What is a franchise and how does it work?
A franchise is a licence to run a business under an established brand: the franchisor lends you its name, processes and know-how, and you operate your own branch under them. You pay an entry fee and an ongoing share of revenue; in return you get a proven model, training and marketing support — you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
The main advantage is a lower-risk start compared to building your own brand; the price is less freedom and contractual obligations to the franchisor. Success depends on picking the right network — terms, investment levels and the real support you get differ enormously between chains.
The catalogue above focuses on vetted franchises operating across Europe. For each one we lay out how it works, clear pros and cons, the rough investment level and who it suits — so you compare on facts, not on recruitment promises.
Franchise FAQs
?What exactly does a franchise mean?
A contractual partnership in which a brand owner (the franchisor) grants an entrepreneur (the franchisee) the right to use its brand, products and proven processes in exchange for fees. The franchisee remains an independent business owner responsible for their own branch.
?How much does a franchise cost?
Depending on the network, from a few thousand euros to millions. The total is made up of an entry fee, the fit-out of the premises and ongoing royalties on revenue. You can filter the catalogue by investment level.
?Is there such a thing as a franchise with no investment?
Practically no — even networks with “no entry fee” require capital to launch and operate. Service franchises without physical premises tend to need the least; you'll find them in the lowest investment band of the catalogue.
?How do I choose the right franchise?
Talk to existing franchisees, have a lawyer read the agreement, and compare the network's real support. Our catalogue works as the first filter: you see each brand's pros, cons and who it suits before you contact anyone.
