Subway franchisees benefit from operating a tried and tested system with excellent training and support which includes help with site selection, leasing, purchasing, and marketing.

Subway chain development agent Neil Black said: “This support has proved to be very successful and the fact that over 70 per cent of all new Subway franchises sold worldwide are sold to existing owners, speaks volumes. The franchise system has widespread appeal, with the low investment, simple operation and excellent support making it an attractive proposition for entrepreneurs across the world.”

Mr Black, who is the franchisee of six stores and development agent for 109 stores, advises prospective franchisees to focus on researching the franchise, the market and competitors, be passionate  about their business and products and to know their limits.

He added: “Franchising is all about working to a tried and tested system and you need to be able to work within the parameters of the franchise processes.”
