About World Options

World Options, a leading provider of shipping solutions, offers an attractive franchise opportunity for those interested in becoming their own boss. With a range of benefits, including:

  • a non-geographic sales territory, so you cannot only acquire customers from anywhere in the UK but also work from wherever you choose.
  • Earn a residual income, that scales as you acquire and provide services to any of the 6 million + SME’s in the UK.
  • an established member of The British Franchise Association, with 100+ franchisees and a successful franchise model for over 11 years. We have an established member accreditation, which is granted to franchisors who can prove a sustained trading, financial and franchising record.

Financial Requirements

The franchise also offers funding opportunities from leading banks, the ability to earn residual income, and uncapped earnings with the support of mentors. Additionally, franchisees can work from home and enjoy the flexibility of working hours and location.

Unlimited Growth Potential

As individuals set up and acquire more customers, they build a passive income that accumulates over time. With the full support of mentors, individuals can scale their businesses to the desired level. Our proven franchise model sees almost a third of franchisees regularly earning a six-figure margin.

In 2022, World Options franchisees saw a consecutive year-on-year:

  • Double-digit increase in franchise revenue.
  • Double-digit increase in franchise margin.
  • Double-digit increase in the number of shipping customers.
