Three brands worth your attention

Heavenly Desserts is a competitive franchise operating in the Food sector. By joining its current 21 franchisees, you would become a part of a growing brand network. Opening a Heavenly Desserts franchise will require you to invest a minimum of £190,000. At least £110,000 of this should come from your own personal investment. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. If you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may be eligible for financial aid.

You could also consider Cinnabon, which has been operating since 2004. The company is now mature and a leader within the sector, having developed its franchise community for 16 years. The brand has grown over time and now operates in 1,300 different locations.

Lastly, another possibility to consider is Wiltshire Farm Foods. By joining its 80 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this brand's expansion. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial assistance. See our website for details.
