As the franchise is a home office based enterprise, costs on top of the initial fee are small.
There are franchises available both nationally and worldwide.
Now in its tenth year, WSI Internet is the world’s fastest growing web-based franchise. With a presence in 87 countries across the globe, WSI is continuing its rapid expansion in the UK, aided by the soaring levels of internet usage in British homes and businesses.
ISPs are lowering their prices daily just like long distance phone companies have. More and more people are on the Internet each day. For businesses, having a website is simply not enough. Businesses must have the knowledge of how they can profit from this new technology. It's comforting for businesses to know that they have a partner who is looking out for their ongoing interests throughout the Internet's evolution.
As new Internet technologies emerge and will continue to emerge, as a trained and certified WSI Internet Consultant, you are positioned to assist businesses in capitalizing on these new possibilities. WSI trains franchisees to become Professional Internet Consultants, allowing them to act as a one-stop shop of internet solutions for small and medium sized businesses. Consultants help boost firms’ internet profits by offering a variety of web-based services, while still being able to work from the comfort of their own home.
WSI liken their Internet Consultants to ‘architects’, who assess their clients’ business needs using WSI’s Lifecycle System. Each client is then provided with a tailor-made internet solution, which aims to both reduce business overheads and increase revenues.
Once the internet solution has been formulated, it is then independently built at one of WSI’s Global Production Centres, located in a low-cost, high-tech area such as India or Australia. The clients are then delivered a results-orientated, technologically advanced internet solution at an economical cost.
WSI is looking to capitalise on the huge growth of the internet in the UK, with record numbers of homes and offices now online. It is estimated that over half of the UK population has now gone online at some point, with nearly 10 per cent of internet users logging on for over 20 hours a week.
Businesses are also becoming increasingly reliant on the internet and email systems, with research suggesting that loss of these services severely hampers many firms’ day-to-day operations.
WSI franchisees are both men and women, consisting of all ages and backgrounds. No specific computer or internet experience is needed to take on a franchise, with many of the current 1,000 WSI franchises worldwide working from a home office.
No specific business experience is required for this business. WSI offers you "one of the most complete and comprehensive Training & Certification Programs available among franchise companies today". As a franchisee you are equipped with an extensive on-going Support Program, custom tailored to meet your unique and individual needs along with your own personal success coach during start up.
On top of the franchise fee, potential franchisees have to provide WSI with a ten per cent royalty fee.
As franchisees work from home, there aren’t large extra costs associated with new premises and equipment. WSI estimate that franchisees will not pay much more than the initial £29,800 franchise fee.
WSI offers franchises a comprehensive training and certification programme. E-learning is a main part of the training schedule.
WSI’s unique Client Support System provides franchisees with an ongoing stream of reoccurring revenue from each client. The company also helps franchisees by offering an on-going support programme that is custom-made to meet the unique needs of each new franchisee.
