If you are in the mood for starting your own business and have some capital to spare, the idea of buying a franchise has probably crossed your mind. Franchises are generally seen as a safe route to business success thanks to the system, brand name, proven format with training and support that comes in a ready made business package. Finding a unique franchise business can be a bit tricky, so I have done some leg work for you and here are three unusual franchises ideas to start you thinking.
Although these are currently UK based franchises, you may find similar ideas you can research in your own country, (top tip: if you can't find one, maybe you should start one!) so here are my 3 unusual franchise ideas:
1) The Zip Yard. This idea took off in Belfast when a canny researcher discovered that people no longer have the time or desire to sew on a button, never mind put in a new zip or take up a hem. Realizing the gap in the market, the Zip Yard was founded as a retail alteration service that takes the worry out of altering expensive clothes. So confident of their training and business package, The Zip Yard say that you do not need to have tailoring or dressmaking abilities to run the business, as thorough training is provided. Total investment is around £40,000 and includes £15,000 for the license, retail unit with fixtures and fittings and full training programme.
2) ChipsAway - no, not a fish and chip delivery service (although that would be an unusual idea). This franchise is about offering on-the-spot repairs to paint chips on cars and operates using car care centres and fully equipped mobile workshops. The UK car repair industry is reported to be worth around £5.5 billion and this franchise investment costs £22,500.
3) My third unusual franchise idea will really get you thinking. Dublcheck is a business that obtains sales for its franchisees. Based in the commercial cleaning sector, they now have over 100 franchisees on the books and are looking to take on more. Offering a range of packages to cover a variety of needs, prices begin from £13,750 and rise to £19000+. By concentrating on obtaining business contracts, franchisees are given the luxury of meeting customer needs and never need make sales calls unless they want to.
Franchises offer a safe route to self-employment and owning a business, and there are other opportunities you can research as well. One place to look is the internet. A lot of money can be made on the internet if you know how, and internet marketing has become a hugely popular home business niche.
