Annual Turnover of UK Franchise Units by Sector

Based on results from the 2008 NatWest/BFA Franchise Survey:

Store retailing continues to perform strongly, posting the highest average sales of £588,000, followed by Hotel & Catering (£380,000) and Transport & Vechicle Services (£348,000). Business & Commercial Services remains the smallest sector by average turnover, with two-fifths of the franchisees selling less than £50,000 annually.

Note: These figures are based on three year averages to dampen data fluctuations due to the relatively base sizes at a sector level.
