You startup your own recruitment business because you want to go it alone but does that mean you actually want to be alone?
It’s a tough call. Your dream is to launch and run your own recruitment business. Experienced now, and knowledgeable about the business, you’ve got ideas on how a great consultancy should be run. But it means taking that big step.
And for some, that step turns out to be bigger than they thought. It wasn’t just into the ‘unknown’. It was in to the ‘all alone’.
For argument’s sake let’s say that the ‘would be’ entrepreneur went to the bank and, armed with a sound business plan, got the finance to launch the business. It will have come with some strings of course, including those ‘never to be missed’ monthly repayments, probably an extra outgoing for an insurance policy to cover it and possibly your house on the line as security. But hey! You’ve got the money to start your business.
Funny thing about those ‘strings’. They’ll tie you in, but they won’t tie you together much. The manager who sorted the deal for you will be no expert in recruitment, and frankly you’re just another loan arranged. So, off you go to run your business.
Alone – there’s a lot to do.
Getting launched is enough on its own. On your own. You’ll need to sort premises, and all the kit to operate the business. The IT is a big one. Not just the systems and hardware – but the service and back up. Your branding needs designing. Your website needs building. But, you get there. And, doors open for business you’re ready to rock.
There’s salaries, HR, payroll and taxation of course, but onwards and upwards.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone you could turn to though?
An expert or a mentor? There is … The Recruit Venture Group.
We provide more than financial backing. It’s total support and the great thing about us is that we really do understand recruitment. Yes, we do provide a complete solution for startup recruitment businesses. We give you shares in, and dividends from, your own company. Backed with 100% funding you’ll also have access to our back office systems and support.

But it goes even further than that. There’s someone at senior level always there for you to turn to. Someone who knows the business, and will get to know you. You’ll have the guidance and support of a mentor, but you won’t lose any of your autonomy.
It has to be the way.
