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.

How much does it cost to start a franchise?

Creation Station Franchise Pack

Email Me My Free Information Pack

    I always enjoyed arts & crafts and loved working with children, so Creation Station sounded fab when I applied to work for Erin. I was working for Erin for around a year when she said she was expecting her 3rd baby and that she would be selling the business. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to run the business myself and I benefitted from all the existing classes and great local partnerships. Create Club was also established, and I have continued to work with that school, and 5 more, 6 years later! It was great to hit the ground running straight after training and my classes were ready to go. The benefits of flexibility have meant I have run my business throughout the pandemic and have welcomed my first baby as well.

    I found The Creation Station when I was looking for an opportunity that would give me more flexibility to spend time with my family and also allow me to be creative. When I discovered the opportunity to run my own business using an existing customer base, I was thrilled. It was reassuring to know that there was already a community of people who knew about The Creation Station. The training and ongoing support have been invaluable. Having access to a supportive network means that I always have someone to turn to with questions or concerns. I have big dreams for my business, and with the wide range of sessions on offer, I know that families will stay engaged for years. Seeing children grow and develop through the program is a magical experience that fills me with warmth and joy. I am grateful to have a job that provides such fulfilment and satisfaction.
