FAQ

Before you start

Answers to the questions prospective franchisees ask most often.

View all →
How much does it cost to open a franchise?

It depends on the sector and format: home-based concepts start under £10,000, while structured food service can exceed £100,000. Every profile shows the required investment, and you can filter by budget.

What is the best franchise to open in 2026?

The one that fits your budget, your area and the time you can commit: there is no single answer. Compare networks by sector and investment, with data checked profile by profile.

Do I need experience in the sector?

Not always: many networks train new franchisees from scratch and say so in their requirements. Each profile details the profile they look for.

Is Start Franchising free?

For franchise seekers, yes — no sign-up needed. We are funded by franchisors promoting their networks on the platform: sponsored content is always labelled.

How do I contact a network?

From the network profile: your request goes straight to the franchisor. No middlemen and no cost to you.
