Three franchise business examples

Bartercard UK is a competitive franchise operating in the Professional Services sector. By joining its 75 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this brand's expansion. To open your own Bartercard UK franchise, you will need to invest £6,000, of which at least £2,000 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. Eligible candidates may apply for financial aid.

The Professional Services sector has many brands worth considering. Have a look at Chrysalis Partners. By joining its current 10 franchisees, you would be joining a growing brand network. An affordable initial investment of £34,950 will enable you to start your own Chrysalis Partners business. In most cases, your personal investment should represent 30 to 50% of the total amount. Chrysalis Partners requires you to personally invest at least £20,000. You could potentially get a loan to cover the remaining costs. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees.

Lastly, Driver Hire is another successful brand that has been operating in the Professional Services sector since 1983. Driver Hire, now a leader in the field, has gained 37 years of experience since first opening. There are 100 outlets open so far, and the network is expanding. Starting a Driver Hire business requires an initial investment of £40,000. At least £32,000 should come from your own personal investment. It is thus less appropriate for new investors.
