Franchise Reviews

I wanted a franchise that would afford me the lifestyle I was looking for and give me a good work / life balance.

I knew that I was going to work hard, but the one thing that was important to me was the flexibility to manage my own time. I am now working harder than before, but I am able to spend the quality time with my family that I have missed out on for so many years.”

I'd run my own business for 8 years before starting my Lawnscience business, so it was no great change for me. I find running my own business tremendously rewarding, I am building something for myself that has long term earnings potential, I don't mind working hard to achieve this. I particularly like the fact that I am in control and whilst I'm busy all the time doing things like business development I really enjoy it. I don't think there are any 9 to 5 jobs out there nowadays and I'd rather be working the hours developing my own business rather than somebody else's. I have a medium term plan for this business which will give me more control over my future. In the short run I'm working very hard to get it established but even now can decide 'how much work' I take on at certain times of the year. I plan to go multi-van next year and continue growing my business. A full- time employee will no doubt present some challenges but also tremendous opportunities. I always enjoyed management so hopefully it's another area of the job that I'll adapt to. If you've never run your own business before then think carefully about whether it's for you. Self-employment makes the good days so much better, but there will be challenging days. You need self-motivation but the training here is excellent so how busy you are will be down to you.

I wanted a business that I could have up and running quickly and found the backing of an experienced franchisor very reassuring. I researched a few different opportunities but after discovering Lawnscience I quickly decided that it was the franchise for me. It was the company founder, Terence Nicholson, who really sealed the deal for me his passion for the Lawnscience franchise and the lawn care industry was contagious and, having a background in customer service. The training was very helpful, Terry was very thorough with the lawn care training and I felt confident with my skills and knowledge by the time I launched my business. The freedom and flexibility that comes with being my own boss is just great, now I am able to fit in the school run and spend more time with my daughter. I am very happy with how my business is at the moment and I have just taken on an extra van and worker to help manage the demand of my lawn care services.
