Have a look at these three business examples

There are many interesting franchising opportunities in the Personal & Home Care Services sector. Take Home Instead for example, a brand that was first established in 2005. The company is now mature and a leader within the sector, having developed its franchise community for 15 years. A network of 1,200 franchisees promotes the brand's visibility. This business requires a significant initial investment of £90,000. If you plan on getting a loan to cover startup costs, you should anticipate adding a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total investment as a general rule. The minimal personal investment to start a Home Instead business is £30,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not recommended for first-time franchisees.

Another option worth considering is Heritage Healthcare, a brand that opened in 2013. To start your business, you will need an initial investment of £95,994. If you intend to get a loan to cover the costs of opening a franchise, a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total amount will usually be required. For Heritage Healthcare, the minimum personal investment is £35,994. The higher startup costs make this an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources.

Finally, another option to consider is Jackson Fire and Security, a brand that has been operating since 2014. By joining its current 10 franchisees, you would become a part of a fast growing brand network. Starting a Jackson Fire and Security franchise will require you to invest a minimum of £69,500. At least £39,500 of this should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees. By investing in this established brand, you could be eligible for financial aid. See our website for more information.
