Own a piece of hospitality's next big thing.

It depends on the brand and format - our listings range from sub-£75k conversions to £250k+ multi-unit development agreements. The figure shown on each listing is the minimum total investment, which includes the franchise fee, fit-out and initial working capital. Most franchisors expect a proportion of that to be your own unencumbered capital, with the balance funded.

Most hospitality franchisees go from first enquiry to opening day in six to twelve months. The variable is almost always property: finding a site that works, agreeing terms and getting through planning and licensing takes longer than training, fit-out and recruitment combined.

Not always. Many franchisors train new operators from scratch, and some formats are designed specifically for first-time operators. Commitment, available capital and people management matter more than a hospitality CV. Full-service restaurant and pub formats are the exception - those usually require prior management experience.

Compare investment level, territory availability and the support a franchisor actually provides against your own goals and how hands-on you intend to be. Then speak to existing franchisees - including, if you can, one who has left. That conversation tells you more than any brochure.

Nothing. Enquiring through Propel Franchise is free for investors. We pass your enquiry to the franchisor, who contacts you directly.
