There are over 800 different franchise brands trading in the UK - some outstanding, some to be avoided! Many different vertical markets - from embroidery to employment agencies, from executive coaching to cartridge refilling.
Investment levels go from £15K for a man & van product distribution concept, to £500K+ for the opportunity to develop and run a national Master Licence.
Types of business styles run from 'Lifestyle' franchises which allow you to organise your business diary to suit your personal life (eg home-based, white collar executive concepts) to major retail operations, where the business hours are determined by others. There are executive franchises, where in effect you are working for yourself, and have no employees; and on to management franchises which can turnover £1M+, and employ 20+ staff.
