With the long, dark days of the recession now well behind us, one sector that was badly impacted was retail. The cost of maintaining large buildings, when footfall was reducing, along with profits on items being squuezed as customers struggled of cash meant that many retailers had problems, or were forced to change their sales methodogy in order to survive.
But for those looking to set up in retail, the challenge was different. The premises were available, and the cost of renting retail space was falling as landlords sought to fill their empty premises, but even with a business plan, location and recession beating products ready to go, there often proved to be a major stumbling block in the chain - raising finance. Despite government initiatives, many banks were reluctant to lend and many plans that presented any aspect of risk were rejected.
This was quite a problem for retail franchises. Some had business models and products that were proven to survive or even thrive in a recession, and despite having eager potential franchisees, some ventures fell down on the lack of finance, despite existing franchisees succeeding.
These economic circumstances were very extreme, and thankfully, behind us, and with lessons learned too, retailers have improved their business models and there are now many more franchise opportunities in the retail sector available to choose from, with the banks now much more ready to provide the start-up funds required.
With entrepreneurs growing in confidence and more willing to use savings or, for some, redundancy packages to help fund a business start-up, investing in the franchising industry offers the opportunity to take on something different, and work for yourself, but not by yourself, without as much risk as a stand-alone business.
Aside from the ‘well-known’ franchises like Mcdonald's, Subway, Costa, there is so much more to this industry than meets the eye. From Kitchen and Bathroom showrooms, to Beauty Salons, there are lots of businesses out there looking for new franchisees with customers ready and waiting for their products and services.
