Have a look at our range of franchising opportunities, starting with the sectors that you feel most passionate about.

The population of Manchester is 548,000. The most prevalent age group in the population is 20 to 39 years old.

Running a Retail franchise business

There are 61 franchises in the Retail industry to choose from.

Our range is likely to have an option that suits your career goals and aspirations. If you are considering joining the Retail industry, you may be interested to know that 34,000 people have already made the decision to work in this sector in the Manchester area.

Three examples of available franchise business possibilities

If you would like to invest in the Retail industry, The Original Poster Company could be a good option. First established in 1991, The Original Poster Company now has over 29 years of experience under its belt. There are 70 outlets open so far, and the network is expanding. Financial aid can be given in some circumstances.

Zip Yard is an interesting franchising opportunity in the Retail industry. If you can't cover the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial assistance.

Finally, Ecigwizard is another successful brand that has been operating in the Retail industry since 2011. By joining its network of 45 franchisees, you could contribute to this up-and-coming brand's success. You will need to invest ?60,000 to begin running your own Ecigwizard business. Your personal investment should account for at least ?40,000 of the total amount. Due to the higher startup costs, this option is not recommended for first-time franchisees. Also, if you can't afford the startup costs on your own, you may qualify for financial support. See our website for details.
