The role played by Home Based Franchises is huge, and opportunities for new investors even bigger

MARYLEBONE, U.K. - Sept. 10, 2019 - PRLog -- Home based businesses may not have the scale to compete with large corporation, but it cannot ever be denied that they offer great many opportunities for business-minded individuals. With these opportunities, however, comes confusion. Many first time franchisees find it tough to tell a good investment opportunity from a bad one. The new and improved Franchise Directory – an exclusive & free offering by franchise4u – compiles the best home based franchise opportunities for 2019, backed by invaluable inputs like in-depth franchisor profiles, bespoke star rating system and real, verified reviews from franchisees.

The British Franchise Association, in an exciting study, revealed that 40% of all franchise opportunities available in the UK market are either home based, or have the potential to be home based. This, in all fairness, reflects on the way the world of business is moving forward towards a hyperlocal and heavily delegated future.

For people who are looking to invest in home based franchise opportunities, this is great news. And every number out there indicates that there are many of them. For example, the numbers from the Office For National Statistics showed that in 2015, more than 4 million Britons worked from home. Private surveys go on to reveal that nearly half of UK workforce is expected to work from home (part/full time) by the end of 2020.

Some obvious advantages of running your business from home include the freedom, flexibility and productivity. Home based business owners are also able to maintain better balance between their professional and personal lives.

Moreover, in comparison with franchises in other industries, home based franchises are cheaper to buy and run. For instance, many professional service franchises in the home based category will require one to raise less than £20,000 to get started. Investors also have access to franchise finance from banks and private lenders. As should be obvious, home based franchises involve very few overheads. Most importantly, since there's no dedicated location to be rented and maintained, one can hope to save tens of thousands of pounds each year. In essence, home based opportunities are ideal for first-time entrepreneurs, parentrepreneurs and people looking to establish a secondary stream of additional income.

The comprehensive Franchise Directory at franchise4u (https://www.franchise4u.co.uk/) compiles a well-documented list of UK-wide home based franchise opportunities. The directory is free and now available to all interested franchisees, with an added benefit of Franchise Reviews from existing franchise operators and owners, providing real and powerful insights into how the franchise really works.
