Alternatives to Employment

Seasonal Jobs around the World

Whilst Ambient has a wealth of clients covering Spain and Gibraltar, sometimes it just isn't possible to find that "dream job". What does one do in these circumstances?

Starting a business is an option, but then what about the pitfalls, bureaucracy, costs and time involved before you find out whether you business concept is viable, whether there is even a market for such a business!. Once the business is established you still then need to run, manage, develop and cash flow the business. This can be extremely difficult from scratch in a new country.

You could purchase an existing business with a demonstrable track record, but unless you know where to look, this can be littered with overvalued businesses, agents who seek to make higher than necessary commissions, and even some people who are just blatantly dishonest!!!

There is the possibility of purchasing a franchise. Franchises are a great way of establishing your own business as they offer a far greater chance of success because you are using a proven formula, are supported by experienced business professionals and have lots of literature on hand already produced saving time and money when considering launching and branding a business.

We are currently working with a number of organisations who have franchises to offer, examples of which include a franchise retail outlet selling Greetings Cards, Confectionery and home entertainment products (CD's and DVD's), another that offers branded consumables, including clothing, ceramics, writing instruments, executive gifts and golfing accessories (this particular business recently won the franchisor of the Year award from the British Franchise Association). Another franchise provides the opportunity to roll out life coaching and management training to businesses, whilst another offers a proven formula for the development of an office providing cleaning and maintenance contracts.

All franchises available are affiliated with the British Franchise Associations and you can investigate these opportunities safe in the knowledge that you are dealing with reputable, professional organisations.

If you are looking to purchase an ongoing business with a track record, we have a relationship with a company based on the Costa Del Sol who have many Years experience in brokering the sale of businesses in Spain, and who have the knowledge and experience to be able to offer practical, honest advice, and can help select which business opportunity could be right for you.
