The 2010 edition of The UK Franchise Directory is now available! Listing over 1,400 franchisors and almost 200 Irish franchisors, this awarding winning directory is an absolute must read for anybody considering franchising.

Now in its 23rd year, The UK Franchise Directory is a valuable guide to the franchise industry providing over 70 pages of comprehensive advice and guidance from bfa-affiliated consultants, lawyers and industry professionals. Whether you are new to franchising or not, The UK Franchise Directory is designed to educate and help you find franchise opportunities. It is also invaluable to those considering expanding their business through franchising.

Over the last six months, interest in franchising has soared by over 100% as people feeling threatened by the recent recession, look for future security under the franchise umbrella. Franchising has grown in popularity and stature as more and more people realise the benefits of investing in a franchise: a more successful and stable way to start your own business and avoid pitfalls associated with self-employment.

Richard Chatten, Editor comments "Franchising encompasses a broad range of industries and business types and with so much choice and information available it can be quite daunting to know where to start. The information provided in this directory can be used to help direct you to the best franchise opportunity that meets your qualifications and personal goals."

Famous brands are featured in this latest edition which includes McDonald's, Pizza Hut, CeX, ChipsAway, Orange and Rohan.

The directory is supported online at theukfd.net which, while by no means a replacement for the printed edition, offers more editorial based insights into the companies and regular updates. All franchises listed in the print directory will display a weblink leading directly to an online information page with more editorial about the franchise.
