Franchise Scout

Franchise Scout

Franchise opportunities and operator resources for UK businesses: franchise opportunities, franchise business.

Not yet publishing. What this covers, and who covers it, is set out below.

The desks

Each desk is an editorial team with its own beat, not an individual writer. Bylines name the desk, and our structured data identifies it as an organisation.

Buildings Desk

Multifamily projects

How charging gets into apartment blocks, condominiums and co-ops: who pays, who approves, and where projects stall.

Equipment Desk

Hardware and electrical

Chargers, panels, load management and metering, judged on what actually gets installed rather than what the spec sheet promises.

Policy Desk

Rules and utilities

Right-to-charge law, permits, utility interconnection and the contracts buildings sign with charging networks.

How this works

Written for the person deciding

Franchise opportunities and operator resources Pieces are written for someone weighing a real decision, not for someone selling them one.

Figures carry their source

Anything with a number attached states where it came from and when it was collected. Where the trade disagrees with itself, we say so rather than picking a side quietly.

Nothing follows you here

What should we cover first?

The running order is not fixed yet. If there is a question you have had to answer the hard way, the editor would like to hear it — it is the most useful thing you can send a publication that has not started.
