Future Plans

Around the world, parents are investing in extracurricular activities for their children which offer personal development as well as being fun. Our international presence is increasing, with more families thinking of us as the go-to performing arts provider. This is having an incredible impact on student numbers, allowing our franchisees to really expand their businesses.

Once you have 200+ students in your territory and are earning an average of £70,000 per year, you can look to expand further with additional territories, opening more schools and utilising managers, allowing you to take on more of a director-level role. With multiple territories established, you could be earning £150,000+ per year and have the security of an asset of considerable value to sell in the future.
