Managing Director/Regional Business Owner

We are hiring in Switzerland.

After our successful launch in Switzerland, we are now ready to sign up Associate Franchisees - starting with Luzern andZug - as part of our expansion across the region.

About the Job

Are you an entrepreneurial leader with the drive to make a real impact in the SME market? Do you want to lead a proven business model in one of Switzerland’s most vibrant regions?

We’re looking for independent Regional Regional Business Owners and Associates in Switzerland. Focus on Zug and Luzern.

We are a leading SME-focused business consulting & mentoring franchise, empowering small and medium-sized enterprises with tools and strategies to achieve sustainable growth. Our model is built on over a decade of proven success, practical solutions, and a track record of helping businesses thrive.

This is a great opportunity for a business professional to set up their own turnkey SME business consultancy in Switzerland. You won’t (just) be an employee—you’ll be building and leading your own business with the backing of an established and successful franchise model. We are therefore looking for business-savvy individuals with an adventurous spirit who understand both the challenges and the rewards of operating as an entrepreneur.

You are either a business owner or as a senior executive with a general management background (or expertise in at least two or more functional areas) or currently working as a senior level independent consultant or coach. As this is an opportunity to become part of a team operating within an exclusive, franchise-held area, your investment gives you access to a proven model, comprehensive training, and a suite of tools and products to help you succeed. It’s an excellent chance to start contributing and gaining experience now, with the option to step into your own franchise territory in the future.

If you're passionate about SMEs, have a genuine interest in people and helping them succeed, and want to set up your own business consultancy practice, then this could be the perfect fit for you.
