Franchisees deliver multi-sport and fun programs all year round, with low operating costs and flexible work hours.
Hire for Baby
This 32-year-old franchise provides baby equipment hires and services such as car seat installations and restraint fittings. Customers are typically families who are travelling and need a pram, car seat or other item for their littlest family members. The business caters for new babies with a range of equipment suited to their needs.
A mere $25,000 will buy you a branch franchise which you’ll be operating directly; the cost includes the franchise fee, 12 month’s stock, and working capital.
If you’ve got more to spend, or have bigger ambitions, an upfront $25,000 investment will secure an executive franchise which allows you to develop your region with operator franchisees. Then you’ll add in the $10,000 stock cost and $5,000 working capital.
Right now Hire For Baby has plenty of opportunities in both categories.
