Our Franchise Owners Say it Best!

HFC Website Testimonial Logos (3)
“After 28 years of working for a large organization, I decided I needed to break away and build my own empire. The travel industry had always appealed so I decided to invest some of my retirement windfall in a franchised business. I approached a large company selling franchises but was dismayed by the pushy sales techniques. “Sign up this week and we will give you this, that and the other”. It was so cheesy I did question the idea of whether buying a travel franchise was really for me. I then decided to give The Holiday Franchise Company a go. What a difference. From the 1st call, it felt that I was entering into a partnership that would offer the support I need as a new startup. I wasn’t wrong. Genuinely nice, professional people who know the industry inside out have given me immense support from day 1.”
By Ian Davies , Owner of Clear Escapes
HFC Website Testimonial Logos (5)
“I have been nothing but impressed with The Holiday Franchise’s processes and support throughout. In the discussions before joining I had some family members who were sceptical about the offering and I voiced these concerns with Luke, who answered all of them honestly. It took 4 months from our initial call before joining at which I never felt rushed or pushed into it. Even after joining, I have not been hurried into launching. The Holiday Franchise Company understand people and want them to go at their own pace. I have loved the journey so far, the knowledge and support have been indispensable. It’s a nice feeling to not be on my own doing this, I feel I have a whole team of supporters at The Holiday Franchise Company cheering me on.”
By Philippa Ferguson, Owner of The Holiday Boutique
HFC Website Testimonial Logos (8)
“Having conducted considerable research into the travel franchise landscape I chose to work with The Holiday Franchise Company for several reasons. Firstly, I was incredibly impressed with their approach. Luke was consultative, informative, and transparent from the off. He took the time to answer my questions, was always happy to jump on a call and was honest about both the huge benefits of a franchise arrangement, as well as being clear about the not so glamourous side! The franchise model felt far more dynamic and aligned perfectly with how I envisaged my business developing and the flexibility of their training and support gave the impression of a more personal service rather than the “one size fits all, an approach that was evident elsewhere. I was keen to build a business that wasn’t just reliant on my network, so creating my own brand, having the option to build my own website and market my business successfully to a wider audience in any which way I chose, was vital for me.”

The British Franchise Association

The Holiday Franchise Company made the early decision to become accredited by The British Franchise Association because they share our transparent and ethical views.

The British Franchise Association was formed in 1977 by leading franchisors and established a code of conduct for franchisors as well as ensuring this code is strictly enforced. It has been vital to the growth of franchising which provides amazing opportunities to people looking to invest with franchise brands.

What would my business look like?

Most franchise models take a percentage of your commission, often on a 50/50 or 60/40 split. That might seem manageable at first, but over time, it can cost you tens of thousands of pounds. We take a flat 2% of the total booking value.
 
A Real Example
Say you book a £5,000 holiday with 14% commission — that’s £700.
  • With a 50/50 split, you’d keep £350
  • With a 60/40 split, you’d keep £420
  • With our 2% model, you keep £600 — we only take £100 (2% of £5,000)
 
That’s £250 more in your pocket from one booking
