Step Four

Your Business, Properly Planned

Watch the Next Video – Systems

There’s a well known saying, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”

But it’s hard to plan if you don’t know the ins and outs of the business you’re thinking about starting. What is the average cost of a enquiry? What should you budget for discounts, marketing and card fees? How much are you likely to make on each booking?

Fortunately, we know all of these things, and that’s exactly why we offer a business planning meeting before you join us as a franchisee.

Your Business Planning Meeting is a one-to-one session where we walk through exactly how your business could perform. Together, based on previous franchisee performance, and the type of business you’d like to run, we’ll map out how it can grow, from your first booking to long-term success.

We’ll talk about average conversion rates, from website visitor to enquiry, then enquiry to booking.

We’ll cover average booking values, typical commission levels, credit card fees and margins, all the things you need to make smart, informed decisions.

And it’s all done in a way that’s clear, honest and realistic. No inflated projections just the facts, based on real data from real businesses. Our membership with the British Franchise Association was upgraded when they could see our franchisees performance was out-performing the projections.

This isn’t about guesswork, it’s about building a business with real, solid foundations.

What We’ll Cover Together:

  • How many bookings you might expect based on traffic and conversion
  • Typical commission levels and what that means for you in real terms
  • Your fixed and variable costs, so you know your margins
  • Break-even point and how quickly you could hit it
  • Real data from other franchisees at different stages
  • What your business should look like after 12 months

“We had a brilliant business planning meeting with the Holiday Franchise Company and were warmly welcomed by Luke, who instantly made us feel like part of the HFC family. From the outset, Luke took the time to go into extensive detail about what it takes to successfully start our own travel agency. He guided us through each step of creating an effective business plan and was very helpful, patiently answering the many questions we had along the way. It was clear from the start that Luke genuinely cares about the success of his clients, and the level of support and service we received was outstanding. We are feeling confident and excited for the journey ahead thanks to his expert guidance.”

Investment in Your Business Planning Session

The Business Planning Meeting costs £500+vat, but don’t worry, this amount is deducted from your franchise fee if you decide to join us as a partner.

What Happens Next?

After this session, there are three possible outcomes:

1. You’re ready to move forward and partner with us. You’ll sign the franchise agreement and pay the remaining franchise fee to secure your place with us.

2. You decide to pull out. We won’t refund the £500+vat as we believe we’ve provided you with honest advice to help you make the right decision.We won’t refund the £500 as we believe we’ve provided you with honest advice to help you make the right decision.

3. We decide not to go into partnership. If, after the meeting, we feel the business isn’t quite right for us, we’ll refund the £500 in full.

No pressure, no hard sell, just honest conversations to make sure it’s the right fit for both of us.
