WELCOME

TO THE UK’S BIGGEST AND BUSIEST FRANCHISE SHOW, RETURNING TO EXCEL LONDON!

Have you ever wanted to own your own business? To work for yourself, but not by yourself? Have you ever dreamed of owning a franchise? The International Franchise Show is your gateway to starting your business journey, with access to exceptional franchising opportunities from around the globe. Whether you're looking to invest in a certain brand or want to see the different opportunities, this event is designed to support aspiring business owners like you.

For more than 14 years, we’ve connected individuals with leading franchisors, and our 2025 show will continue that. We’ve made this a chance for you to engage directly with industry leaders, learn from experienced experts, and explore franchises that match your ambitions and lifestyle, for free. From expert-led keynotes and panel discussions to invaluable networking opportunities and hands-on interactions with top brands, the show offers everything you need to start your career.

This showguide is your ultimate resource for planning your visit and maximising your experience at the event. Take note of the keynotes you don’t want to miss, the seminars and live panel discussions you’re eager to join, and the exhibitors you’d like to meet and connect with.

In the 35 years that I’ve been involved in franchising, I’ve been to many franchise exhibitions, but coming to the International Franchise Show has been absolutely sensational. Even in the last 7 years, I’ve not seen a franchise show as busy as we’ve experienced here. Every day has been jam packed with queues at the door. So I must say, as an exhibitor we are delighted with both the business of the show and the quality of the people we have met on the stand. We will certainly be back next year.

Nigel Dawson easyStorage

What a fantastic show to attend. Not seen a franchise show that busy for 20 or more years. Hope the energy and enthusiasm from the show continues into a load of new franchisees

How To Find the Right Franchise For You

Investing in a franchise is a significant decision and understanding how to thoroughly evaluate each opportunity is essential.

The food and drink sector is a driving force in franchising, fuelled by shifting tastes, fast-paced lifestyles, and the growing demand for fresh, exciting dining experiences. As one of the most dynamic industries, it presents huge opportunities for ambitious entrepreneurs and investors ready to make their mark.

Worth over £200 billion globally, the food franchise market is only getting bigger as people crave convenience without compromising on quality. Quick-service restaurants dominate, making up more than 60% of the market, while the explosion of delivery services, takeaway options, and creative dining formats keeps the industry evolving at pace.

Consumer habits are changing rapidly. Health-conscious menus, plant-based options, and sustainability are no longer niche—they’re shaping the future of food. From nutritious fast food to eco-friendly packaging and ethically sourced ingredients, franchises are reinventing themselves to align with shifting values.

2025 EXHIBITORS

Customers are increasingly looking for meals that are not just tasty and convenient but also ethical and responsible. At the same time, casual dining and street food concepts are rewriting the rulebook, blending bold flavours with immersive, laid-back experiences. Food trucks, pop-ups, and hybrid restaurant models are proving that success doesn’t have to come with a traditional storefront.

These flexible, lower-cost formats allow franchisees to reach customers in new and exciting ways while reducing overheads. Technology is also playing a crucial role in the sector’s transformation.

Automated ordering, app-based loyalty programmes, and AI-driven menu personalisation are making food service faster, smarter, and more customer-focused.

The integration of digital solutions is helping franchises streamline operations, cut costs, and enhance customer experiences, keeping them competitive in an everchanging market.

Despite challenges such as rising costs and changing regulations, the food and drink franchise sector remains one of the most resilient and rewarding industries. Its ability to evolve with consumer preferences and embrace new trends ensures continued growth and opportunity.

With a mix of well-established brands and fresh disruptors shaking up the industry, the food and drink franchise world is bursting with potential—perfect for those hungry to carve out a name in an ever-evolving market.

Global Family

An Exclusive Interview with Master Partner

What is your background?

I was born and raised in East London and graduated from Loughborough University with an Accounting and Financial Management degree before going on to a career in the Banking industry working for Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, and Royal Bank of Canada. I am also a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts (CIMA). I left my Banking career in April 2023 as it was always my ambition to start my own business, specifically a franchise, which led me to the International Franchise Show at the Excel. My first job after school was at McDonald’s in Liverpool Street, which gave me the opportunity to see how a successful franchise works from a young age and planted the seed for my admiration of the franchise world. My purpose is to support my family. I have 10 nieces and 2 nephews, with an age range of 7-24 and it has always been my intention to support the kids who have their own career path and offer an option to those that may want to work with me. Franchising gives me the best chance to fulfil my purpose.

What were you looking for when you attended the show?

My primary focus was to speak to food brands and storage companies but I went there with an open mind and was excited at the opportunity to meet and speak to franchisors and develop my knowledge and understanding of the businesses on show.

Who are you looking for in a candidate?

The candidate would have to share the same values as me. I would want them to be ambitious, proactive and operate with complete integrity. Someone with a growth mindset and a desire to sell through service. The candidate needs to have a passion for sales. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience behind us, with comprehensive training and support to help them succeed, which includes 2 weeks training at our HQ in West Palm Beach Florida.

What attracted you to Fully Promoted?

The biggest factor driving my decision to proceed with Fully Promoted was the quality of people I met and how well I got on with everyone. Fully Promoted is and will always be 100% privately owned and run by the Titus family. As family was my main reason to pursue a franchise, joining an organisation that shared the same values was incredibly important. During my due diligence process, I researched Fully Promoted and the United Franchise Group. With over 35 years in franchising and 12 franchising brands under the umbrella, the opportunity to grow and develop a global brand in the UK and be part of the UFG family was too good to resist.

Franchising in the US From a Legal Perspective

Franchising in the US is highly regulated (unlike in the UK). Discover the difference between the states and devise your market entry strategy.

Franchising in the US is heavily regulated, requiring a detailed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) under the Federal Trade Commission’s rules. In contrast, the UK relies on general commercial laws and self-regulation, offering franchisors more flexibility but less transparency. Understanding these differences is crucial for cross-border expansion. International
