Franchising in the media:

The franchising industry and many of the businesses, which utilise franchising as a business model, have remained in the media for many years. However with recent economic difficulties franchising has come to the forefront of many news stories as this robust business model, in many cases, is bucking the trend.

Franchise businesses of all kinds have shown that their combination of local business and national support allows them to identify new business opportunities through the UK and yet remain committed to central support and services. This has not only enabled them to ensure service remains strong from their consumers, but this business model has also provided new lives for people looking to start their own business through joining a franchise.

One local initiative by franchise businesses in Peterborough has highlighted the importance of increasing consumer awareness through Proud to Franchise, when they took a day out to talk to the public face-to-face. To find out more about this initiative and who is involved click here.
