Franchise Direct’s
Top 100 Franchises report
launched in the UK this year andis the first of its kind to exist in the British franchise industry.
The UK Top 100 follows our seminal US Top 100 franchises report, which has been in operation for 10 years. It provides an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to compare franchise systems and is frequently cited by industry professionals across North America.
Our report analysed some of the top franchise businesses operating in the UK today, using information from company-submitted data, published industry sources and third-partyresources. Franchises were ranked using criteria such as revenue, market expansion, growth and number of years in operation. Consideration was also given to franchises that had an environmental policy in place, offered financial assistance to their franchisees or received awards or other forms of recognition. The data was put through Franchise Direct’s ranking methodology to ensure an objective outcome.
Eazi-Apps
secured a well-deserved spot in Franchise Direct’s UK Top 100. As an internet franchise with a global reach, the brand offers a very unique investment opportunity. Mobile apps are invaluable in the business world and Eazi-Apps’ powerful drag and drop platform makes it very easy for franchisees to offer mobile apps to local business customers. No IT or design experience is needed and franchisees have the option to be home-based.
Anne-Claire Herel, leading author of the report says: “As a long-standing client of Franchise Direct, Eazi-Apps’ have achieved phenomenal growth. The British tech industry is on the rise, with more and more businesses operating online and enjoying the benefits of working remotely.

For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
Not all agencies need to offer “everything.” In fact, niching down can make your services more profitable, easier to sell, and faster to deliver. Whether you're starting solo or building a team, here are five in-demand, low-overhead services you can offer right now.
