We have franchise opportunities in all English speaking countries, such as the United Kingdom, USA, Australia, South Africa, Canada, The Caribbean and many more. These sites will appeal to the local population as well as tourists and English speakers looking to emigrate.

We also have franchise opportunities in every non-English speaking country in the world. As record numbers of English speakers move abroad for lifestyle reasons, retirement or work, there are few countries in the world that do not have a sizeable population of English speakers. A Guide2TheWorld site in a country where English is not the official language will appeal to English speaking residents, tourists and those who are looking to come and live in that particular country. We especially see the markets of France, Spain, and Eastern Europe as prime opportunities to create a successful Guide2TheWorld franchise.

We believe that a Guide2TheWorld site looks better than any competitor’s site, allowing our franchise partners the competitive edge from the outset. We also have significant funding in place to allow us to keep ahead of the competition, to invest in new technologies as we see fit, and rapidly expand the franchise network and, it follows, the strength of the Guide2TheWorld brand.

Guide2TheWorld offers a vast amount of content to our visitors; in fact a Guide2TheWorld site is fully comprehensive, covering Local News, Property, Accommodation, Events, Classifieds, Local Attractions, Directory, Blogs, Message Boards and more. Unlike the many directory sites that exist, each Guide2TheWorld site provides a one-stop source of information for the local community, meaning there’s no need for our visitors to look elsewhere. This means a valuable audience for our advertisers.

As well as a cutting edge website, A Guide2TheWorld site has a concise, factual, editorial style with unique bullet point summary of each article that allows visitors to quickly ascertain whether they’ve found the information they’re looking for and whether they want to read on.

Each site earns revenue through providing advertising, affiliate or commission deals to local businesses. Being more than just a directory site means we have a whole array of solutions we can offer to a local businesses for their marketing needs, including directory listings, banner ads, button ads, advertorials,websites, property listings, accommodation listings, classifieds (small ads, jobs, cars and more). Combine this with the growth of a powerful global brand, an easily memorable name, and a ground-breaking site design and we believe that this offers a hugely exciting franchise opportunity.

Having launched successful Guide2TheWorld sites in Croatia and Bristol (UK), we are now inviting applications from candidates looking to join our franchise network and own a piece of our Guide2 TheWorld.
