Three franchise business examples

If you'd like to open your own Professional Services business, Bartercard UK might be a great option for you. This brand is developing, counting 75 locations in the UK. A total of ?6,000, a reasonable initial investment, is required to start a Bartercard UK franchise. You might want to consider getting a loan to cover the startup costs, in which case at least ?2,000 of the total investment should come from your personal funds. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. If you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial aid.

Driver Hire is another interesting investment opportunity if you plan to invest in the Professional Services sector. Launched in 1983, the company has built strong customer loyalty over the past 37 years. The brand is growing, with 100 outlets already in operation, and a desire to expand further. To start your business, you will need an initial investment of ?40,000. If you intend to get a loan to cover the costs of opening a franchise, a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total amount will generally be required. For Driver Hire, the minimum personal investment is ?32,000. The higher startup costs make this an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. Financial support is available for eligible franchisees.

Lastly, Business Partnership could be another good option for you to invest in. By joining its network of 19 franchisees, you could contribute to this brand's success.
