Three franchise business examples

If you plan to invest in the Professional Services sector, Driver Hire could be a good option. Initially established in 1983, the brand's extensive experience, good reputation and wide exposure are valuable assets. This brand is developing, counting 100 locations in the UK. Opening a Driver Hire business requires an initial investment of ?40,000. At least ?32,000 should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees. Driver Hire could be a good option for you, as the company provides comprehensive training and support. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs alone, you may be entitled to financial aid.

Bartercard UK is another successful brand operating in the Professional Services sector. There are 75 outlets open so far, and the network is expanding. This business opportunity requires an affordable initial investment of ?6,000. You could get a loan to help cover startup costs, in which case your personal investment will typically need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment. Bartercard UK asks for a minimum personal investment of ?2,000. These relatively low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. If you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial assistance. Visit our website for details.

You will need to invest ?14,750 to start your own CPA Online business. At least ?7,375 of this affordable amount should come from your own personal investment. Whether you're an established franchisee or a first-time investor, the low startup costs mean that this could be a good option for you.
