"Wanting a change of job, I came across Snack Aid and after only a few emails from Jim Lawlor the franchisor, I arranged a visit to the Snack Aid office in Milton Keynes. I spent a full day with Jim, including going out on the road visiting some sites, and got a good feel of what it would be like to be a franchisee. I also liked the failsafe that I could easily recoup my entire investment if I decided this business wasn't for me, by simply selling off my stock, as there are no fees or restrictions on closing the business, all very fair and comforting. I'm only a couple of months into the business but things are going great! To get the ball rolling Jim sent up the siting team who did a fantastic job of placing my initial snack boxes and this really helped to get me on the front foot. The customers have been brilliant, they are so happy with the quality of the sweets and flapjacks. In fact, since we have placed our Make A Wish snack boxes in a few locations where there was already a competitor's snack box, they have since removed their box because they just can't compete with the quality of our sweets! Snack Aid are fanatical about getting the products just right and it has paid off. I'm making a good living now, but my aim over the next few months is to grow the number of boxes placed to around 400/500 and using the support from Jim and the great database tool this will be easy and stress free to do, It really is a fun and enjoyable job and it feels great being able to work while raising money for this charity. If you are thinking of becoming a franchisee, my advice is to just go for it, you've nothing to lose and everything to gain."
