Our Story
Franchise Planet was established in 2021 with a straightforward ambition: to build a franchise directory that works for both sides of the transaction. Too many directories prioritise volume over quality, listing hundreds of opportunities with little information and making it difficult for buyers to make meaningful comparisons.
We take a different approach. Every listing on Franchise Planet is detailed, structured and searchable — giving buyers the information they need to make an informed decision, and giving franchisors the confidence that their enquiries are coming from people who are genuinely ready to explore the opportunity.
The Company Behind Franchise Planet
Franchise Planet is owned and operated by Lighthouse Transitions Ltd, a business services group with deep roots in the UK franchising sector. Lighthouse Transitions brings together a range of complementary businesses united by a common purpose: helping business owners and entrepreneurs make the right decisions at the right time.
Our Commitment
We are committed to presenting franchise opportunities accurately and without bias. We do not rank listings based on advertising spend alone, and we do not fabricate enquiry numbers or inflate reach statistics. Every piece of information you see on a listing page has been provided by the franchisor and is presented as supplied.
We also take your privacy seriously. When you submit an enquiry, your details are shared only with the specific franchisor or their appointed consultant — never sold to third parties or used for unsolicited marketing without your consent. You can read our full Privacy Policy here.
List Your Franchise
If you’re a franchisor or franchise consultant looking to reach prospective franchisees, we’d love to hear from you. Franchise Planet offers straightforward monthly plans with no long-term contracts, giving you full control of your listing from day one.
