About SmartPA
SmartPA franchisees support their clients by remotely delivering a range of admin and business support solutions. Some will act as a virtual PA, while others may offer additional skills such as HR, finance, or social media management.
The franchise will supply you with a bonus client and you will identify and secure your own clients as you build your business. You may also be able to work with existing SmartPA clients (what the business calls ‘insourced’ clients) as part of a wider SmartPA team.
You’ll be supported via a CPD accredited training programme as well as ongoing guidance from a dedicated SmartPA franchise team.
SmartPA summarises its benefits as:
- Government loan available covering the full franchise fee
- 100% home working
- Free client after you launch
- Access to a global community for income opportunities
- Potential to gain income from head office corporate clients
- Flexible working hours to suit your personal needs
- Remote training and continuous learning with full CPD accreditation
- Established brand, sales, and marketing
- Access to innovative technology and IT support
- Dedicated support team for the entirety of your business journey
- Ongoing mentorship for your business
- Tried and tested business in a box - using a model adapted to your needs
How does the SmartPA franchise model work?
You become a SmartPA business owner by buying into the SmartPA partnership (the cost of which can be fully funded by a government-backed startup loan). The franchise will then help you set up your own limited company.
Unlike starting your own business from scratch, where you’d have to tackle all the startup costs, challenges and risks on your own, you’ll have full daily support of a dedicated SmartPA support team, and you will trade under the established global SmartPA brand.
The franchise equips you with all the tools, knowledge, and skills needed to run a successful SmartPA business, including access to the SmartPA Method (best practice, remote working, and service delivery) to pricing, business operations, and long-term growth and development.
SmartPA can be run from home, it aims to require minimum overheads and offer a highly flexible working model to suit your own hours and availability.
The franchise model has been tried and tested globally, with over 200 franchisees operating SmartPA businesses.
What type of franchisee is SmartPA looking for?
SmartPAs franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds.
Previous experience is not essential, but a positive attitude is. With peer-to-peer support, internal networking opportunities, wellbeing groups and much more, the brand aims for you to never be alone or without assistance from an expert.
