Investing in a franchise

This section provides helpful guides and advice on how to invest in UK franchise opportunities. We discuss the benefits of setting up and growing a franchise over starting a business from scratch. Franchising is a well-established practice which is used by some of the most successful and well-known brands in the UK covering just about every business sector.

Becoming a franchisee is a self-employment business opportunity. It gives you the chance to start your own company, but trading under an established brand and with support available on everything from financial planning to marketing .

For the franchisor, it can sometimes be a way to expand their business more quickly and cost-effectively compared to opening further company outlets, whilst maintaining legal safeguards are in place to maintain brand control, consistency and protection.
