There are many advantages to Franchising. When you buy into a trusted name, take on its fame and programs, you can be sure to have a business that people will recognize quicker than a start-up mom and pop-type business. In fact, it's one of the most common business expansion tools. Not only this, but entering into Franchising is like entering into a family: there are other people there who will help you with everything from day-to-day operations...more

Every once in a while, every individual with any 'get up and go' decides that it might be time to get up and go - and leave whatever they feel is holding them back in life. A mundane job; the thought that you're feathering someone else's nest with your labour; or just the desire to be your own boss can all be strong motivators to consider starting your own business.Franchising cuts out all of the 'rock breaking' involved in making the giant step from employment to being your own boss. Without the support of tried and trusted systems, backed up by the knowhow of many years of honing any successful franchise business model, any individual starting on their own not only has to face the hollow uncertainty and loneliness of going it alone but also the exceedingly steep learning curve of actually running a business, instead of being employed within one.CompanionsApart from the phenomenal success rate of franchise businesses compared with normal start-ups, being part of much larger team of franchisees as well as the franchisor themselves, means that you're never left on your own wondering what to do next. You'll have a constant resource available to discuss issues and opportunities with...more

First on your list should be an awning. If you don't already own one then it's worth considering as a purchase, particularly if you are looking to use your caravan all year round. A good awning gives you extra shade from the sun and shelter from the rain, as well as effectively doubling your living space. They can be used as an extension of your caravan for meals and relaxing, or simply as a spacious storage area for muddy boots and bicycles. Remember that if you intend on going away during winter months, when severe rain or wind could occur, then be careful about when you put up the awning as they are can be susceptible to storm damage. Also, check that your caravan insurance covers your awning and any damage it does to the caravan if there is a storm, as many companies exclude storm damage to awnings.Second on your list should be the barbecue, preferably a gas one which can be run from a spare gas bottle or your caravan's external BBQ connection point if one is fitted. Even during spring and autumn months, providing it isn't raining, a BBQ is a great way to cook as it means less mess inside the caravan and generally creates less washing up.Another useful thing to bring along is a...more
