- As a franchisee you will be responsible for managing and marketing the business. That means you will be marketing to and meeting with head teachers, nursery owners, holiday programme leaders. See our section on ‘The Support’ for details of our appointment making system. You will recruit, train and manage a team of people to deliver the classes on your behalf.
- Payment for classes is usually from the parents of the children attending and is paid in advance. In some instances schools fund or subsidise classes or local authorities subsidise holiday programmes.
