Following the acquisition of Cash Generator by Rcapital in September 2017, the business was immediately returned to a Franchise only model. Having successfully completed a complex restructuring, this enabled a stable, franchise-focused, business to emerge. This paved the way for a successful Franchisee-led MBO. On completion of the buyout deal, there were 54 franchisees, employing over 500 people, operating 110 retail stores on High Streets across the UK.
