Our second Franchise Discovery Day took place virtually on Thursday 31st March 2022, hosted by presenter and correspondent, Ben Thompson.

Representatives from Driver Hire, FASTSIGNS, Home Instead, Puddle Ducks, Revive! and X-Press Legal Services joined to discuss the sector, and were joined by their franchisees who discussed their real-life experiences in building successful franchise businesses.

The 6 franchisors were joined by Emily Price from the British Franchise Association, who spoke about the franchising industry in the UK and the role of the association. Innes Laing, Franchise Director at the HSBC also joined to speak more widely about the financial aspects of franchising, and how banks look favorably on the sector when it comes to funding.

The event was a great opportunity for those interested in the sector to learn more, whether this be about how to run a franchise or the funding opportunities available, or to learn more about the specific opportunities from each of the franchisors.
