There’s a real buzz around franchising right now . We’ve seen it first hand this year as more of our clients take their businesses to the next level. From desserts to property, fitness to education, a wave of exciting brands has launched their franchise opportunities through effective franchise development.

It all started with a Phase One Feasibility Study

Throughout this year, we’ve supported a diverse group of brands in developing and launching their franchise models, each beginning with our Phase One: Franchise Feasibility Study. This vital first stage assesses whether a business is ready to franchise and lays the groundwork for a successful franchise development plan.

And what’s been incredible to see this year is how many of those initial studies have quickly developed into full franchise development and launch.

We’re proud to have supported a number of businesses this year in developing and launching their franchise opportunities, including:

Bakedd – serving up artisan desserts and coffee with a fresh new franchise model.

British Home Sellers – one of the UK’s fastest-growing property sales specialists.

Care at Call – a compassionate home care service helping people live independently.

Carriages of Harley Street – a luxury mobile aesthetics brand now offering franchise opportunities to professionals nationwide.

Chit’n’Chaat – a vibrant Indian street food brand bringing bold flavours and authentic experiences to high streets across the UK.

A Sustained Appetite for Franchising

While running a business in the current climate certainly has its challenges, franchising remains a popular choice. Business owners are increasingly recognising it as a smart, sustainable route to scale – one that combines brand control with entrepreneurial drive at a local level.

The recent National Franchise Exhibition, held at the NEC Birmingham in early October, has also fuelled interest in franchising. The event has boosted momentum to what already feels like an exciting period for the industry – and for ambitious brands ready to grow through franchising.
