Three franchise business examples
There are many interesting franchising opportunities in the IT sector. Take Spoton.net for example. By joining its current 30 franchisees, you would become a part of a growing brand network. In order to start a Spoton.net business, a reasonable initial investment of £14,000 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will generally need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. Spoton.net requires a personal investment of at least £8,000. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs alone, you may be entitled to financial aid.
Take a look at Activ Net Marketing, another attractive IT franchise. There are 28 locations open so far, and the network is expanding. If eligible, you might be able to benefit from financial assistance.
Lastly, Jam Coding is another interesting brand operating in the IT sector. Starting a Jam Coding business requires an affordable initial investment of £19,950. At least £4,000 should come from your own personal investment. These relatively low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. You may qualify for financial aid.
