Below we have highlighted the main benefits of being a District Sports franchisee which should help you answer the above question.

(1) Proven business formula

As a District Sports franchisee you will have the opportunity to build a successful business and earn a high income, working for yourself, but with the training, support and experience of an established business behind you. The group has a proven business formula which will form the basis on which every franchise operates.

The earning potential for a District Sports franchisee can be seen in the earning potential section of this website. You have the opportunity to expand and grow your business by outsourcing some or all of your coaching sessions to outside coaches.

The other great benefit to owning a successful business is that you could have a valuable asset that you can sell in the future.

(2) Exclusive territory

Each franchisee is given an exclusive territory to work within. This means that only you can operate and market within your chosen area.

The size of your area means that you have the opportunity to build a sizeable business over the coming years without being restricted by a small territory which would limit your potential.

(3) Credibility and use of company brand

As part of the franchise agreement you get to use the “District Sports” processes, systems, name, logo, website, history and stationery. This gives you credibility and confidence to go out into the market place and get off to a good start. It also enhances your position in the mind of potential clients that they are dealing with an established and reputable company.

(4) Training and ongoing support

Ongoing comprehensive training and support will be given to franchisees which combine on the job and office based training.

Support and assistance is continually available to franchisees as part of the franchise offering. See the training section of this prospectus for more details.

Experts from District Sports are in place to support franchisees on a day to day basis. There is also a highly skilled and experienced management team in place to offer support and guidance in the running of the business.

(5) Assistance with raising finance

Finance packages are available for prospective franchisees if required. A business plan template has been developed which is then amended to suit your particular circumstances. This can then be shown to any High Street Bank or Lender either by yourself or with our assistance. This approach helps secure the lowest finance rates available.

(6) Additional products and services to sell

We will also train you in selling additional products and services which will further boost your turnover and profitability.

(7) Proven lead generation

District Sports has a proven business formula for generating leads and business.

The key area which covers this is contained within your training and operations manual and includes target markets, sales activity, lead generation tools and lead conversion.

The District Sports website is focused on the customer's need and is a source of information as well as directing them towards enquiries and bookings.
