The British Franchise Association / NatWest 2015 franchise survey found that the average investment required for a new franchisor to establish their franchise is £170,000.

How you’ll make a profit

The income that you’ll make as a franchisor will come from both the initial franchise fee and on-going fees that your franchisees pay. But how do you know at what level to set these fees? Too expensive and the cost of franchises will be too much for franchisee candidates to consider but set them too low and you risk not being able to make enough profit to invest time and money back into the franchise system.
