McDonald's is one of only a handful of brands that command instant recognition in virtually every country of the world. McDonald's began with one restaurant in the US in 1955 and today there are more than 30,000 restaurants in 119 countries, serving around 39 million people every day - making McDonald's by far the largest food service company in the world.
To operate a McDonald's franchise you need the managerial and personal skills necessary to run a business employing 50 or more people and serving half-a-million customers a year. You'll also have to make a personal commitment to run the business, day in, day out, for at least 20 years.
We look for individuals with a demonstrated ability to lead and manage people, good common sense and a track record of success in whatever they are doing. A restaurant background is not necessary, nor is a large amount of capital - although you will be asked to make a personal investment in the business. We franchise only to individuals, not partnerships, absentee investors or families.
Investment Requirement: From £85,000
