Research global franchise markets

If your ambitions stretch beyond owning and operating a single-unit, or even multi-unit franchise, and you have serious capital to invest in the national rights to a brand and proven business system, you could be a candidate for investing in a Master Franchise.

Master Franchising

As a Master Franchisee you would secure exclusive rights to develop the UK under an international franchisor's brand, trading style and system. Many franchisors from the Americas and Europe have established operations in the UK by granting the national Master Franchise rights to a local individual or organisation, which has then overseen that brand's expansion either by establishing owned outlets, recruiting a sub-franchised network or a mixture of the two. Many more are searching for serious entrepreneurial investors with the ambitions to establish their presence in the UK.
