Read about these three brands to see what franchise options exist

If you are interested in running a business in the Retail industry, read about Ecigwizard, a brand operating since 2011. This brand is growing quickly, counting 45 outlets across the United Kingdom. In order to open an Ecigwizard business, an initial investment of ?60,000 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will usually need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. Ecigwizard asks for a personal investment of at least ?40,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. Eligible candidates may apply for financial aid.

If the Retail industry appeals to you, Cash Converters is another option you could consider. First established in 1984, Cash Converters has gained substantial customer loyalty over its 36 years in business. The brand's network is made up of 200 franchisees, which enhance its exposure. You will need to invest ?100,000 to open your own Cash Converters business. At least ?39,000 of this significant amount should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this is an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources.

Lastly, you could also have a look at Noa Noa. By joining its 90 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. Financial assistance can be provided in some circumstances. Visit our website for more information.
