The floristry industry is full of exciting and profitable franchises, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. This specialist industry is growing all the time, so any one of the below opportunities is a fantastic option for an ambitious franchisee.
If you’re looking for a new job role that will allow you to combine plenty of profit with a lot of job satisfaction, you could be an ideal franchisee for a florist franchise.
Why start a florist franchise?
Many industries were hit hard by the pandemic and forced to close either temporarily or permanently. While this affected the florist industry as well, this is an industry that is bouncing back. Not only that, because floristry is a specialist skill, this is a sector that still has a huge amount of demand to come.
The specialist nature of flower retailing is likely to ensure that florists continue to be a strong presence in the market due to the skills required for complex floral arrangements, and for catering for weddings, funerals and other functions. - Ibis World
