Can you tell us about your professional background?
I initially developed my professional experience in the retail sector before gradually moving towards project management.
This evolution allowed me to acquire solid skills in site coordination, project management, client relations, and overseeing various trades. These experiences also helped me better understand client expectations and the essential requirements for successfully completing a renovation project.
Why did you choose to redirect your career into a different field?
I wanted to give a new dimension to my professional journey by developing an activity where I could be more involved in supporting clients and in the overall management of their projects.
This reorientation represents a great opportunity for me to combine my hands-on experience, my organizational skills, and a more entrepreneurial vision of my profession.
What attracted you to the renovation sector?
Renovation is a dynamic, tangible sector that carries meaning. It allows for the transformation, improvement, and enhancement of real estate while addressing very concrete needs for individuals.
I particularly appreciate the diversity of projects, the human contact, and the satisfaction of seeing the results take shape. Each site is different, with its own challenges, constraints, and objectives. It is precisely this variety that makes the profession exciting.
Why did you choose to open your business as a franchise?
Franchising allows you to benefit from a proven business model, structured support, and effective tools while maintaining your independence as an entrepreneur.
For me, it is an excellent balance between autonomy and security. This model enables you to develop your business under good conditions, with the support of a network, tested methods, and a solid organization.
Why did you select Avenir Rénovations as your franchisor?
Avenir Rénovations stands out for its recognized expertise in the renovation sector, the quality of its support, and the performance of its digital tools.
I was also drawn to the human values upheld by the network and the support offered to franchisees. The development potential provided by Avenir Rénovations was also a determining factor in my choice.
How did you learn about the Avenir Rénovations network?
I discovered Avenir Rénovations during my research on franchise networks, particularly at a trade show.
After several discussions with the network team and a more in-depth study of the concept, I was convinced by the robustness of the model, the relevance of the support, and the development prospects it offered.
How would you describe the initial training you received?
The initial training was comprehensive, structured, and very enriching. It allowed me to quickly acquire the necessary knowledge about working methods, network tools, commercial management, and the overall functioning of the business.
The support from the trainers was also a real asset. It allows for a more concrete projection into the profession and approaches the launch of the agency with greater confidence.
Do you think you have all the necessary means to launch your agency?
Yes, I currently have the tools, skills, and support necessary to start my activity under the best conditions.
Thanks to the support of the Avenir Rénovations network and my professional experience, I feel ready to assist my future clients in the success of their renovation projects.
