This year, we proudly unveil our new brand identity with the launch of the ERA Group, formerly Expense Reduction Analysts.

This decision to rebrand marks a significant milestone in our evolution as a leading franchise opportunity.

Over the past three decades, we have established ourselves as a prominent player in the cost consultancy sector. However, our value proposition extends far beyond just expense reduction.

From enhancing operational efficiency to providing invaluable insights and expertise, we empower businesses to thrive in today’s dynamic landscape, driving transformative change and enabling sustainable growth.

Local knowledge, global reach

Our ‘No Win, No Fee’ value proposition stands as a cornerstone of our franchisees’ commitment to their clients, offering unparalleled value.

Our international network of strategists and implementation experts, or as we like to say ‘thinkers’ and ‘doers’, bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to shrink costs and grow value.

Clients only pay when savings are realized, reflecting ERA Group’s commitment to delivering tangible results and mitigating financial risk.

By invoicing based on the realized savings rather than the time invested, it opens the door for substantial income growth with each successfully delivered project.

Our franchisees come from all types of professional backgrounds across all types of industries. The thing they all have in common is a desire to take control of their lives, earn what they deserve and put their experience to use.

Hunger, proactivity, ambition and energy – combining these core pillars with your corporate experience is the rock-solid foundation from which you can build a truly successful business with ERA.

You must also be comfortable and confident when dealing with people – success is dependent on forging strong relationships with your clients’ C-suite. And the stronger these relationships are, the more areas of each business you will be invited to optimize, thus leading to more hidden profit to uncover and share.

Ultimately, what you put into it is what you get out of it – if you’re driven to succeed, our tried and trusted model and world-class support network can help deliver the results you want.

Sounds like something you want to be part of?

Then we’re ready to hear from you.

The key skills you need to succeed:

• A desire to succeed in business
• Confident and credible professional
• Strong communication and people skills
• Ability to develop and build client relationships
• Experience & familiarity with the corporate world

Choosing to power your future prospects with an ERA franchise is a fantastic choice for many reasons – not least because it presents a low-cost, low-risk opportunity to build and scale a business you’ll be proud to call your own.

Alongside your own personal experience, this powerful combination of training, support and collaboration will equip you with all the tools you need to build your own successful ERA consultancy.

The many benefits of advancing forwards with ERA include:

How does the ERA franchise model work?

The ERA model is based around an attractive “No Win, No Fee” business proposition to clients, with franchisees sharing in what they are able to save their clients. This offers exceptional earnings potential and the ability for you to really get out of the business what you put in – how many people chained to a desk in their employer’s office can say the same?

What’s more, our processes are backed by a steadfast attitude and ethics – treating fellow business owners and clients alike with the utmost respect and values. In short, ERA believes in doing things properly.

Potential returns

ERA’s prosperous business model allows franchisees to build a recurring monthly income stream with typically 60-70% net profit – returns which are made all the more exceptional by the considerably low overheads your business will require.

The financial rewards are what you make them to be.

Typically, solo consultants have the potential to earn a very lucrative 6-figure income – but why stop there? Growing your practice to hire more consultants can see your earnings at least double.

What support do I receive?

We know how tough the first year of starting any business can be, no matter how dedicated you are or how honed your skills may be. That’s why we have cultivated a dedicated in-house franchisee support program to give your consultancy the powerful boost it needs to thrive quickly.

This will cover your initial 2 weeks training followed by regular interactions from our Academy team during your business start-up. We’ll also get your IT systems set up and introduce you to our in-house marketing team before you meet up with your local support team and business mentor.

Your target clients

Your target clients will be businesses with annual turnovers of 10m- 100m+. Leveraging any existing C-suite commercial relationships will see you get off to a flying start, and the experienced ERA support team will guide you thereafter with proven lead generation strategies.

The number of clients you attract is less important than the number of projects – meaning it’s ideal to foster enduring relationships in which clients provide you with multiple projects to work on.

Your investment

Starting up with ERA is a low-cost, low-risk way to grow your own business within a network of like-minded, driven and successful people.

Indeed, there are almost no fixed costs to running your consultancy: there are no printed materials and no essential need for a dedicated office; all you really need is a laptop and a method of travel when required.

There are different territories and licence types available internationally.

One of our team will happily run through the pricing structure on a scheduled call and can answer any questions there and then.

Can I operate the business on a part-time basis?

When setting up a business, the rate of growth will depend hugely on the amount of effort put in at the beginning.

With this in mind, we would recommend that you start an ERA franchise on a full-time basis. That being said, after successfully establishing a pipeline of clients, some franchisees manage to sustain a significant income on reduced hours.

These simple next steps offer complete transparency as we help you map out the journey to owning your very own successful business. There’s no time pressure, and we’re on hand to assist with every question or concern. Once you fill in the form to receive the ERA franchise brochure, these are the next best steps take:
