Partner Success Stories

I’ve always been in business, ever since I left University. I couldn’t ever imagine working for someone else. A few months ago, I sold my company to my business partner and wanted to do something related to technology.

I looked at lots of options but they either seemed too complicated or too competitive. I wasn’t sure if I would find something but then I discovered iOB Business.

What was different about them compared to others was how simple the technology looked to use. I’ve always been good at sales and I know technology is the future. This seemed like a good fit.

I spoke to the team and I was impressed by their knowledge and passion for helping people like me succeed.

I feel excitement every time I visit a potential client as I know my services can add value. I would recommend iOB Business to anyone that is serious about going into business.

I had been working in a corporate environment for a number of years and didn’t seem to be progressing. I was stuck in the same routine doing the same tasks over and over again and not earning enough.

I felt frustrated and trapped. There was a part of me that knew I needed to make a change.

When I discovered iOB Business, I was initially unsure, as I had never run my own business, let alone something technology-based. But the team were really patient and explained how they would support me from day one with a clear plan. It just felt right.

I realised during my training session that I made the right choice. There are so many different types of businesses I can help with my solutions.

I feel in control. I feel in business. I can manage my time and set my own targets but I know the team at iOB Business will be there to help me.

After having left school and having thrown myself into a large number of manual jobs, I began to get older, and therefore, I decided to look into novel ways to reduce the physical and mental pressures that came with my job, and hopefully enhance my daily life.

For a long time, I’d been frustrated by my strict work schedule, and lack of free time to spend with my family, and therefore the idea of being my own boss appealed to me.

Having had no experience in starting a company, I looked into franchising, and I discovered iOB Business. Despite living a long way out from the headquarters, the team was able to cater to my needs and guide me through the process of setting up my Digital Agency.

The team at iOB Business were enthusiastic and passionate, and had no problem with showing me the ropes, as their overall goal was to see me succeed.

Thanks to iOB Business, I no longer feel overwhelmed, but rather satisfied by the feeling of helping small business owners in my community navigate the online world

During the pandemic, like many, I was made redundant. This gave me an opportunity to take a step back and really focus on what I wanted to achieve in my professional career.

I no longer wanted to rely on others and instead I wanted to be in control of my future. I’ve always been interested in technology and business but I felt I lacked the skills to really succeed as an entrepreneur.

I researched different ideas and quickly realised that there was a huge demand for local businesses to utilise digital solutions to connect with their customers online.

I came across iOB Business on social media and I was intrigued by their overall package. The team walked me through their vision and it was fascinating to get an insight into the life of a franchisee.

I was sold on the idea and could see myself helping businesses from day one. Fast forward to the present and I have a growing number of customers who are dominating online. Thanks to iOB Business, I now feel in control of my future.

Not too long ago, I was made redundant by my employer. It didn’t come as a surprise to be honest as the company’s performance had declined over a number of months. But faced with the reality of redundancy, I was at a crossroads in my life.

I was unsure about whether I wanted to look for a new job or try something different. My friend suggested going into business but I felt scared. I’d always wanted to run my own business but never really thought it was possible.

I came across iOB Business when I was searching for business ideas online and it caught my attention. It seemed to clear up a lot of the doubts I had in my mind about starting a business.

I attended a meeting at their office and it really opened my eyes to how much planning goes into launching a business. Thankfully, iOB Business takes care of it all and I was ready to get started in under 3 weeks.

I’m excited to see what the future holds. I have a few clients in the pipeline and I feel proud of my journey so far

After having worked in the same monotonous corporate environment for many years, I felt bored, trapped and unmotivated.

I wanted to face a new challenge, something that not only allowed me to apply what I had learnt in my previous job role, but also gave me a sense of satisfaction, from knowing I had made a difference.

I’d always heard of old school friends owning successful businesses, so naturally, I began there. Only upon researching ideas, did I realise the time, capital and risk involved. Luckily iOB business solved my problem.

Having had no experience in the technology sector, at first, I was hesitant, however, the welcoming team at iOB Business helped me through not only training days, but targeted 1 to 1 support, as and when I needed it.

Now, having secured a steady pipeline of clients, I now not only have stability, but also get to regularly interact with people and businesses local to myself, which enlists me with a sense of pride, and motivates me to succeed more.
