What Franchise Magazine Vol.17 No.5 Back Issue

This issue is all about new beginnings, which is why
we’ve dedicated such a large portion of it to providing you with bestin-
class, dependable, and professional tips and
guides on how to start your own business and
make a success of it. If the prospect of
changing your direction in life and being your
own boss in a fresh sector or harnessing a different
discipline appeals to you, then head to p.34 for our indepth
Powerbrands report, which focuses on brands that
don't necessarily require franchisees to have previous
experience running their businesses. From a chef that
became a bee specialist to an accountant that went on to be
the principal of her own theatre school, there are plenty of
inspirational stories to check out and indispensable tips to
apply to your own journey.
Fresh beginnings doesn’t always mean completely
changing tact, either. A new start can mean expanding your
horizons, which is why we’ve compiled a deep-dive feature
on how to grow your business portfolio and scale
up your current situation. Make sure to read Linda
Whitney’s feature on multi-unit franchising and why
more is better on p.42.
Elsewhere, we interview business expert and
erstwhile Dragon’s Den ‘Dragon’ Kelly Hoppen CBE
to get the scoop on how to run a renowned business,
we run-through the best business-to-business
brands to invest in in 2022, and have our usual
array of industry experts and columnists
on hand to help you on your path to
start-up success. Enjoy – and have a
great start to your year!
