Three franchise business examples

Initially established in 1997, Cash Generator operates in the Retail industry. The company now has 23 years of experience, making it a leader in the field. The brand has a strong network and good exposure, operating in 700 franchise outlets. Opening a Cash Generator franchise will require you to invest a minimum of £240,000. At least £80,000 of this should come from your own personal investment. The higher startup costs make this an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources.

The Retail industry has many brands worth considering. Have a look at The Original Poster Company. First established in 1991, The Original Poster Company has proved itself to be a successful business and leader in the sector in its 29 years since opening.

If you decide to invest in this franchise, financial assistance is available, providing you meet the eligibility criteria.

Lastly, take a look at Noa Noa, another attractive Retail franchise. By joining its network of 90 franchisees, you could play a part in this brand's success. Also, if you can't cover the startup costs alone, you may be able to benefit from financial aid. See eligibility details on our website.
