Wales is a country steeped in history and culture, with a traditional strong work ethic. Today Wales boasts a population of 2.94 million, mainly concentrated around its major cities of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Wrexham and mining valleys of the southeast of the country.

Despite, franchising in Wales being valued at £0.5 billion (which is an 18% increase in implied annual turnover), it is still under-represented in terms of the number of Welsh-based franchisors and franchisee units operating in Wales. Around 40% of all UK franchise systems are currently present in Wales; despite being a healthy figure, this highlights that there is still a massive potential for growth in franchising.

Wales boasts some of the UK's largest multi-unit franchisees and has been identified as the ideal place for developing brands such as LEON, Taco Bell, Tony Macaronis and Wendys in 2022.

Wales is a great country for starting a business due to the amount of professional support available to help get businesses started, which includes support for franchisees.
