Our Approach
Why Choose a CMC Franchise
With Baby Boomers retiring at a phenomenal rate, who have little or no succession plans in place, and an abundance of ambitious entrepreneurs lacking the experience to grow their businesses, market conditions are ideal for our Business Advisers.
We’re not looking to produce a network of CMC ‘clones’, we provide an established and proven franchise model which allows Business Advisers to utilise their own experience and retain their own identity. We’re here to help you transition into the world of small businesses and will support you throughout your business journey. Your success is our success!

Why Us
Why our franchise is different
A key differentiator is that our Business Advisers stay with their clients throughout their complete business journeys. Helping them grow the business, and then when the owner is looking to exit, they prepare and sell the business.
We don’t use a one-size-fits all framework, our model offers a defined structure with proven, flexible methodologies. This allows you to adapt your approach and guide your client’s success in all areas of their business.
To get you started, we provide a bespoke business plan. This includes, an initial set up training programme to introduce you to CMC’s business model, lead generation skills and techniques, and implementation of a longer-term business plan.
You’re not on your own! We will support you all the way providing coaching and mentoring as well as access to a network of highly experienced Business Advisers to seek advice and support.
Developed over 30 years, our proven portfolio-based model allows Business Advisers to build between 10-15 clients at any one time.

What our Business Advisers say
Jon Corns
Joining CMC has been a game-changer for me. The supportive nature of everyone in the network is commendable. The mentoring from experienced franchisees has been invaluable, ensuring my journey has been pleasantly manageable. The commitment to my success is evident in the tailored support provided, guaranteeing I have all the tools to thrive. This alongside CMC’s impressive brand and proven track record in business sales, speak volumes about the solid foundation I stand on. Proud to be a part of this team!
Simon Scott
Joining CMC helped me to transition my skills to suit the specific needs of owner managed SME businesses. With over 30 years of working with SMEs, CMC fully understand the advice and services that will benefit business owners, and in turn allowed me to accelerate the growth of my own business.
Tony Maynard
I have been a CMC Business Adviser for 20 years, having joined as a former MD/CEO of organisations in retail, manufacturing, and a Construction Trade Association supporting smaller businesses. When I first joined, I was a typical senior executive with lots of experience except in one particular – the important skill of listening, observing, encouraging clients to think clearly and objectively, and so forth. The CMC environment was crucial for building that experience and confidence quickly and learning to remember that you are no longer a client but a business adviser and must exercise influence accordingly. 20 years on, I am still learning new tricks and the support I receive from my CMC colleagues is vital and relevant.
Rupert Beazley
A great group of highly experienced and professional people, CMC’s focus is on building you a strong and successful business though their excellent training programme and superb materials. They really do make you feel like part of a team that is going places.
Graham Bell
From day one CMC has been very supportive. They provided the right level of involvement from the outset with comprehensive training specifically tailored to get my business moving. I immediately felt like part of the team, but with the skills to work independently. The perfect balance!
