In the spring of 2024, more than 600 companies declared themselves franchisors, says Franchise Group founder Myroslava Kozachuk. However, over the past six months, the launch of new franchises has decreased - entrepreneurs are more cautious, postponing the start for six months or even a year. The reasons? Electricity shortages, staff shortages (especially for sellers and cooks) and people's desire to save money.
At the same time, the retail and food industry sectors have the fewest problems. They provide stable demand and meet the basic needs of consumers. Bakery stores, pizzerias and other HoReCa formats are most often opened under a franchise. Fast payback is also characteristic of vending machines.
