Today we are going to focus
on a franchising idea that was mooted by Mr Nazir Daud. He has lived
in Ireland for more than 35 years and the idea struck him after
finding difficulties in sourcing for local businesses there one time
ago.
Mr Nazir Daud’s business
franchise sounds simple but brilliant! His business franchise does
not really require a big physical office to run the business. As
matter of fact, the whole thing can be run at home. Splendid! The
business is all about creating a local directory of specific Irish
city or town where local small businesses there can advertise their
businesses on your directory website for specific fees. It doesn’t
just stop there, Businesses who advertised on any of City Local’s
websites would be able to post vacancies and job opportunities for
free until of course City Local would later decides to charge.
City Local also provides
free opportunities for local job seekers to post their resume and CV
on their websites thus providing local companies easy access to the
local job seekers. Site visitors would also be able to rate local
businesses and Mr Nazir Daud claims that this is the first time
anyone would be doing this anywhere in the world. Local users may
also sell or rent their properties and promote local events and
happenings online too! Frankly speaking, the potential of this
business franchise is enormous.
If you are an Irish local
that has been living in any of Ireland’s cities for quite some time,
you should consider taking up this business franchise. The cost of
starting up one is quite small and you can reap all profits as
projected by Mr Nazir Daud within 2 years. You may contact him at
nazir@citylocal.co.uk or call him at
0795 859 4451 for more
details. Alternatively, you may also download his

Personally as a business
person, I do find his franchise business as something that got real
potential. Even tough there are a lot of so called business and
community portals out there in the Internet today, are they really
helping users? I am sure that you would agree that most of them are
too generic. Business service ran by true locals such as City Local
can indeed provide clear guide to local users within specific cities
and towns anywhere in the world. The best thing that I can see from
this sort of venture is that it requires little capital and
manpower. A single person could practically run this from the
comfort of their homes. Sahabatul Ventures may look into this
further in the future. Where there is potential, Sahabatul Ventures
would be there smiling. :)
