Do you want to run your own retail business but unsure of how to take the next step?

Then why not Come and RIDE with the fastest BFA approved bicycle retailer in the UK

A fully-fitted, fully stocked store will cost in the region of £50,000 inclusive of VAT, depending on size of store & location. Raleigh does not charge any fees so in essence you are investing that money in yourself and your business.

Raleigh is not like any other franchisor. Our income comes from the franchisee retailing our product. Raleigh will contribute 50% towards store re-fit and signage. We will also contribute to your marketing launch.

In 2006 the average store turnover for an established franchisee was between £150,000 and £200,000. The financial models developed for prospective franchisees show this level of sales can produce a net trading profit of around £25,000 (before tax & personal drawings).

We are looking for franchise partners that are able to give a full-time commitment to the business with a hands-on work approach.

It helps to have an interest in bikes and the outdoors market.

You need to have a positive attitude, be enthusiastic about running your own business, have good interpersonal skills, be prepared to work hard and have lots of commonsense. You need to be able to raise the necessary working capital and you must have some cash of your own to put into the business.
