Franchising is the way to go for many successful business people in Ireland with the sector having just recorded growth of 15 per cent to €2.4 billion in revenue.
The figures just released in the latest All-Ireland 2010 Franchising Survey conducted by UCD Michael Smurfit Business School in association with Ulster Bank, further reveal that 4,086 different franchise outlets now operate throughout Ireland, generating 42,927 full-time equivalent jobs.
The survey also shows that franchising has become a much more affordable option for those interested in starting up in businesses and that training options for franchisees interested in trading in established brands hold particular appeal.
