Mountainous and largely rural, Brecknockshire’s most important industries are agriculture, forestry and tourism. Approximately half of the county lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park, which is a popular tourist destination. The annual Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts is held annually over 10 days in the small Market town of Hay-on-Wye.
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.
