CD Franchise specialises in selling CDs online. With the implementation of the Digital Economy Act, which makes the internet service providers responsible for individuals who download music illegally, experts are predicting a rise in sales of CDs. This has been the case in Sweden and Tawain following the introduction of legislation in both countries.

Focusing on quality back catalogue CDs rather than the latest releases CD Franchise appeals to a market that has a clear affinity with CDs, either because of superior sound quality over digital downloads or because they prefer a physical product with inlay information and photographs.

CD sales still accounted for 73 per cent of all music revenues in 2009, and many deleted used CDs are now collectables and worth several times more than their original price.

Included in the franchise fee of £2,995 is full training and ongoing support, a professionally designed online shop and £1,995 worth of initial stock.
