Franchising is so successful primarily because of the systems and processes franchisees use to operate their businesses profitably and efficiently.

Our systems, processes and support have won National Awards and ensure our franchisees are able to enjoy running their own, successful and profitable business.

Community Times offers its licensees the opportunity to own and operate a high quality glossy magazine and internet business in a local community. Our systems, support and training ensure the business is very simple to operate. For each edition, we provide an electronic template of your magazine which has the style, layout and structure of the magazine. The template contains professionally sourced, designed and written articles, reviews, recipes, puzzles, competitions etc. Licensees simply add local community information and advertisements to generate revenue.

Once the template is complete it is returned to us by disk or uploaded directly into our processing and proofing system. We organise and manage all of the printing, distribution and publication of your magazine including a free digital edition.

Following on from our success at The National Business Awards 2008 we have delivered further significant enhancements to the systems and processes including;

• Celebrity Covers
• Celebrity Features & Interviews
• Special Editions e.g. Town Guides
• Additional Monthly Features & Articles
• Free Training Seminars across the UK
• Enhanced Proofing System
• Updated Website Design releasing shortly

We have enjoyed over 3 years of successful growth in partnership with our franchisees.

The Franchise Package has been continually developed to ensure our franchisees retain their significant competitive advantage by using our award winning SYSTEMS, PROCESSES & SUPPORT.
