A business with history, a future with you
A business with history, a future with you
Here’s the thing: not everyone wants to start a business from scratch. Some people want something proven. Something already in motion. That’s what this campaign is about.
The Next Chapter: Franchise Resales campaign showcases live opportunities from trusted BFA member brands across the UK. These are businesses with track records: real trading history, trained staff, customer bases and room to grow.
We’ve teamed up with BusinessesForSale.com, the UK’s biggest business resale platform, to get these opportunities in front of serious buyers. And with HSBC UK supporting the campaign, you’ll also get expert advice on what funding a resale franchise really looks like, from people who’ve helped thousands do just that.
Every listing here is from a BFA member brand, so you can trust the model, the standards and the intent behind the sale.
If you’re looking for something that’s already built but ready for new energy, this is where to begin.
In partnership with BusinessesForSale.com

More franchisors. More opportunities. More momentum.
Resales are no longer a side note in franchising, they’re a growing part of the sector. In 2024, 66% of franchisors expect to offer at least one resale unit. That’s a big jump from 51% in 2018 and just 45% in 2015. What this really means is: resale opportunities are becoming a standard part of franchise management. Networks are maturing. Franchisees are retiring. And franchisors are using resales strategically to adapt, grow and reset their markets.
For buyers, this opens the door to established businesses with local brand awareness, staff in place and real trading history. It’s a chance to step in with momentum on day one. And with an estimated 2,600 resale units coming to market this year, there’s more choice than ever for serious business buyers ready to take on something proven.
Real advice from people who know the space.
We’ve partnered with two major players to help buyers better understand the resale process. HSBC UK shares what funding a franchise resale really involves – from eligibility to due diligence to making the numbers work. BusinessesForSale.com, the UK’s largest business resale marketplace, will also share practical advice for buyers navigating the resale space (coming soon).
Whether you’re comparing opportunities or planning next steps, this campaign isn’t just about listings – it’s about clarity. And the right support at the right time.

Franchising is more than just a business model,
it’s a life-changing opportunity.
Franchising is a business relationship between two parties. This comprises of the franchisor, who owns the brand and business system, and the franchisee, who via a franchise agreement is able to trade under the brand.
