Franchise Concept & Key Figures

Franchising details

Are you a parent looking for a fun and flexible home-based business opportunity? A highly motivated achiever looking to move beyond the corporate world? Then you may be interested in acquiring a Families magazine franchise.

Owning a Families magazine franchise allows you to work flexibly from home. You can juggle your own hours, be your own boss and build an asset to sell in the future. At the same time, you can access full training, back up and support from an experienced team at Head Office.

Families is an established magazine franchise with a proven history and track record dating back 25 years. Families trail-blazed the free parenting magazine model and is a leader in the field. So you don’t need prior publishing experience: you are buying tried and tested business practices and a complete package of resources to run your business. We have 35 existing editions publishing more than 4 million copies a year and are now looking to start new franchises in many areas of the UK including Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff, Sheffield, Nottinghamshire, Norwich, Leicestershire and Rutland, Derby, Wiltshire, Kent, Sussex, Bath, Bristol, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and East London. Our existing franchises sometimes come up for sale too, so do enquire if you live outside of these areas.

Families magazines are aimed at parents with children 0-12 years. Well known for our What’s On listings and articles on local things to do – readers tell us we are the best. We are also known for tackling big topics and providing solid advice on parenting, health, childcare and education. Parents trust us.The loyalty of our readers translates into real results for our advertisers and, as a franchisee, you benefit from the history of our success.

If you are sales and target driven, enjoy building relationships and would enjoy the satisfaction of producing a high quality magazine for your community, then a Families franchise could be a welcome addition to your family!
