The Wheel Specialist could be another good option for you to invest in. By joining its 30 franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. To start your business, you will need an initial investment of £160,000. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the costs of opening a franchise, a personal investment of 30 to 50% of the total amount will typically be required.
