The UK electronics market continues to thrive, with growing demand for tech products, repairs and digital services. Whether you're passionate about gadgets, interested in business tech support or want to help customers access affordable pre-owned devices, there’s a franchise model to match your skills and goals. Many of these franchises offer full training, ongoing support and flexible business formats to help you get started with confidence.
Electronics franchises in the UK span several fast-growing areas. Some specialise in buying, selling and trading consumer tech – such as CeX, which offers everything from phones and games consoles to laptops and DVDs. These businesses benefit from strong brand recognition and appeal to price-conscious shoppers and sustainability-minded consumers.
Others focus on repairs and IT support, serving both individual customers and small businesses. Franchises like Experimax offer services including laptop and PC repairs, refurbished products and related services.
Telecoms franchises like BT Local Business work with SMEs to supply phone systems, broadband and digital services. These opportunities suit franchisees with B2B experience and a consultative approach.
In the retail space, some franchises act as authorised resellers for major mobile networks or focus on accessories and repairs, with steady footfall and repeat business.
There is also increasing demand for franchises that sell and install smart home devices, offering products such as voice-activated assistants, smart thermostats, lighting and home security systems – all part of the growing connected home trend.
