THE BUSINESS:

The Athena Network is the nationally established brand of the Premier Business Networking Organisation for Women. It provides women business owners with an opportunity to create powerful relationships and strategic partnerships to enable them to develop and grow their business.

Following the ‘Athena Way' you will build several networking business groups and hold monthly meetings at venues you select throughout your own and exclusive territory within the Colchester area. Your franchise will grow as you develop and support your members and inspire them to create successful businesses.

AGENTS COMMENTS:

There are an estimated 7,109 small to medium sized businesses throughout the Colchester area. Business Networking is expected to increase considerably over the next few years which makes this is an excellent opportunity to purchase the Colchester region of a nationally recognised and established Business Networking franchise model aimed specifically at business women.

It is a part-time business and would be an ideal opportunity for a self-motivated, personable individual who wants a perfect work life balance, to earn a full time income for part time hours.

The vendor purchased this region a year ago but it was put on the back burner and never developed, so its huge potential remains entirely untapped. At that time she successfully launched and continues to run the adjoining Chelmsford region. She is willing to share her expertise and give the buyer help and guidance initially and establish a mutually beneficial alliance.

This franchise also carries Athena's 100% No Risk Guarantee which the vendor will explain to any interested party.
