Busylizzy founder

Do I need fitness or baby qualifications to run my own Busylizzy Management Franchise business?
Yes & No! Busylizzy is a management franchise. Your time is spent managing your team of instructors (who will be qualified in their field ie, yoga), organising the timetable of classes and your club social events and recruiting a loyal following of new parents to join your club. We provide you with all the training, business knowhow and marketing materials. If you hold a fitness or baby class qualification or if you would like to re train in this field, we provide the necessary qualifications and there is the opportunity to teach some of the classes, but it’s not essential.

Busylizzy is a fun yet serious business opportunity and it’s great to be part of our high energy team. We are looking for people passionate about fitness and wellbeing who are organised with a ‘can do’ attitude to launch and grow a Busylizzy pre & postnatal fitness club for parents in their local community.

Do I need experience?
Our network of club owners come from a wide variety of backgrounds including, HR and PR professionals, Accountants, Wine Merchant, Financial Services & Banking, Retail Buyers and Property Management. Full training is provided and there’s no expectation that you’ve run a business before. All franchise owners share a passion for fitness and wellbeing as well as a desire to support new and expectant parents on their journey into motherhood.

What support is available when setting my business up?
You will have so much support from us to set your business up and throughout the lifetime of your Franchise. At the beginning of your journey we will give you full training on everything you need like setting up and managing the classes, venue selection, CRM system, marketing, social media and sales. We have a dedicated Head Office team to assist you with the launch of your business – this includes building your website page, app and online class booking system and launching your local PR campaign.

Once up and running, help is always on hand from the Head Office team and there’s a Busylizzy online portal packed with operational knowhow, videos and user guides. Franchise owners regularly chat and support each other in our internal comms system so although you’re running your own business for yourself, you are never alone.

Can I set my own hours?
Yes! All Busylizzy franchise owners work flexible hours around their family. When I set up my club, I worked around my little ones in pre school so no after school clubs or nursery was required. You will need some ‘child’ free time for building business relationships, marketing your club, meeting your clients and managing your team but the organising and planning side of the business can take place anytime and from anywhere. There’s an opportunity to run a small part time club or to scale up with multi venues for more ambitious entrepreneurs.

What will my investment be?
Our business model is modular meaning your initial investment can be for as little as £5,000 if purchasing a part time, small territory or upto £100,000+ if buying an established mulit site club with customers already in place – this is known as a ‘resale business’. There are start up loans and grants available for qualifying candidates. All franchise owners are encouraged and supported to nurture and grow their business investment into a very profitable asset.

What will I get for my money?
You get everything you need to set up and start your business including a personalised website page, social media set up and marketing support. You will also receive a marketing pack of digital and print assets including centralised email campaigns, flyers, posters, photography and social graphics, banners and packs to promote your business. Every Busylizzy club plugs into our centrally managed Zoom classes so you can immediately start trading online. Plus your team uniform and class equipment.

Full initial training is provided and ongoing support from Head Office throughout the lifetime of your business.

How do I make money?
Busylizzy is a membership model. Your members pay a monthly fee to access the classes and events you organise. Nearly 90% of members renew month on month giving you the foresight to plan, grow and develop your membership base. Additional income is available through workshops and parenting events plus you choose how often and how many to run.

What is the growth potential of a Franchise opportunity?
As with any venture, the amount of success you will have is completely dependent on the amount of effort and hard work you put in but the beauty of a Busylizzy franchise is that you’re in complete control of your financial future. You’ll know exactly how much money you’ll have each month, because the majority of your customers are monthly contracted members. This provides huge financial security and builds your business into a very valuable asset.

How will I find customers?
Busylizzy provides you with the framework, knowhow and process to run your business. You will be responsible for the people and that includes attracting new members. Training is provided to enable you to market your business both online & social media and offline via local events and through building relationships with other businesses. Your local brand reputation is the key to growing your business successfully. Give local parents a good time at your club and referrals will help grow your business.
