One launch programme, with your own identity and a year of personal guidance.
The founding intake is designed to help shape the programme through honest feedback and practical experience. We'll discuss suitability and the full scope before you commit.
Samples, tools, practical training, advertising, hosting and working capital are additional where needed. We'll help you identify what applies to your business.
Proposed future programme price: £4,995
Draft pricing for review. Final scope, total payable including any applicable VAT, and payment arrangements will be confirmed before enrolment. No payment is taken here.
Consider where your startup budget goes—and what you'll continue paying as your sales grow. A franchise and an independent business offer different kinds of support and control.

Choose on value as well as fees. Franchise packages differ and may provide benefits you would need to arrange independently. Compare actual proposals and contracts. Neither route guarantees income or profit, and both require working capital and other business expenditure.
*Academy prices are draft proposals. The VAT position and final total payable are not yet confirmed. The programme fee is not your total startup cost. Optional extra support and ongoing website costs are separate.
Ian reports paying a 9% franchise fee plus a 2% marketing fee, with VAT added, during his time as a franchisee. Using that combined 11% as an example, £250,000 of annual turnover subject to those fees would generate £27,500 in fees, plus VAT.
Illustration: £250,000 × (9% + 2%) = £27,500, before VAT on the fees. Based on Ian's reported historical experience, not a current quote or industry-wide rate. It is not an earnings forecast or a like-for-like profit saving: packages, revenue definitions, support, marketing expenditure and other costs differ.
