From the editor
Welcome to The Franchise Magazine 2019, the go-to guide for those who are looking to delve deep into the world of franchising. This magazine is for readers who want to know the ins and outs of the industry and read unbiased advice on how to thrive and survive in the current climate. We want you to read The Franchise Magazine and feel inspired. In
fact, we want you to feel so inspired that you finally ditch the humdrum, invest in your future and work for yourself. We want you to find that perfect work-life balance and love what you do on a daily basis. Forget the usual nine-to-five, now is the time to become your own boss. This year’s issue brings you wisdom from advisers as well as
conversations with leading franchisors and franchisees in the industry. Turn to page 10 for our cover interview with three McDonald’s franchisees at different stages of their journeys with the quick-service restaurant. There’s also the ‘What’s hot’ features throughout profiling some of the leading names in care, food, cleaning, management, retail, hands-on and kid’s activity franchises. Head to page 87 for the ultimate franchise directory, where we’ve
collaborated with the industry’s hottest businesses to form the top guide packed full with all the brands worth knowing and investing in – the perfect coffee table mag to refer back to time and time again! Here at The Franchise Magazine, we have once again put our all into
sourcing the best and most up-to-date information on franchising to keep you going all year. Enjoy!
