Is there such a thing as Franchises for Women? Recent years has seen a massive push towards empowering women into franchising. According to the latest data from the British Franchise Association (BFA), around 30% of all franchisees in the UK are women; there has been a steady increase in the number of female franchisees over time. The rise of female franchisees is well above the SME average, which is mainly down to the format of franchising. Franchising offers a level playing field for everyone; due to the training and support that comes part and parcel with franchising, no previous experience is usually required, creating opportunities for everyone. Franchises for women are popular with those who have held senior management positions and looking to re-enter the workforce after a lengthy period of absence such as women returning to work after having children. Women have the required skills and capabilities to run any franchise and shake up those industries that were male-oriented. Like with any choice in franchising, it is down to which type of franchise they could see themselves working in, how much money they have to invest and finding a franchise that matches their expectations.  Women make great franchise owners and franchising is ideal for woimen!
