Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Same-day parcels network Securicor Pony Express is moving into franchising for its new sites to allow it to increase its depot network from 36 to 66 over the next three years.

The courier, part of the Securicor Group, will ask potential franchisees for a joining fee of £8,000-£15,000. It estimates recruits will need £25,000 working capital to cover such costs as premises and staff.

Currently the Worthing, West Sussex-based business turns over £20m with 180 vans, 460 motor cycles and more than 750 staff.

It recruited its first franchisee in Kingston upon Thames last week.

It plans to expand into sites at Basingstoke, Guildford, Oxford, Exeter, Brighton, St Albans, Colchester, Leicester and Coventry.
