Run your own Chozen franchise

We currently have over 30 franchise and owner operations across our Asian-led brands.

What we don’t want to be is the next KFC, however, if you want to get involved in helping us build the business and are prepared to work hard to make it happen then we would like to hear from you.  As you would expect we offer a full package of support and training.

In terms of capital, you will need a minimum of £60,000 to invest into your Chozen Franchise, with the total cost being dependent on the location and size of operation.

FAQs

Are Chozen Noodle members of the British Franchise Association?

We are not currently members of the BFA but all our documentation and Legal agreements were drawn up based on the BFA’s Ethical Code of Practice by our Lawyers.

What qualifications do I need to become a successful Chozen Franchisee?

You need to have a strong desire and drive to build your own business. Self-motivation is more important than what your skills are, however hospitality skills and a good service mentality are a definite bonus. You must be willing to devote your full time and attention to the day-to-day operations and expansion of the business.

What are my chances of success?

The numbers speak for themselves. Entering into business as a franchisee dramatically improves your chances of success. Bank mangers prefer lending to Franchisees for the simple reason that in new business start-ups the failure rate within the first two years for non-franchised business is 70% whilst the failure rate for franchised business is less than 10%

What are the main challenges a new franchises face?

Getting the right locations is the primary challenge. It takes time and can be frustrating. We help by providing site options that come to us from our franchisee landlord and agency network across the UK however it can also be the franchisee who finds the right opportunity. We will then visit the location and approve it if we think it’s going to work.
