We’re seeing something pretty wonderful happen in the world of franchising!

Did you know that back in 2005, only 20% of franchisees in the UK were women? Fast forward to now, and it’s 40% (according to data by the BFA)! That’s double in less than 20 years. Pretty brilliant, isn’t it?

It’s not just numbers – it’s a real shift in how women are approaching work. More flexible, more meaningful, and actually enjoyable.

It’s a sign of a bigger shift for women in business!

Entrepreneurship is becoming more inclusive, more flexible, and more purpose-driven.

And if you’ve ever thought about being part of a movement, and running a business that fits your life (not the other way around), franchising could be your ticket.

Let me give you a real-life example. Kim, our On Broadway® Dance Fitness franchisee in Cheshire, used to think she had to work crazy hours just to climb the corporate ladder:

 

“The security of the corporate world I knew used to seem like the only option to take care of my new family. But fast forward to today and I am over 3 years into living my dream, building and running a dance fitness business! My life is now fulfilling, joyful and easy thanks to the On Broadway® Dance Fitness franchise.”

That’s the magic of franchising.

As a franchisee, you get:

  • a proven business.
  • fantastic support and training.
  • the freedom to shape it around your life, your family, the school run, your hobbies.
  • the chance to leave the corporate world and finally do what makes you happy.

And here’s the really exciting bit – if you’re reading this blog as someone already exploring this path, you could one day be one of the women helping that 40% statistic grow even bigger in 2026 and beyond. Just by being here & reading this message, you are already stepping into a movement that’s changing the face of UK business. That’s pretty powerful, and we’re so happy to have you here!

If you’ve ever thought “maybe I could do a job that I love someday,” franchising might just be the way to do something meaningful – on your terms.
