The UK's most exciting and dynamic home based franchise presents a distinct and ground breaking opportunity for just one entrepreneur in each and every area in the UK and Ireland!

CityLocal is run by local people who care about local issues and want to encourage local trade. Aside from being a home business of which you can be proud, it's a local business directory and a local community hub packed with information and free services the public loves to use.

CityLocal brings these services together into one easy to access web site and offers new hard working advertising space for businesses and provides genuine benefits to their local customers, the local public.

So What Does This Mean To You?

CityLocal is looking for entrepreneurs with ambition and drive to develop their own profitable business in their local area.

Within 12 months of franchising it is already a successful concept. CityLocal has smashed traffic rankings and is probably the busiest online web site in its category per franchisee! With a forecast of over 150million hits over the next 12 months, CityLocal is on target to become the largest local business and community information website in the UK and Ireland.

Become part of the future of online internet advertising and be part of this success story. Join CityLocal and gain a website ready to generate income.

Prices start from £9900 + VAT.

How Does That Work?

Jamie Watters, CityLocal's first Multisite owner comments:

"CityLocal is just too good an opportunity to miss. As an investor, the return on investment is absolutely first rate. No other franchise that I looked at can give me the long term passive income stream that I have been looking for. With CityLocal, I can envisage time in the future where I can go away for 3 months, come back not only knowing that I have made money, but the business will have made more money than when I left. I am genuinely excited to be part of a brilliant business opportunity."

The main companies that people turn to, to find local information is through national companies like Yell & Thomson's. Although these companies are good for finding basic information, they are national companies trying to be local.

More and more people are searching for local suppliers on the internet, but often, only the most basic of information is available from the national directories. This is all changing with CityLocal!

You can generate a strong monthly income where customers stay for the long term giving you a real income security.
