Multi-Unit Franchises in the UK

What are multi-unit franchises? Multi-unit franchising allows franchisees to own more than one unit within the same franchise network. Most will allow you to open one franchise initially, with the opportunity to expand and open several if you are successful with your first one. As the business develops, the franchisee may take a step back from the day to day running to oversee the management of their business. Some food franchises only recruit franchisees with the experience and financial capabilities to own and run multiple stores.  Multi-unit franchise opportunities cover a wide range of industries from food to cleaning, to care to gardening. Many multi-unit franchisees go on to become multi-brand franchisees which sees them take one or a number of other franchise brands. Multi-unit franchises can be expensive but will have high returns.
