Children's Drama Academy Franchise for sale in Fife and Perthshire

Due to the retirement of the current owner, this well-established and personally rewarding franchise is offered as a going concern.

After-school classes in Speech and Drama are held throughout the region for students aged from 5 to 15.

There are three age groups and the curriculum is integrated, lively and designed to encourage confidence, develop good communication skills and support creativity.

Its aim is to enrich children's lives through a tried and tested programme.

Full training is given regularly through close contact with the franchisor.

Personal transport is essential, and some teaching experience, and/or Drama interest desirable.

Full support and guidance, and comprehensive training in both teaching and business are ongoing: the business can be conducted part-time at first, with many opportunities for expansion, and a fulfilling and rewarding career.

The franchise operates in the geographical area covered by Fife, Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire. The franchisee may conduct classes wherever they prefer but a minimum of 6 locations is advised for a healthy profit. At present, three locations are offered, also profitably: as many as 1 5 have run in the past, and more would be possible.

We hire community halls, church halls, or any location that offers adequate floor space, parking and privacy.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

Expansion is at the franchisee's discretion but the potential within this area is great. Part time staff may also be employed, allowing greater reach: this offers great flexibility for part time workers. All classes are held in the early evenings, after school, and also on Saturdays.

There is a set fee, which is based on the length of each term, which broadly follows the schools timetable, although holiday clubs have also been successful. Although parents are encouraged to pay for the term in full, a payment plan may also be implemented.

Reasons for selling: Retirement

Trading hours: Flexible. Classes last one hour - 3 age groups will therefore last 3 hours, but this too is flexible.

Employees: None at present

Years established: 23

Support & training: Full ongoing support and training in both teaching of the curriculum and in business are ongoing from the franchisor. If necessary, the present owner will remain in post until the buyer is confident. Marketing, safeguarding and financial help are also offered by the franchisor.
