Three franchise business examples

The Retail industry offers a range of brands to choose from, including Cash Converters. Launched in 1984, Cash Converters now has 36 years of experience in the field, making it a strong leader. The brand runs in 200 franchise locations which make up a well-established business community. In order to open a Cash Converters business, a substantial initial investment of ?100,000 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will generally need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. Cash Converters requires a personal investment of at least ?39,000. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees.

Another interesting franchising opportunity is Signorini TARTUFI. By joining its 31 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. This business opportunity requires a substantial initial investment of ?90,000. You could get a loan to help cover startup costs, in which case your personal investment will usually need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment. Signorini TARTUFI asks for a minimum personal investment of ?30,000. It is thus less appropriate for new investors. A small premises will also be required to operate this business.

Finally, another option to consider is Ecigwizard, a brand that has been in business since 2011. By joining its network of 45 franchisees, you could contribute to this up-and-coming brand's success. A total of ?60,000 is required to start an Ecigwizard franchise. You might want to consider getting a loan to cover the startup costs, in which case at least ?40,000 of the total investment should come from your personal funds. The higher startup costs make this an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. If you can't cover the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial aid. See our website for details.
