This is the story of one franchise partner who suffered business bankruptcy more than a dozen years ago, before bouncing back to success with the help of one leading healthcare provider.
When Imran Qureshi’s business came crashing down, following the financial crisis of 2008, he was determined to bounce back as quickly as possible. Imran, who resides in the Thames Valley, was certainly not interested in being an employee.
He was keen to become a business owner for the second time and decided he should carry out some research. After a short while considering his options, Imran came to the conclusion that health care was the best route forward.
He admitted: “I went back to the drawing board and the only market I felt was recession proof was healthcare. So I joined up with KarePlus because I didn’t have any experience of this industry. I didn’t know how to start, or where to start, but KarePlus has led me step-by-step to the place where I am today. And I have never looked back since.”
Imran Qureshi currently owns two KarePlus franchises west of London. His territories are Oxford and Reading, and he outlines the advantages of going into business with a company which has been in existence for more than 30 years.
Imran added: “This is a proven model that has access to multiple revenue streams. The business itself has been operating for three decades, and it’s been run as a franchisor for the last 10 to 12 years. I always feel confident there is strength in numbers with this network which now has over 80 offices across the UK. There are also some sites operating in Europe.
“Healthcare is one sector which has proved to be resilient during economic downturns and I would recommend anyone keen to know more about KarePlus to contact their head office in Telford.
“You’ll be given an opportunity to enjoy one of their virtual discovery days which is when their team will guide you through the nuts and bolts of the business. All discovery days include a presentation by their funding partner, HSBC, in which you will learn about the various finance options available.”
