Driver Hire announces available territories

The list includes both start-up and established franchise resale opportunities

Driver Hire is one of the UK’s top franchises – an established franchise that offers comprehensive training and dedicated support to each new franchisee. The recruitment business listed its current start-up and established franchise resales.

A start-up franchise is one where the business doesn’t currently have a Driver Hire office set up in that postcode defined area. This area may currently be covered by neighbouring offices until the franchise for sale is bought and a new franchisee joins our successful network. The start-up franchise fee is £32,000.

A franchise re-sale is when an established, existing franchisee who wishes to sell, usually to either retire, or move on to their next challenge. The purchase price of a re-sale will always be more than our start-up franchise fee of £32,000, because you are investing in the goodwill of the business (their current customers and candidates), which will provide an income from the day you take over.

The Driver Hire Franchise Team is looking for potential franchisees with good organisational and people skills, and the discipline to work within a structured environment, where legislative compliance is important. They will be happy to discuss with you, in more detail, the list of franchises for sale, to help you decide on the best options for you.

See below the full list of franchises for sale which currently include start-ups and re-sales in the following areas:
