Frequently asked questions
Why is it investing and not buying?
A franchise is an investment, not just a purchase. You receive training, support, and an exclusive territory. Over time, you can sell it for a profit. It’s like planting an acorn in a forest of oaks – a proven model with growth potential, benefiting both you and the franchisor as it develops.
How do i earn income?
You benefit from 12 all year round income streams, from children, education and adults, so you can maximise your income. We also create individual exclusive territories based on the areas that you want to operate in.
What is my potential earning?
Many of our franchise partners see a full return on their investment within 12 months—sometimes even sooner.
While income can vary and isn’t guaranteed, our proven model, along with our friendly, ongoing support, means you’re set up for success from the start.
Most of our partners earn between £20,000 and £50,000+, depending on their ambition and the income streams they choose to focus on.
One partner runs over 20 after-school clubs each week—bringing in £60,000+ across just 30 school-term weeks, all while making a meaningful difference in children’s lives.
Another has built a flourishing creative business delivering adult craft workshops, both in-person and online. With £25 per head and 20+ guests per session, it’s a joyful and profitable venture.
And one of our partners is generating over £80,000 a year by combining holiday camps, after-school clubs and adult workshops—doing something creative, flexible, and full of purpose.
