As the curtains draw close on 2020, many will look back on the year as one of their toughest yet. The covid-19 pandemic has upended our entire way of life and created untold hardship for all businesses - regardless of sector or industry.
While many have had to shut their doors for good, other businesses have managed to stay afloat but have suffered financial losses in the process. Lockdowns and additional restrictions have meant the entire businesses models have adapted to ensure that day to day operations can still continue in some shape or form.
Whether it’s moving to an online/virtual model or applying strict social distancing and hygienic practices, many franchises have been able push through the difficulties and have still managed to recruit new franchisees. Some have even seen a record number of enquiries in 2020, in spite of the pandemic!
