My name is Jigar Doriwala. I am the founder and CEO of Tenacious Techies. Our company provides complete digital solutions.

A few years ago we decided to start the global expansion, so we started looking for ways how to find our new franchisees. Last year we noticed the Topfranchise.com marketplace.
Since the time we got listed here, our Franchise pitch has been visited by thousands of people, and a couple of hundreds had left their requests. I would like to share a success story. We received the lead from Topfranchise.com. It was a potential franchisee from the USA, who was interested in becoming a part of our company. Today he operates as our Franchisee in Grove town, USA.

At Topfranchise.com we have a manager, who keeps track of our success. If something goes wrong, we can be sure to receive advice. For the extra advertisement, we used newsletters and banners, which helped to attract more potential franchisees.

We’ve started our franchise international expansion by extensive and expensive offline exhibiting. Soon after we found, that TopFranchise, being picked in rough rivalry with other franchise platforms (literally, tried almost all of TOPs), gives us better results at lower costs. Better in terms of everything like lead pipeline, geography, quality etc. After five years, turning eyes around, we found that 80%+ of our international partners chain brought by TopFranchise.Com. In 2022, we successfully sold our franchise to Saudi Arabia with the TopFranchise team

I have been successfully franchising PunctureSafe for 5 years on UK based franchise websites, both in the UK and overseas, but in September 2019 I decided to advertise with TopFranchise which is a website that gets exposure internationally.
In the time I have been with them I have had a good response, with leads coming in from every corner of the world and from countries you would not expect to get enquiries.

I decided in April this year to increase my budget to get more leads from overseas and explored other websites with an international exposure, but eventually I decided to spend my money with TopFranchise because of the quality of the service they provide. I invested in newsletters and banner listings with them which provided even more leads.

To date the investment I made with TopFranchise has been repaid with lead convertions.
