Dean Watmough, Managing Director of ORCA Websites believes that the reason the ORCA Websites Franchise is proving to be so popular, is because small businesses up and down the country are realising that the Internet is the lifeline they need to make it through the recession.

“We are perfectly poised to take advantage of the current economic conditions as more and more local businesses look to the Internet to help them become more profitable.”

ORCA Websites is currently enjoying unprecedented demand for its franchises, with 3 territories now being allocated this month and several more to follow.

Dean continues, “There is no doubt that the current economic climate and huge changes in the job market are behind the upsurge in Franchise enquiries. The people we are speaking to are seeing this as a huge opportunity to put their skills and knowledge to good use and invest in a successful Franchise that ticks all the right boxes.

“Working with over 1000 clients and 60 Franchisees and over 1000 local businesses across the UK within the SME business sector, we’ve built our reputation on delivering on our promises and getting results.” 

In further good news, industry body Nielsen Online has revealed that online retail traffic has increased by 10% in the past year and that online sales are projected to rise by 12% by the end of 2009.

“One thing is certain,” added Dean, “the Internet is the future of business. The public expects a business to be online and any business that does not have a professionally designed website simply will not survive. When you realise that there isn’t a business in your local area that you can’t help, you’ll see just how huge this market is!”
