Three franchises that might interest you

The Professional Services sector has many franchise opportunities available, such as Driver Hire, which launched in 1983. Driver Hire is a recognized leader in the sector, with 37 years of experience under its belt the brand is developing, with 100 outlets currently in operation, and a desire to expand further. This business requires an initial investment of £40,000. If you intend to get a loan to cover startup costs, you should anticipate adding a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total investment as a general rule. The minimal personal investment to start a Driver Hire business is £32,000. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees. An investment in this franchise entitles you to expert training and support as well as financial aid, if eligible.

Bartercard UK could be another good option for you to invest in. By joining its network of 75 franchisees, you could play a part in this brand's success. Opening a Bartercard UK business requires an affordable initial investment of £6,000. At least £2,000 should come from your own personal investment. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. If you can't cover the startup costs on your own, you could see if you qualify for financial assistance. See our website for details.

Lastly, another brand worth considering is CPA Online. By joining its 10 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. You will need to invest £14,750 to start operating your own CPA Online business, which is a reasonable initial investment.
