Three franchise business examples worth looking at

Auntie Anne's is an interesting franchise that has been operating in the Coffee & Wine Bar sector since 1988. The company has built strong customer loyalty over the past 32 years. A network of 2,000 franchisees promotes the brand's exposure. Starting an Auntie Anne's business requires a substantial initial investment of £145,000. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, Auntie Anne's asks for a personal investment of at least £40,000. For most franchises, this amount represents 30 to 50% of the total investment. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. By investing in this established brand, you could be eligible for financial assistance.

The Coffee & Wine Bar sector has many brands worth considering. Take a look at Esquires Coffee. First established in 2000, the brand is now mature and a leader within the sector, having expanded its franchise network for 20 years. The brand runs in 103 franchise locations which make up a strong business community. In order to open an Esquires Coffee business, a significant initial investment of £225,000 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will usually need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. Esquires Coffee requires a personal investment of at least £85,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial support.

A total of £13,000, a reasonable initial investment, is required to start a Punch Pubs & Co franchise.
