Success through experience
By buying a franchised business opportunity you greatly improve your chances of success. Contrary to the high failure rate of business start-ups, the British Franchise Association are able to claim that some 90% of franchisees remained profitably after 5 years trading.
The established franchise removes many of the risks associated with new businesses.
Defining a franchise
Franchising derives from French to describe a business method where a franchisor licenses trademarks and a proven methodology to a franchisee in exchange for a recurring payment, and often a percentage of gross sales or profits.
The Franchise Network
Franchising offers many people the opportunity to establish their own business in their own geographic area whilst building upon the proven experience of an established organisation.
In addition to UK franchisors, there are now many European Community companies seeking UK representation for established products and services that are new to Britain.
The DMR Franchise Network brings potential franchisees and franchisors together; and we bring our contacts in the Nordic area and the rapidly emerging markets of the Baltic States.
Published in the UK, our open discussion forum enables the potential franchisee to discuss with existing franchisees and to share problems, successes and general experiences.
The Franchise Network
The franchise.co.uk website provides the potential franchisee with an opportunity to view the extensive range of franchises that are available. We will be constantly adding franchises and will present them by type; value; geographical region etc., to help the franchisee make the appropriate short-list for selection.
Working with the Franchise Network
We welcome the involvement of qualified franchisors to provide details and information about their products and services. We also encourage active support from banks; insurers and advisors to assist with general advice and to be available to provide specific advice to intending franchisees.
Master Franchises
A number of master franchises are now available in the UK. Master franchises enable a qualified company to take on the franchise entitlement for an area, such as the whole of the UK, or perhaps for say, Scotland or Wales. Under this agreement, the master franchisee has the right to act as the franchisor for the area and to expand the business by appointing its own franchisees.
