Enjoy business support better than you could imagine

Since taking the step in October 2021 to join dns accountants, Vishal Ballee has found the support he’s received from the Franchise to be even better than he’d imagined.

Vishal worked for a number of large companies before franchising with dns accountants. For several years he’d nurtured the dream of running his own practice, but knew if something was worth doing it needed to be done right.

Understanding the value found within the franchise industry, Vishal wanted the kind of head start on success joining a franchise could offer him. “Starting your own business is challenging,” Vishal explains. “You’re on your own and don’t have the support structure of a bigger company behind you. Suddenly, you go from working with others to being a one man team! It’s quite daunting. Which is exactly why I chose to start a dns accountants franchise with my wife, Johanna – their support has been there from day one.”

At dns accountants, we strongly believe in the concept of being in business for yourself, not by yourself. Our franchisees are very much in charge of their own businesses, but they benefit from being connected to something bigger. After all, we’re not looking for more employees. We’re looking for partners with whom we can work as we grow the brand.

This means doing everything we can to support their success – something which was an attractive prospect for Vishal. “It wasn’t just the support which attracted me to dns accountants, though it was a hugely important factor. I received a warm welcome from the team right away. I researched other franchises, but they weren’t the same. I felt like I was just another number to them. But with dns accountants it was very different. I immediately felt as though I was dealing with people who would be on my side every step of the way.”

Vishal signed his franchise agreement with dns accountants in October 2021 and began his comprehensive training on how to make best use of our innovative systems and business model. With the backing of the head office team, he was able to make sure everything was in place for his new practice and opened for business in early January 2022.

Since then, Vishal has been working very closely with the dns marketing team. Together, they’ve successfully combined the brand’s reputation, expertise and customer appeal with his own ambition and business acumen to win him almost 400 clients within the first six months. 

“I was expecting it to be a lot harder, to be honest!” he says. “I mean – wow! There’s been so much to take on board, but dns accountants does exactly what they say on the tin! Support has been available any time, and the back office team has been just fantastic. They know exactly how to appeal to customers and everything is so well organised and structured I started seeing results immediately.”

Whilst the success of your new business is, in the long run, down to you and how much hard work you put it, dns accountants can ease the pressure of those difficult first few months. From outsourcing so you hit your new customers’ targets, to helping you advertise to local businesses, and generate leads, our franchise package is designed around your success. “dns gave more than I expected. I don’t think there’s anywhere else where I’d have had these opportunities. My advice to anyone thinking of joining: You really can trust the dns model. Planning to leave your job and start something of your own can be a tough decision. But with so much support offered by the Support Team, there’s no reason to worry. This is a great time to join dns accountants!”
