Tasks and Responsibilities of the Office Owner

The Office Owner is responsible for a wide variety of tasks in this franchise formula.

Setting up an Office Location

Initially, the Office Owner is responsible for finding and setting up an office in a suitable location of 150 to 200 square metres. The office must be completely furnished for professional use with initially 12 work spaces. It needs to be equipped so that an Independent Specialist can perform his professional activities with all necessary equipment and services present.

Recruiting and Selecting Independent Specialists

As soon as the office is established, the Office Owner starts recruiting and selecting Independent Specialists (entrepreneurs in business services). A great many ways have been devised by BUSIOP to make contact with these prospective BUSIOP Specialists. During this process of recruiting and selection, the Office Owner explains the advantages and disadvantages of the BUSIOP system for the Independent Specialist. The prospective Specialist could be either a starting new entrepreneur or an experienced entrepreneur who has been active for years but who recognises the benefits and synergy of participating in the BUSIOP network.

Supporting Independent Specialists

Next to managing the office and office procedures, the Office Owner is also the one to support the affiliated Specialists in their entrepreneurial activities. Often we see independent specialists who are very good at their craft but who are less successful at managing their own sales, communication or administrative activities – activities that they must do as entrepreneurs in addition to their profession. Think acquisition, implementation, billing, collecting, liquidity, growth and, of course, balancing private life and business. It will always be the case that the Office Owner makes the Independent Specialist aware of the need of the various activities but that it’s the Independent Specialist’s choice to decide when to actually do them. It must be very clear that it is not the Office Owner’s task to support the professional activity other than by providing the necessary adequately equipped and staffed office space.

Expansion

Even with an office described earlier, the Office Owner can earn a very good income. However, most Office Owners will be happy to have the opportunity to look for new or additional office space when the current office is full in order to expand.

The Challenge

The Office Owner has the challenge of making his office the best and most professional ‘one-stop shop’ Full-Service Office in the business services business in his area. Quality, professionalism, team spirit and reliability are of great importance!
