Whilst this is not the only form of marketing, the internet is definitely the key place for us to get most of our business. As soon as you become a franchisee your courses will be listed here too.

We have achieved search engine optimisation. This is just one of many key areas where our expertise will bring in business for you almost immediately.

Costs of setting up in business

We estimate the financial costs of starting up a new business can run into many 10’s of £1,000’s. For example;

Developing the product
Logo creation
Website development
Brochure content created
Brochure design and print
Course manuals written
Database written
Marketing campaigns written
Exam board registration fees
Reliable and cost effective suppliers sourced
Developing procedures
Staff recruitment, training and development
Marketing, advertising, PR and sales
Equipment- couches, teaching aids etc

Taking out a franchise can reduce the costs and significantly speed up the process of opening your school and making a profit. You will also benefit from ongoing support and training.

A successful Franchisee will require a blend of many skills and talents including;

• Relevant training and experience in the therapy you want to teach
• Teacher training and experience
• Business acumen

These skills and talents may be found in one person or in a number of people, for example you may decide to focus on the business and administration side of the business and find other suitable people to teach for your school. This can all be discussed in detail further down your road of investigating whether franchising is for you.
