Franchise Local Sees More People Taking Control Of Their Lives During Economic Downturn With Franchise Businesses

The UK’s largest directory for franchise recruitment and businesses for sale believes economic necessity is causing people to seek new opportunities

United Kingdom - August 14, 2023 —

UK-based Franchise Local, a directory for franchise opportunities across numerous industries, says that the current economic downturn is incentivising more people to step into the sector. Individuals with entrepreneurial spirits are seeking to lead teams while leveraging existing and proven business models. 

“We’ve seen a massive surge of interest in franchising across the board from people looking for better opportunities for themselves and their families,” a company representative said. “Business-minded people across the UK are looking for ways to boost their income in the face of rising inflation and falling living standards. Setting up a franchise is easy for many aspiring people because it provides them with an already-proven money-making model.”

Franchise Local is home to hundreds of franchise opportunities across various sectors, such as property, professional services, fitness, business consulting, accountancy and finance, and education. Franchisees do not need to create intellectual property or design brands from scratch. Instead, the directory points them towards existing franchise opportunities for sale, allowing them to insert themselves into proven, thriving businesses. 

Franchises are becoming more popular in the UK as people seek ways to escape conventional jobs and take more control of their working lives. While franchises often insist on specific quality and service standards, franchisees get more say over their working day, who they employ, and even the prices they charge. 

The economic incentives for people in the UK to start franchise businesses are considerable. Inflation remains high at 7.9%, and wages fell behind price rises for much of 2022 and 2023. Food prices continue to soar despite record interest rate increases by the Bank of England, and the underlying growth rate of the economy remains sluggish. 

“We wanted to provide people with new income opportunities during these challenging economic times,” Franchise Local said. “People are crying out for more autonomy and local opportunities that enable them to escape the high-inflation, low-wage trap many currently find themselves in. Aggregating opportunities in the way we have has seen a tremendous increase in the number of keen British business people seeking business opportunities designed to improve their quality of life.”

Franchise Local operates across the entire UK, including Scotland and Northern Ireland. The organisation provides extensive guidance on its site for how to set up a franchise and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.
