Then our Franchise package is for you
Do a search on www.google.co.uk by typing in “massage course” or “beginners massage” or sports massage and you will find that Essentials for Health appears on the first page. 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;
ü Relevant training and experience in the therapy you want to teach
ü Teacher training and experience
ü 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.
In the initial phase of developing franchises, we are looking for people to become agents to promote our intensive massage diploma in their area for a set fee.
Licence Package
If you would like to retain a greater degree of autonomy and maintain your own brand, whilst still having access to our course manuals, training prgrammes, BTEC level 4 exams and ongoing support from a network of franchisees and licensees then our per student licence agreement may meet your needs.
If you would like to discuss these details further please call Gill on 0845 1080088
