The 17th Annual Franchise Survey* revealed that 72% of franchisees had been employees before setting up a franchise.
Entrepreneurs are increasingly attracted by the idea of setting up their own business. Franchising is a popular option. This powerful collaborative model attracts and reassures potential candidates looking for new career or entrepreneurial opportunities.
This formula, thanks to the support offered, enables them to get started quickly without being isolated. It also limits risks and lets them benefit from brand recognition.
The current period fully illustrates these franchise values.
These figures prove that the trend is real, with over 78,000* franchised outlets by 2020. This will translate into global sales of nearly 64 billion euros*.
Franchising is accessible to everyone, in every sector!
Everyone can find the network that's right for them, with personal capital requirements ranging from less than 10,000 to over 500,000 euros. Franchises are available in all business sectors, from automotive and real estate to training and construction, micro-care centers, restaurants, hairdressing and other services.
Franchising is an excellent idea.
67% of franchisees feel they have weathered the crisis better than any other retailer, and 79% plan to continue working within their network after the end of their franchise contract!
What's more, 9 out of 10 franchisees would recommend the franchise model to their customers, and over 25% are planning to open another establishment.
Franchisees benefit from the reputation and support of a recognized brand. They can also make real changes to their lives by moving to another region or department when they start up. There are many opportunities to set up in small towns as well as large cities.
