Here are three examples of franchise businesses

If you are interested in running a business in the Food sector, read about Baguette Express, a company operating since 1999. Baguette Express has proved itself to be a successful business and leader in the field in its 21 years since opening. The brand is expanding, with 38 outlets already in operation, and a desire to expand further. Starting a Baguette Express business requires an initial investment of ?60,000. At least ?30,000 should come from your own personal investment. Given these higher startup costs, this is an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. By investing in this franchise, you may qualify for financial assistance. See eligibility details on our website.

Another interesting investment opportunity is Baskin Robbins, which launched in 1945. Baskin Robbins has gained expertise and customer loyalty in its 75 years since opening. By joining its network of 150 franchisees, you would become a part of a well-established business community. An initial investment of ?500,000 will allow you to start your own Baskin Robbins business. Given these higher startup costs, this opportunity is less suitable for first-time franchisees.

Lastly, you could also consider Bagel Corner. There are 30 locations open so far, and the network is expanding. You will need to invest in a small premises to operate this business.
