An element of the Cartridge World franchise that is regularly praised by franchisees is the quality of training and continual support they receive. As part of the business is very much hands on, it is essential to get an understanding of the day-to-day running of the business and it is important that support does not stop when the store opens for business.

As you would come to expect of a company with 20 years experience in the industry, the training is of the highest standard. Cartridge World have designed intensive training which will give you the very best start to your new business. Franchisees receive training in every aspect of the operation and provide them with a detailed business operations manual, comprehensive technical manuals and computer software. The program includes technical information, purchasing and stock control, administration and bookkeeping, plus sales and marketing.

Franchisees are not left in the lurch. During the first week of business, a member of the support team from Cartridge World head office will be present in the store to give help and advice to ensure that the operation is running smoothly.

And it does not finish there. Franchisees are encouraged to call the support staff at head office at any time if there is anything they need to get help with. Regular visits from HQ business development staff and regional meetings to discuss market developments are part of the support.

What they all have in common is the vision and belief in an industry that is rapidly expanding.
