Q
– What qualifications do I need to
become a successful Athena franchisee?
A
– You need to have a strong desire to
succeed in business. You need to be
capable and self motivated. An Athena
franchisee requires good organisational
skills. You must be willing to devote
sufficient time and attention to the day
to day operations and expansions of the
business to achieve sales to cover your
original investment.
Q
– Is my success guaranteed?
A

as a franchisee are greater than

business start ups the failure rate

failure rate for franchised business is
less than 10%. Of these failures 90%
are from the van based sector of the
franchise industry. You can take

putting our effort into making sure that
your business is successful – we assume
you are willing to make the effort to do
likewise – your success is our success,
a partnership.
