Why franchising beats starting your own business
Becoming a franchisee means you’re investing in a ready-to-go business, with a proven business model and existing customer base. You don’t need to spend time researching and planning, putting processes in place, or even building brand recognition – all of this is done for you!
As a franchisee, you’re never on your own. Part of a network of like-minded individuals, you’ll always have support from HQ and your fellow franchisees. Having ongoing access to practical advice, whether you’re looking for ideas on how to grow, or recruit the best people, makes franchising the ideal way to own a business and feel fully supported in being successful.

Any Questions?
We understand that you may have questions! We’ve included some common ones here, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any more.
We have developed the support infrastructure to ensure that you have the best opportunity to rapidly grow your business and increase your impact. You will be allocated a franchisee mentor who will support you for the first 14 months of your business as well as the ongoing support of everyone at head office. You will be invited to attend core training sessions throughout the year to ensure you are kept up to date with exciting delivery and brand developments. You will also receive an invite to our annual National Training Event. Our central support team is available to you via our online business management system.
The initial franchise agreement term is for five years. Renewals are also five years, granted on set terms and further business planning. The initial franchise fee isn’t required for renewals. A copy of the Franchise Agreement with full details will be made available through the recruitment process.
Yes. A major part of the recruitment process is the completion of your 24-month business plan. You will receive support and guidance from us and we will appoint an independent business planning partner to help you complete your business plan and financial forecasts.
Yes. We have long, established relationships with the franchise teams at many high street banks and our partners at Franchise Finance. In light of our successful trading history and full membership with the British Franchise Association (BFA) you will have access to preferential bank finance packages. Typically, the bank will lend you up to 70% of your overall working capital requirement. There are also start-up loans available for up to £25,000 to help you launch your business. Finance is subject to status and we are happy to look into this for you.
You will be given access to our coach candidate database which holds thousands of names of people who have applied to work for Premier Education. In addition, a dedicated franchisee mentor is on hand to support you with the recruitment process and beyond. We have an app-based recruitment system which is fully integrated with our database of potential coaches. It gives you much more control over recruitment whilst reducing the number of hours required to find the perfect team.
After attending one of our Discovery Sessions, we are happy to share our franchise agreement with you. We are also able to recommend BFA affiliated lawyers so you are able to get this independently checked.
Of course – this is something we actively encourage. Not only can you speak with our network of existing franchisees, you will have the opportunity to observe a ‘day in the life of a franchisee’ and attend a delivery session where possible.
Areas are made up of at least 75 primary schools and are exclusive to the owner. Many franchisees go on to purchase more than one territory, subject to further business planning and approval. We are happy to discuss expansion plan costs with you.
