Eager to find out more? Here are three franchise business examples

If the Personal & Home Care Services sector is your area of interest, Gymboree is worth looking at. Initially established in 2000, Gymboree now has over 20 years of experience under its belt. By joining its 30 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this brand's expansion. Opening a Gymboree business requires a substantial initial investment of £93,000. If you intend to get a loan to cover the startup costs, Gymboree asks for a personal investment of at least £60,000. For most franchises, this amount represents 30 to 50% of the total investment. It is thus less appropriate for new investors. By investing in this established brand, you could qualify for financial aid.

Another brand worth considering is Tutor Doctor. First launched in 2003, the company is now mature and a leader within the sector, having developed its franchise network for 17 years. By joining its network of 500 franchisees, you would become a part of a strong business community. Starting a Tutor Doctor business requires an initial investment of £34,700. At least £33,000 should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this is an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. You could also benefit from financial assistance, if eligible.

Lastly, another possibility to consider is Jackson Fire and Security. The company first opened in 2014. By joining its network of 10 franchisees, you could play a part in this up-and-coming brand's success. You will need to invest £69,500 to open your own Jackson Fire and Security business. At least £39,500 of this should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this is an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial support. See our website for details.
