Take a look at three franchise business examples
If the Automotive industry is your area of interest, Autoglym is worth looking at. Initially established in 1996, the brand has gained valuable experience and expertise over the past 24 years. By joining its network of 65 franchisees, you could contribute to this brand's success. Initially, you would need to invest ?50,000 to get your own Autoglym business up and running. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not recommended for first-time franchisees.
Have a look at Etyres. Launched in 1996, Etyres now has over 24 years of experience under its belt.
Finally, another option worth considering is The Wheel Specialist. The brand is expanding, with 30 outlets already in operation, and a desire to expand further. This business requires a substantial initial investment of ?160,000. If you plan on getting 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 Wheel Specialist business 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.
