Check out three available franchise opportunities

There are many interesting franchising possibilities in the Professional Services sector. Take Driver Hire for example, a business that was first established in 1983. The company has built strong customer loyalty over the past 37 years. By joining its network of 100 franchisees, you could play a part in this brand's success. An initial investment of £40,000 will enable you to open your own Driver Hire business. In most cases, your personal investment should represent 30 to 50% of the total amount. Driver Hire requires you to personally invest at least £32,000. You could potentially get a loan to cover the remaining costs. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees. If you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you could see if you qualify for financial aid. This brand also provides its franchisees with full training and support.

Bartercard UK is an interesting franchise option in the Professional Services sector. By joining its current 75 franchisees, you would become a part of a growing brand network. A total of £6,000, an affordable initial investment, is required to start a Bartercard UK franchise. You might want to consider getting a loan to cover the startup costs, in which case at least £2,000 of the total investment should come from your personal funds. These low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. Financial assistance is available for eligible franchisees. See our website for details.

Finally, CPA Online is another interesting investment opportunity if you plan to invest in the Professional Services sector. This brand is growing, counting 10 outlets across the country. This business opportunity requires an affordable initial investment of £14,750. You could get a loan to help cover startup costs, in which case your personal investment will generally need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment. CPA Online asks for a minimum personal investment of £7,375. These low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. This investment entitles you to training, assistance and support from CPA Online.
