1. What is the franchise fee?
Our franchise fee is £20,000. This investment includes the rights to operate under our established brand, along with access to comprehensive training, support systems, and our proven business model. As we are accredited by the British Franchise Association (BFA) and have a network of thriving franchises, leading banks are more likely to provide financing to approved candidates. This makes securing funding to purchase the franchise much more accessible for future franchisees.
2. What kind of support will I receive?
We are committed to supporting our franchisees every step of the way. This includes initial training in all aspects of running the business, ongoing operational support, marketing resources, and access to our network of current franchisees who work together to share knowledge and support.
3. How long does it take to launch a franchise?
From the initial application to the grand opening, it typically takes about 3–6 months to launch a franchise. This timeline includes time for training, securing financing, and finding a suitable location if needed. We work closely with each new franchisee to ensure that all steps are managed efficiently for a smooth start.
4. What are the financial requirements to qualify as a franchisee?
In addition to the franchise fee, we require franchisees to have a certain level of available capital to cover initial operating costs, such as location setup, staffing, and marketing. While funding options may be available through banks, it’s important to discuss your financial situation with our team to ensure you have a solid foundation for success.
5. Is prior experience in the industry required?
Ideally, successful franchisees will have some prior experience in the delivery of children’s sports, activities or education. However, training and qualifications will be provided. This is a perfect opportunity for teachers who are looking for a change, sports coaches looking for the next step in their career or an ex-professional sports person looking for new opportunities. Our comprehensive training program equips you with all the knowledge and skills you need to run the franchise effectively. We seek driven individuals with a passion for our brand and a willingness to learn and adapt to our proven methods.
6. Will I have a protected territory?
Yes, each franchisee is granted a defined territory, protecting your investment and ensuring you have the opportunity to build and grow your business without local competition from other franchisees. We’ll work with you to define a region that offers strong growth potential.
7. What are the ongoing fees or royalties?
In addition to the initial franchise fee, franchisees are required to pay ongoing royalties, which contribute to the continued support, marketing, and development of the franchise network. This rate is based on a percentage of your monthly revenue and is designed to be sustainable as your business grows.
8. How do I apply to become a franchisee?
The application process is straightforward. After expressing your interest, you’ll be invited to complete a franchise application form and meet with our team to discuss your goals and qualifications. If both sides agree that it’s a good fit, we’ll proceed with next steps, including financing, training, and the
signing of the franchise agreement.
