Get clear answers about starting your football coaching franchise and building a successful business with We Make Footballers.
A franchise business is a business which the owners, or “franchisors”, sell the rights to their business logo, brand, name, services, operational, sales and marketing processes to an independent operator/individual called “franchisee”. The individual is then able to operate their franchise business using the existing business model with the support and guidance of the franchisor.
We offer comprehensive training covering business operations, coaching techniques, marketing strategies, and administrative skills. Our goal is to equip you with everything needed to run a successful franchise.
Our team provides ongoing marketing support, operational guidance, curriculum updates, and regional networking opportunities to help you grow and succeed.
A monthly 2.5%(+VAT) of your turnover is charged as an advertising contribution which goes towards National marketing of the We Make Footballers brand, website developments and upgrades which in turn benefits franchisees. We also charge a franchise fee on your revenue which ranges depending on the agreement you enter into.
After initial training on how to go about recruiting staff, we will support you so you can build your initial team of coaches. We will setup recruitment adverts online so that you find the best people as we on average receive over 50 Coach applications for each new venue opened. It will be your responsibility to train your coaches but this will be with a great deal of support from us and using the help of our WMF Coach Qualification Programme and Learning App.
