Franchisee Focusing On Making Sales to Support Growing Family

Vishal Amin has found a way to balance spending time with his growing family and earning a great take home salary with Dream Doors.

Dream Doors | Vishal AminThe former investment banker joined the UK’s #1 kitchen makeover company early in 2019 and is now the director of Dream Doors Surrey and Sussex.

After earning a degree in financial computing from Brunel University London and starting work, Vishal created a roadmap for his future career.

“I set myself a timeframe of spending no more than ten years in the City before I would want to get out. From day one it’s all been about setting up my own business.

Once I decided the time was right, I started looking for something that I could get my teeth into and call my own.  I’d always seen business opportunities come up in the past, some were franchises and some were not.

I put off making a move a few times, because I always used to think about having that regular pay cheque.

By September of 2018 my wife and I decided to progress things.  With the support of my family, now’s the time to go and do it.”

As a father of one, with another baby on the way, Vishal said he was looking for a business that can fit around his growing family and still earn a great take home salary.

“With a baby on the way, I’m not going to continue commuting to London for an hour each way every day.  I saw the model Dream Doors offers, its support and infrastructure, and a territory was available nearby so I jumped at the chance.”

Dream Doors is looking for more talented franchisees like Vishal who are ready to generate huge profits by representing an industry-leading brand.

There are just 19 new franchise territories available nationwide, particularly in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Scotland.
