The franchise business in the UK is growing rapidly and so are the new opportunities. According to a survey by BFA(British Franchise Association) and Natwest, by the time of the survey, the Franchise Industry contributed £15 Billion to the UK economy - that's an increase of 46% over the past 10 years. When compared to independent marketing businesses, the marketing franchise is a more hassle-free and successful option. A franchise is more likely to survive when compared to other start-ups. This means it can be a lower-risk opportunity than starting your own business from scratch.
