The Professional Services sector has many franchise opportunities available, such as Bartercard UK. By joining its network of 75 franchisees, you could contribute to this brand's success. Starting a Bartercard UK business requires a reasonable initial investment of £6,000. At least £2,000 should come from your own personal investment. Given these low startup costs, this opportunity is suitable for both first-time investors and established franchisees. If you choose to invest in this franchise, financial aid is available, providing you meet the eligibility criteria.

If the Professional Services sector appeals to you, Driver Hire is another option you could consider. First established in 1983, Driver Hire has acquired expertise and customer loyalty in its 37 years since opening. By joining its 100 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this brand's expansion. To start your business, you will need an initial investment of £40,000. If you intend to get a loan to cover the costs of opening a franchise, a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total amount will usually be required. For Driver Hire, the minimum personal investment is £32,000. It is thus less appropriate for new investors. When investing in this franchise, you can benefit from the assistance and support of an established brand and you could even qualify for financial assistance. See eligibility details on our website.

Lastly, CPA Online could be another good option for you to invest in. By joining its current 10 franchisees, you would be joining a growing brand network. To open your own CPA Online franchise, you will need to invest £14,750, of which at least £7,375 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.
