But, understandably, taking that first step can be daunting for most. And however much encouragement you may receive, research is still vital in order to choose the right path for you – and that’s where Business Franchise comes in! This month’s 212-page bumper issue is jam-packed with everything you need to get the ball rolling. From expert advice from page 19 to in-depth Q&As from current franchisees who have all weighed up the boons and pitfalls of franchising and found the perfect balance.

The exhibition is the largest British Franchise Association-approved event of the year, and a definite must for all potential franchisees. If you do decide to make your way to the event, turn to page 49 for all of the exhibitor profiles, so you can swot up on all of the businesses before you go.
From all of us at Business Franchise magazine, we hope you enjoy reading and it inspires you to take the first step on your journey to finding your ultimate work-life balance.
