Three franchise business examples worth looking at

If you're planning to invest in the Restaurant sector, check out Auntie Anne's, a brand that launched in 1988. The brand has grown a devoted following over the past 32 years. Franchisees benefit from this company's wide network, which operates across 2,000 franchise locations. This business opportunity requires a substantial initial investment of ?145,000. 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. Auntie Anne's requires a minimum personal investment of ?40,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not recommended for first-time franchisees. If you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial aid.

Crepe Delicious is an interesting investment opportunity in the Restaurant industry. By joining its current 25 franchisees, you would be joining a growing brand network. A total of ?80,000 is required to start a Crepe Delicious franchise. You might want to consider getting a loan to cover the startup costs, in which case at least ?50,000 of the total investment should come from your personal funds.

Lastly, another option worth considering is Caf? Rouge. The brand is growing, with 90 locations already in operation, and a desire to expand further. Opening a Caf? Rouge business requires a significant initial investment of ?700,000. At least ?350,000 should come from your own personal investment.
