Read on for some testimonials from some of our franchisees
CT was the most business oriented and had the best franchise agreement (even my lawyer said it was good). It was fair, had low ongoing fees and no major obligations or long-term lock in contracts.
When I first decided to look into running my own Computer business, I was looking to develop a business my way with strong support from other franchisees and the master franchisee. I explored several other franchise options however they did not provide the flexibility for me to develop the business my way. Then I came across Computer Troubleshooters and found that it ticked every box.
After a lot of research into starting our own business in IT, we investigated a few different franchise opportunities and Computer Troubleshooters came out on top. We haven’t looked back since we invested in our franchise in 2008. We run our business from a home office location, which makes it incredibly flexible for our work and lifestyle balance. We love attending the conferences every year and catching up with our Computer Troubleshooters family and adding more options to our current packages and products.
In 2007 I joined Computer Troubleshooters as it provided me with the opportunity to start up, run and grow my own business, whilst allowing me to have a flexible lifestyle. Prior to CT, I had 15 years’ experience in corporate IT as a technician/IT Manager, but I had no experience in running my own business.
Computer Troubleshooters has been invaluable in providing marketing material, systems and support to successfully run my own business over the last 12 years. The forums in which other Computer Troubleshooters actively participate provide answers to any business or technical questions.I have focused my business on being a managed service provider (MSP), this allows me to provide a consistent level of service to my clients, in return for receiving a regularly monthly recurring income.
The CT support network is incredibly valuable. In addition to the other CTs throughout Australia who provide technical and business experience support the CT Head Office works to maintain and generate national customers that many CT Businesses work for. Head Office also provides a website, 1300 number and establishes preferred suppliers through which CT businesses can get reduced pricing and elevated support.
It provides piece of mind knowing that going into business your not alone. As well as the training and coaching you have a national network of knowledgeable and friendly franchisees always looking to help each other out where needed.
We started with CT in 2011 and have now opened a service centre. It is fantastic to be working in our business and value the knowledge and support that comes from being with CT.
