Opinions from the franchise industry

For us, the Business Community is the service portal for our franchise partners. All offers, services and benefits are bundled here and can be accessed via a single web address. Our franchise partners are always presented with the latest offers via the monthly newsletter and can use these for themselves or their employees. Our franchise partners use this service regularly.

Holger Blaufuß
Senior Manager - Franchise McDonald's Germany Inc.

One business idea - many winners. That's how we describe the Bodystreet franchise culture. The purchasing advantages for our franchise partners through the selected offers of the business community also contribute to a sustainable partnership.

Matthias H. Lehner
Managing Director and Founder - Bodystreet

The successful cooperation with the business community is characterized by a constant exchange of information and the provision of suppliers with top special conditions. The individual support in the planning and implementation of our annual franchise conference is worth its weight in gold.

Matthias Schacher
deputy system manager / management - ZOO & Co. Sales

Independent, but not on your own! That is our motto as franchisors. That's also how we experience the business community. Since we are both a franchise system and a specialized provider of continuing education concepts in the franchise industry, we and our franchise partners can benefit from the advantages of the Business Community on a wide variety of levels.

Andreas Fürsattel
Managing Director - BEIGROUP

The Business Community gives us the opportunity as a small franchise system to benefit from the strength of large systems and thus also to demonstrate another advantage of franchising to our franchisees. The constantly expanding partners keep these options interesting for us and the ease of implementation and use is also exemplary.

Stefan Trippler
Managing director - Rentas

I particularly appreciate the community spirit and the events to exchange ideas with other franchise systems. I have been taking part in the expert rounds and the subsequent networking evening for years and look forward to the exchange and enrichment of the DFV meeting every year.

Ute Steglich
Managing director - ASL

We decided on an Enerix Business Community a long time ago. The flexibility to combine our own suppliers and conditions through the service providers of the business community in a single tool is extremely practical and inspires the franchisees.

Peter Knuth
Managing Director - Enerix

For us, the business community offers a great opportunity to inspire franchisees and interested parties for the system. And through the solutions of the various suppliers, which are adapted to our franchise system, we specifically support the success of each individual franchisee.

Ostoja Matic
Managing director - Lucky Car

Even as a restaurant manager at McDonald's, I took advantage of the benefits for employees and the exchange with the community. Now that I've become a Fishbull franchisee myself, I didn't want to miss out on the attractive benefits.

Guido Lehmann
Franchisee - Sonderpreis Baumarkt

As a young company, the contacts and recommendations were very supportive. I am delighted with the high level of professionalism and the way the business community works.

Dominik Ley
entrepreneur - Care Smart and Repair

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Business Community team for the excellent handling of Renault Leasing. I have been able to benefit from the top conditions several times now and will certainly continue to do so. The special offers are particularly attractive and the support from the dealer is simply perfect. Here they really take care and also respond to the customer's wishes. That really deserves recognition. I am already looking forward to the upcoming offers.

Karsten Mick
Franchisee

I first got to know and appreciate the benefits of the Business Community in 2010. In the meantime, I regularly take advantage of the purchasing benefits. It seems that the Business Community has a solution for everything. However, special praise goes to the extremely nice and courteous employees of the Business Community, who always try to find a solution and regularly do.
