Buy your own business

​In this meeting we'll hear from Sarah Heyworth - the Owner of 'Local Treasures' - a tech enabled matching platform which connects people needing jobs doing around their homes with a skilled, local workforce of over 50s who want to use their experience working flexibly well into retirement. (Think gardener, housekeeper, babysitter, plumber, book keeper, companion etc..).

​They've received funding from innovate UK as part of the healthy ageing challenge which has enabled them to set this up as a franchise opportunity. The fees to buy in are low. With a successful business model established, this presents those interested in being their own boss with a real opportunity to do something both financially and personally rewarding.

​Come to this session to find out:

• ​How much it costs to buy in and what income you can expect to generate

• ​How the business model works

• ​How this business supports people aged 50+

• ​If you were to buy in, what your typical week would look like

• ​What skills you need to have

• ​What to expect in terms of support, training, peer to peer network
