About Franchising
Within the Franchising or Licensing Industry total turnover in 2006 was estimated to be £10.3 billion.
If other businesses that are not full format franchises are also considered (including motor distribution dealerships, petrol retailing, tenanted pubs, and soft drinks production), then franchising's importance becomes even more notable.
These businesses lead to a "franchise-related market" worth an estimated £57.9 billion, equivalent to 29.8% of retail sales.
Franchising continues to employ greater numbers of people. Direct employment, either at a system or unit level exceeds 364,000.
A total of 759 systems have been identified, operating through some 33,500 outlets.
Without a doubt, Franchising presents a diverse and growing number of options for anyone seeking to operate their own business, or have an exciting change of career.
But this can lead to difficulties in finding the franchise opportunity that is right for you. This can be compounded by misinformation, a lack of awareness of the marketplace in general, and of course knowing which businesses provide a solid foundation for growth and success.
