK expansion. It’s been exciting to break new ground and you get direct interaction with the UK Office, who are always keen to help you make a success of your business.  It was this approach that convinced it was the right to expand from three to five clubs.”

"I have a good job in financial services so I could have just banked my savings, but I wanted the rewards of running my own business and could not let the 9Round opportunity pass by."
