FranchisingWorks is an innovative social enterprise that tackles unemployment by helping create new businesses and jobs through franchising. It provides independent advice and practical support to people interested in exploring franchising as a way into self employment.
The Programme is currently operating in Greater Manchester.
FranchisingWorks is also part of a small consortium that was recently awarded the contract to deliver the Royal British Legion’s Be the Boss programme to provide financial and non-financial support to help former members of the British Armed Forces into self-employment across the UK.
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
FranchisingWorks has access to sources of finance to help meet the start-up costs for successful candidates with insufficient financial resources of their own.
This includes its own fund with a £1million investment from the Big Society Investment Fund, which is used as loans to invest in franchise licences for unemployed candidates needing extra financial support. See our interview with BBC News for more information.
