Welcome to the Scotland section of the Kyros website. I’m Helen Thompson, the Scottish Regional Consultant for Kyros Franchising Limited (KFL).   KFL was established in October 1999, and specialises in the provision of ‘people’ services to the franchise industry.  We provide a matchmaking service for individuals who wish to acquire either a new (‘ greenfield’) franchise, or an existing franchise ‘resale’. Our focus is on understanding the needs and competencies of the individual, and matching these to opportunities within franchising.  Many prospective franchisees who use the Kyros matchmaking service do not have a specific type of franchise in mind when they first contact us. They like the idea of owning their own business and want to find a concept which will enable them to fulfil their ambitions. A key feature of the Kyros service is the identification of the profile of franchise concepts which could suit the prospective franchisee; this is likely to include investment level, management or ‘job’ franchise, home-based or premises-based, B2B or B2C etc. We work with a range of franchisors, whose concepts are thoroughly proven, and who have territory availability across Scotland; they would normally be members of the British Franchise Association. If you have an interest in Business Ownership through franchising and would like to see how Kyros can help you achieve your ambition then please continue to the main Kyros site where you can see if we can help. You can register there if you’d like me to call you to discuss our services and your interest.  I hope you enjoy the site and your experience of it and look forward to meeting you at some point in the future perhaps. Regards Helen Thompson
