Are there ongoing fees I should be aware of?

July 08, 2024•1 min read

Yes, our franchisees pay a minimal monthly royalty fee of £100, to receive continuous operational support, and ongoing training which is highlighted on other pages.

As with any business you will incur costs.

Here is a breakdown of the costs I incur each month. Although not all of these will be relevant to you, they will give you some guidance and something to consider as you make the decision as to whether you want to proceed with purchasing a franchise:

Bank charges for a business account after the first year £19

Training £300

Petrol £215

Data protection £35/year

Cleaning £5

Resources and stationary £65

Meetings and refreshments £30

Marketing £150

IT £250 (including website hosting)

TAX £300

Payroll and invoice software £65

Wages and freelance £3,500 (including my wage)

Insurance £52

Phone £19

Linktree £4

Amazon Prime £120

Charity £10

Like I say most of these won’t be relevant to you initially however as your business grows and you start to expand, you may find that these are things that you want to consider. Although these expenses sound high we have an income on average of £5,000/month

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.

Morning,

I hope the week is going well.

So many people seem to be doing D of E and work experience
at the moment, good luck if that’s you and if you’re at Marlow Camp next
fingers crossed for good weather!

I’ve just finished a lesson on division. It seems to be
something that messes with the brains of so many people.

I found it got easier when I stopped thinking about it as
division and instead thought about it as multiplication. So, if for example I
had the question 396 divided by 3, I would look at it as 3x what = 3. My answer
would be 1. How many times would I need to multiply 3 to get to 9, (my answer
would be 3). Then 3x something = 6. My answer would be 2. Giving me the overall
answer of 132.

I know that’s a really simple example but hopefully it explains
my point.

Thankfully in schools they don’t often seem to need to do
long division, but I’ve worked with a couple of adults (generally nurses for
some reason) who have needed it.

I think I’ll explain this one in a video, as it will be too
complicated to explain it with words as bits get put all over the place. I hope
this makes sense though:

Enjoy the rest of the week and speak soon,
