With a population of around 1.2 million, Surrey is the third most populous home county, behind Kent and Essex. It also generates the highest GDP per capital of any English county. A number of electronics manufacturers, medico-pharma companies and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) businesses have a presence in Surrey, alongside franchised branches of the Subway and Metro Rod networks.
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.
