Progressive Sports works in partnership with schools and communities to encourage children and teenagers to become more physically active.
If you take one of the company’s amazing franchise opportunities, you’ll be able to offer fitness education services in a protected, geographically-defined territory.
Services for Schools & Individual Parents
Progressive Sports’ services are suitable for students between the ages of five and 19. These services can be provided to schools or private customers. They include teacher training, enrichment days, extracurricular clubs, soccer schools, holiday courses, birthday party activities and more.
All the company’s sessions are carried out by DBS-checked professionals with appropriate sports coach qualifications.
There Are Three Progressive Sports Franchise Packages
Petite. Standard. Premium. These are your options…
The Petite package is perfect for entrepreneurs with coaching experience. You’ll take a hands-on role and provide services personally in a small territory.
The Standard package, on the other hand, will give you a larger area to work within that contains more business opportunities. You’ll lead some sessions yourself and also employ staff members who will provide several services on your behalf.
The Premium package is the most comprehensive and expensive. You’ll have a purely managerial role. Your responsibilities will extend to organising your team and marketing your services. You won’t have to lead any sessions yourself.
Regardless of which sports coaching franchise package you decide upon, you’ll have the full support of Progressive Sports. Your agreement will last for five years and if you prove that you’re able to handle managing your business, you’ll be able to expand into another territory. You’ll also be required to purchase all of your equipment and materials from nominated suppliers.
Previous Business Management Experience Isn’t Essential
You don’t need a background in coaching or management to invest in this sports business franchise. This is because Progressive Sports will fully train you in all areas of the operation to ensure you’re competent and confident. However, if you plan to lead sessions yourself, you’ll need an NGB level 2 sports coaching qualification and you must pass a DBS check. On top of this, you’ll require strong communication and organisational skills.
What a Progressive Sports Franchise Costs
You should expect to pay at least £9,950. The total investment will depend on whether you choose the Petite, Standard or Premium package. You can find out exactly how much each of these options cost by contacting the brand. Additionally, you must pay a monthly management fee, which will cover the ongoing assistance you receive from the franchise support team.
What will the package you purchase include? A licence to use the company’s branding as well as an eCommerce website, pre-made session plans, marketing materials, equipment and that’s not all.
Most Progressive Sports franchisees achieve a gross profit margin between 30% and 40%. Plus, it’s possible that you’ll be able to generate up to £120,000 in revenue per annum from your third year onwards.
Need Financial Support?
Many major banks are able to offer capital to entrepreneurs who want to invest in sports franchises. What do you need to do? Just develop a business plan including a full breakdown of the franchise opportunity and present it. The money lender you speak to will evaluate your request, and approve it, subject to status.
Franchisees Are Trained at the Brand’s Head Office
Your Progressive Sports franchise training will be carried out over the course of five days. During this time, you’ll learn about marketing and sales, recruitment, customer care, daily business processes, the company’s services and so on. However, this won’t be your only training opportunity. Each year, you’ll have the chance to meet up with your fellow franchisees and gain more knowledge at the brand’s annual franchise events and business growth days.
Once your sports franchise is active, the company will send team members to visit you and evaluate the current state of your operation. These meetings will help you identify ways you can improve and become more productive. Further to this, if you’re ever in need of help, you can use Progressive Sports helpdesk to get your questions answered.
