Run Your Own Lifestyle Business, Buy a Franchise on https://www.FranchiseSales.com

LONDON - As Britain slowly emerges from recession, people looking to get into business are now turning their attentions to franchise concepts that can be incorporated into family life.

“We have seen more interest in what we call lifestyle or work-from-home opportunities,” says Yasmine Siddiqi, head of FranchiseSales.com. “This reflects people’s reassessment of what is valuable to them - such as working near the family home.”

Sarah Cresswell, founder of children’s franchise Creation Station worth almost GBP100,000, says: “We specifically designed our franchise to fit around a mum’s busy life. We believe the business is popular because it fits with current times.”

A growing number of those choosing to work from home are doing so to avoid the commute, the soaring cost of petrol, and office politics. Also, a work-from-home franchise doesn’t require premises, has low overheads and is therefore invariably a lot cheaper to buy.

When The Music Stops is such an example. You can be up and running for a total investment of GBP10,000 - franchisees organise singles events such as dinner parties and speed dating events for all age groups. Mike Parker, Managing Director says: “Even though we are looking for outgoing people who are interested in match-making and enjoy socialising, this outgoing activity is essentially run from the home.”

After being made redundant, Simon Kennedy turned to franchising. He explains: “I wanted to take control of my career through self-employment and a franchised approach presented a great opportunity.”
