Raring2go! is looking for new franchisees and is offering a big helping hand to those looking to get involved.
More than 4.8 million people across the UK are now self-employed and many of these individuals have chosen to enter the world of franchising. Raring2go! is one of the most exciting franchise opportunities in the country and it’s seeking franchisees to take the business to even more people across the UK.
The magazine franchise reaches more than 700,000 families across the UK with its widely read publication, which is circulated in primary schools. Each franchisee writes, produces and edits their own quarterly magazines, which features paid-for advertising and advertorials alongside interesting local content for families in each region. They’ll also get to manage a local Raring2go! website which offers another stream of revenue through online advertising.
Revenue is generated by selling advertising space to local businesses that are looking to appeal to the family audience and produces healthy returns for each franchisee. The surprisingly affordable franchisee fee of just £15,995 + VAT includes everything each person will need to start up their business, from image rights to printing to full training.
However, Raring2go! knows that it can be difficult to find the funds to go it alone and start a business, so it’s offering an incredible £10,000 investment in each new franchisee’s magazine. This means that for the first year of business, all licence fees will be waived and the first four issues will have their print and distribution costs covered. Franchisees will be able to concentrate on building awareness of their business and local connections instead of worrying about invoices and other distractions.
The force behind Raring2go!, Freddie St George, explained why the franchise has decided to offer the heavy discount to new franchisees.
“We genuinely believe our business is brilliant and we want our franchisees to fly from the very outset. We believe this ‘helping hand’ will make a huge difference to new franchisees and take the focus away from worrying about finances and shift it firmly towards making sure they hit the ground running from day one and start generating revenue / income”.
