If you would like to invest in a Travel & Leisure business, you could consider Jo Jingles. First established in 1995, the company now has 25 years of experience, making it a leader in the sector. By joining its 90 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion.

DIGI-SPORTS ® NETWORK is another interesting option. By joining its network of 54 franchisees, you could play a part in this brand's success. A reasonable initial investment of £16,200 will enable you to open your own DIGI-SPORTS ® NETWORK business. In most cases, your personal investment should represent 30 to 50% of the total amount. DIGI-SPORTS ® NETWORK requires you to personally invest at least £9,000. You could potentially get a loan to cover the remaining costs.
