TORONTO, July 13 /PRNewswire/ --
Toronto-based franchise consulting network MatchPoint is pleased to
announce its expansion into the United Kingdom.
The company officially entered the UK last year but has spent that time
expanding its network to over 20 consultants and over 30 franchise clients.
To celebrate this impressive growth, MatchPoint president Nigel Mayne and
other company officials recently ventured overseas for a week of intensive
training sessions and seminars with UK franchisees and franchisors including
ActionCOACH, Sandler Training, Antal International, Tutor Doctor and WSI.
"This is a new business model in the UK and a necessary one, as the
number of franchised companies has increased from about 250 to over 1,000 in
the past 10 years," said Ann Mary Wardman, MatchPoint's vice president of
global development. "There was no way for interested parties to investigate
all concepts, meaning many people were selecting the wrong opportunities for
their skill sets. The same goes for franchisors who were looking for
assistance attracting the right franchisees to effectively grow their brands.
With the experience of our North American operation behind us, MatchPoint is
poised to remain the predominant franchise consulting network in the UK now
and well into the future."
MatchPoint Franchise Consulting Network specialises in matching
individual franchise buyers with the franchise opportunity that is best
suited for them. Services are provided free to the franchise buyer, helping
individuals save both time and money while finding their ideal business.
MatchPoint expects to add 25 consultants worldwide in 2009, with growth
focused in the United States and UK. For more information, visit
