"I always wanted to find something where I could help other people and in a price bracket that they could afford. When I initially looked at the franchise, it was for somebody else. I looked at a lot of franchises and as soon as I saw CityLocal it was an instant decision. In fact, I liked it so much that I took the franchise myself and I have not looked back."

When I first saw CityLocal, I thought, what an amazing franchise. I have always been looking for something that would allow me to earn a reasonable income and at the same time, give the customer something of real value. And thats exactly what CityLocal does. The help from other franchisees has been second to none. Also, the support from head office has been invaluable. The future is looking so good.
David Lithgow, CityLocal Fareham
"CityLocal is brilliant and I really enjoy it. Every day is different and the support we get is great. With all the new things coming out it is really interesting. The look and feel of the site is really different from everything else out there and the site is really easy to use. The price is right also for local businesses to market themselves with us. I have a strong and loyal customer base and businesses now approach me which is great. Taking this franchise was a great decision for us and I continue to look forward to building this business.
Natalie Aldred, CityLocal
"I find that being a one man business I have great support from head office. I have also found that other franchisees have been very helpful and they are more than just associates now. I particularly like the aspect that as a franchisee, I can contribute to the development of the business as a whole with Head Office. Furthermore, CityLocal is always looking forward and improving and staying ahead of the curve and I am proud to be part of that!
Lee Westwood, CityLocal
"I really enjoy what I am doing and it is very exciting to build a business. I believe that CityLocal or indeed the people behind CityLocal really do intend to keep it ahead of the competitors and they are thinking in the right way in as much as if we make our customers happy, the franchisees are happy and ultimately head office is happy. So everybody is focused on the right chain of events making it a successful company.
Sally Johnson, CityLocal
"I started CityLocal Camden from the training through to today, I have been assisted and helped throughout the whole time. I feel that with CityLocal, a franchisee does get the best of both worlds, as you are given the freedom and control in order to dictate in which direction you wish the business to follow. This has given me the autonomy to build the business up and really develop my own business skills. However, having said this, at any point in time when help was needed, the CityLocal team have also been able to direct and advise me.
Priyesh Vaghjiani, CityLocal
"I joined CityLocal to be self sufficient, manage my own time and manage my own business and income levels. I was looking for something that would tie in with family commitments too. When we first started running the business, it was time demanding, but now I have got to a point where I can run to my own time frame. I am really glad that I have taken this franchise and would have no hesitancy in recommending CityLocal to anybody else.
Joanne Serellis, CityLocal
Billy Milton, the franchisee for the territory of Hemel Hempstead, worked in corporate training before he came across the excellent business opportunity that the CityLocal Franchise offers. He was interested in finding a business model that was current and unique. Billy says "I worked in Corporate Training and was looking to get involved in a marketplace that was growing. I came across CityLocal and it was almost an instant decision to take the franchise as it clearly offers a fantastic service to local businesses! I believe that online business promotion is the future of advertising and I also have a passion to see local businesses prosper and find cost effective ways to promote themselves. I loved the website and the marketing material and I am really impressed by the Head Office backup and the depth of experience that is available for me to tap into."
Billy Milton, Hemel Hempstead, CityLocal
"The reason I have joined the CityLocal community websites is because of the ease of everything to do with the community portal. I love the local aspect where you can help businesses in your own area. I like the whole concept and the fact that I can run this internet business from home. I am looking forward to launching my new local business directory."
Kieran Sheil, CityLocal
"We are in our fourth month now and already we are making 2,500-3,000 per month profit from the mail drops, and that is just me from start to finish. There is good profit here and it is a good supplement to the main business model of selling web adverts."
