The Franchise Scene In The UK
Monday 7th March 2022
Franchises are a great way to start a new business, and that is backed up by the UK franchise scene experience growth of approximately 7% year on year. It's a great way to start a new business, and franchising offers a more secure way to venture into starting your own business.
After all, when you take on a franchise business, you are buying into an established brand and proven work models that can take years to build up if you set out on your own.
Crunching the numbers
There are many statistics that show franchising is a low-cost and rewarding way to start a business. Back in 2018, UK franchises alone contributed around £17 billion to our economy and franchises ownership is increasing. Over 90% of new franchisees report making a profit, far higher than the 60% of non-franchise small or medium enterprises that start and then fail within five years.
Another significant statistic is that only around 1% of franchises fail each year, and that's a sure sign that you will succeed if you put the work in and follow the franchise model. In fact, you might do so well that you become one of the one in three franchise owners that go on to take on additional franchises, giving yet more credence that franchises are a great way to start a new business.
