2. Franchisees enjoy massive earning potential.

Venture Studios franchisees regularly generate turnovers of over £440,000. In return for a total investment of just £70,000, that’s more than good business.

Venture Studios franchisees also earn much more than the industry average. According to a British Franchise Association (BFA) 2018 survey, franchises based in the personal services sector turn over an average of £344,000. The average Venture Studios franchisee outperforms that number by over £100,000.

The Venture Studios franchise model makes sure that franchisees take home 10-15 percent of that turnover, on top of a salary of £25,000. With some franchisees producing these results and more in their opening year, the benefits of joining a franchise over starting a photography business from scratch are clear.

After opening his initial studio in Leamington Spa, Chris expanded into a high-potential Birmingham city centre location in 2017. Following plenty of success, he cut the ribbon on his third premises in Leicester in February 2019.

From day one, they were assisted by the brand’s franchise team in finding a location, securing a premises, recruitment and staff training.

1. Social media is driving demand. With people across the world becoming more and more invested in their online personas, photography businesses are making healthy gains. Customers are more willing than ever to pay for a few professionally taken photographs that keep the Instagram likes rolling in. So, it’s safe to say that you can enjoy the peace of mind of that comes with knowing that you’re investing in a future-proof business.

2. Businesses are a key client base. In the age of the internet, businesses of all sizes are having to improve their websites. They need expert portrait shots of staff members to communicate professionalism and transparency. By opening a photography business, you can take them and receive top dollar in return.

3. Smartphone cameras can’t compete with DSLRs. No matter what the phone companies say, iPhone and android cameras can’t produce an image that compares with one taken with professional camera equipment. In photography, detail matters; everything from the right zoom to the correct aperture needs to be spot on to produce a stunning image.
