    You may get some ideas.


    This seems quite good. Some franchises are noted as "up to £5000", bt I have not heard of them.


    BTW the clothes alteration shop I was thinking off in my post above is Zipyard and this site notes it as "up to £50,000" so perhaps not as inexpensive as I thought. Green Thumb is not mentioned on the site.

    I looked into a carpet cleaning franchise and found the cost very inhibiting so I joined a industry forum asked lots of questions bought some second hand gear and went on a industry course that included marketing etc.I was all set up for a fraction of the price .unfortunalty my health failed so i sold the gear but never lost on the expense i have a relative with a huge franchise Printing and hes strugglingto make a profit.
