Property Services may account for nearly a quarter of all franchise systems, however, Hotel & Catering franchise systems have the largest number of units/franchisees.
From the 2008 NatWest/BFA Franchise Survey, here are how things break down by industry:
- Hotels & Catering: 8,100
- Store Retailing: 5,100
- Personal Services: 5,900
- Property Sevices: 6,650
- Transportation & Vehicle Services:2,925
- Business & Commercial Services: 5,525
All total there are 34,200 franchisees/units, the highest number since tracking began in 1984. This represents a 8% growth over the previous year.
