Tourism followed by agriculture are the main economic activities on Anglesey, an island off the north west coast of Wales that has a population of 70,000. It’s home to three wind farms, as well as a number of offshore wind turbines. Over two million people pass through the port of Holyhead, the island’s largest town, on their way to the Republic of Ireland each year.
There are numerous ways to make money running a business. Franchising is a way of running your own business, but with the training and support of an established national - or even international - company. There are hundreds of business opportunities that are classified as franchises operating in dozens of market sectors. Franchisors give full initial and ongoing training, so you don’t necessarily need any experience of the market you wish to enter. In addition, the success rate of franchises is many times greater than independent start-up businesses.
