Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Vik Bhatnagar, Owner of Franchises All Over, located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I talk to entrepreneur wannabes, and based on their interests, investment capabilities, and level of involvement, I match them to ANY kind of suitable franchise. I guide them thru the whole process until they actually own the franchise, all this at no cost for my services to them!
Tell us about yourself
In the course of finding the right franchise for me, I realized there was little help available to franchise seekers. That's when I decided to establish my business of being a Franchise Consultant so I could educate, help and match people to the right businesses! As part of "Franchises All Over," I talk to potential entrepreneurs, understand their requirements, and based on their interests, investment capabilities, and level of involvement, I present suitable options to them and guide them throughout the process.
I live in the Fort Lauderdale area, am widely traveled all over the world, am a Bollywood enthusiast, and left a high-paying corporate job to pursue my passions!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I was able to start two businesses at the same time, move across states in the middle of all this, and still make a name for myself!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Knowing what the customer wants! The needs and wants evolve rapidly as the customer learns more about the industry, area, and about themselves!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do your due diligence.
- Know your customer.
- Be the SME in the area!
