Start your own sport and
physical activity business

There is a start up fee of £600 (inc VAT) which covers your starter pack and first three months' license fees. Once you have completed your first three months with Sports Xtra, you will move on to the standard rate of £149 per month (inc VAT).

Typically a franchisor will ask you to pay an initial franchise fee of £7,500 - £15,000 (we also used to) as recruiting and setting up new franchisees is expensive including due diligence, legal costs, exclusive territories and residential training. Through the benefit of technology, we've re-engineered our business model to remove a number of these costs to us and we've passed that saving directly on to you. In fact the main reason we ask for the first three months fees up front is to filter out the time wasters!

We see three main differences. Firstly, you do not have an exclusive territory in which to operate as we've found that this business is more about relationships than postcodes. Once you have acquired a parent or a school as a customer, they are your's to lose and if you continually exceed their expectations, they will remain your customers for years. Secondly, you will have to be present at every session that is delivered: our focus is on quality experiences for the consumers and the best way for us to achieve that is if you are present in person. Finally, rather than attending our offices for your training, we use an e-learning platform which we find offers a better solution at a fraction of the cost. Using the e-learning, you can complete the on-boarding in your own time and review modules as necessary. We've found that intensive franchise training can result in information overload!

Everything you will need to get started: three items of uniform, lanyards, folders, business cards, stickers, pens etc.

We are looking for ambitious individuals that are passionate about engaging and impacting young people in physical activity. If you are a confident deliverer, we can teach you the "business" aspects so you can provide yourself with a lucrative income. We have examples of coaches that have previously been employed by a third party literally doubling their annual income by joining us as a Children's Activity Professional. If the only thing holding you back is the fear of the unknown, such as insurance, invoicing and tax implications, we have all that covered for you.

In a nutshell, our aim has been to provide everything you could need to run a successful business so that the only things you have to worry about is following the simple processes and delivering great experiences.

Yes, absolutely, you will need to do this to run successful holiday courses, however the restriction is that you must be present at every event.

This depends entirely on you and how driven you are. Working part-time hours yields likely income of £40-64 per hour whereas working as a Children's Activity Professional on a full time basis is likely to generate you between £20k-40k.

We will explain this in more detail as part of the application process.

Whereas a franchisee agreement is typically five years in duration, we understand that not everyone can commit to that length of time. We therefore offer a more flexible rolling agreement that requires only two months notice.
