Have a look at these three business examples

Dunkin' Donuts could be a great choice for you if you're planning to invest in the Food industry. Open since 1970, the brand has grown a dedicated following over the past 50 years. Franchisees benefit from this company's wide network, which operates across 11,000 franchise locations. Opening a Dunkin' Donuts franchise will require you to invest a minimum of £3,000,000. At least £1,200,000 of this should come from your own personal investment. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. Eligible candidates may apply for financial aid.

Another brand worth considering is Wiltshire Farm Foods. There are 80 locations open so far, and the network is expanding. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial assistance. See eligibility details on our website.

Finally, LighterLife could be another good option for you to invest in. First established in 1992, the brand is now mature and a leader within the sector, having expanded its franchise network for 28 years. By joining its current 50 franchisees, you would become a part of a growing brand network. To start your own LighterLife business, you will need an initial investment of £1,000. Given these low startup costs, this option could be suitable for first-time franchisees.

The Food industry offers 136 franchising options. If you're interested in exploring franchising opportunities in other sectors, Point Franchise has almost 250 brands to pick from.
