Take a look at three franchise business examples
If you're interested in the Automotive industry, have a look at Hometyre. To open your own Hometyre franchise, you will need to invest ?40,000, of which at least ?20,000 should be your own personal investment. You could apply for a loan to help cover the remaining startup costs. These relatively low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees.
The Wheel Specialist could be another good option for you to invest in. By joining its 30 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. To start your business, you will need an initial investment of ?160,000. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the costs of opening a franchise, a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total amount will typically be required. For The Wheel Specialist, the minimum personal investment is ?60,000. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees. A small premises will also be required to operate this business. An investment in this franchise entitles you to financial aid, if eligible. Visit our website for more information.
Lastly, Autoglym is an interesting franchising opportunity in the Automotive industry. First launched in 1996, Autoglym now has over 24 years of experience under its belt. This brand is growing, counting 65 outlets across the United Kingdom. To open your own Autoglym business, you will need an initial investment of ?50,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees.
There are currently 27 available franchise options in the Automotive sector. Take a look at these businesses to see if there's a good fit for you. Plus, with almost 250 alternative franchising options available in different sectors, Point Franchise offers plenty of choice to find the brand that best meets your needs.
