Three franchise business examples worth looking at
If working in the Automotive sector appeals to you, check out Carey's. An initial investment of £20,000 will enable you to open your own Carey's business. Given these low startup costs, this option could be suitable for first-time franchisees. By investing in this established brand, you can gain access to expert training and support
Another option to consider is The Wheel Specialist. There are 30 locations open so far, and the network is expanding. This business requires a significant initial investment of £160,000. If you intend to get 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 Wheel Specialist business is £60,000. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not advisable for first-time franchisees. If eligible, you might be entitled to financial aid.
Lastly, another possibility to consider is Autoremedy Vehicle Repair Service. You will need to invest £30,000 to start your own Autoremedy Vehicle Repair Service business. At least £9,999 of this reasonable amount should come from your own personal investment. These low startup costs make this a good franchising option for first-time franchisees. An investment in this franchise entitles you to financial assistance, if eligible. See eligibility details on our website.
