Once synonymous with the lace industry and the home of Robin Hood, Nottinghamshire boasts a vibrant manufacturing sector. Tourism is worth £1.8 billion annually to the county and supports around 15,000 jobs, figures that are underpinned by its links with the legendary heroic outlaw. Snack-in-the-Box, Fitness Space, Minster and Bright & Beautiful have franchisees in Nottinghamshire.
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.
