Here are three examples of franchise businesses

There are many interesting franchising possibilities in the Professional Services sector. Take Bartercard UK for example. The brand is expanding, with 75 locations currently in operation, and a desire to expand further. In order to start a Bartercard UK business, an affordable initial investment of ?6,000 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will usually need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. Bartercard UK requires a personal investment of at least ?2,000. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs alone, you may be able to benefit from financial assistance.

Another option worth considering is CPA Online. By joining its network of 10 franchisees, you could contribute to this brand's success. This business requires a reasonable initial investment of ?14,750. If you intend to get a loan to cover startup costs, you should anticipate adding a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total investment as a general rule. The minimal personal investment to open a CPA Online business is ?7,375. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. If you can't cover the startup costs on your own, you may be eligible for financial aid.

Finally, if the Professional Services sector appeals to you, Business Partnership is another option you could have a look at. By joining its current 19 franchisees, you would become a part of a growing brand network. You will need to invest ?34,000 to open your own Business Partnership business. At least ?20,000 of this reasonable amount should come from your own personal investment. These relatively low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. Good to know: you won't need any premises as you can work from home. If you choose to invest in this franchise, financial aid is available, providing you meet the eligibility criteria.
