The opportunity

Footicubs is a growing children's football and development brand with more than 40 venues across the UK & Ireland. Created by qualified primary school teachers, the programme combines football, movement, confidence, communication and age-appropriate learning through a structured model designed for young children and their families.

The franchise opportunity is deliberately flexible. Some franchisees may want to build a profitable business around an existing career or family commitments. Others may be looking for a genuine route into full-time business ownership. Footicubs provides pathways for both.

THE JOURNEY: START LOCAL > BUILD RECURRING REVENUE > ADD VENUES & PROGRAMMES > SCALE. 

The objective is to give franchisees a model they can learn locally and replicate as their ambitions, territory and team grow.

Why Footicubs stands out

• Created by qualified primary school teachers - combining football with development and age-appropriate learning.
• More than 40 venues already operating across the UK & Ireland.
• Recurring monthly memberships at the heart of the Early Years and Academy model.
• Multiple programmes and revenue streams available through the wider franchise pathways.
• Established systems for bookings, subscriptions, registers, lesson planning, communications and reporting.
• Flexible operating model: personally coach, employ a team, or blend both as you grow.
• Three franchise pathways from a single approved venue to the complete multi-programme Business Builder model.

More than a football class

Footicubs delivers structured football-based sessions through a recognisable, repeatable programme. Sessions combine football skills, movement, games and age-appropriate learning in a welcoming environment for children and parents.

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Physical development and movement
• Communication, confidence and participation
• Structured weekly delivery supported by lesson plans

One brand. Multiple ways to grow.

A Footicubs business can be more than weekend Early Years sessions. Depending on the franchise package selected, franchisees can combine recurring memberships with weekday opportunities, events and school-holiday revenue.

The complete model can include Early Years Football, Footicubs Academy, Tots, Birthday Parties, Holiday Clubs and Schools & Nurseries. This gives ambitious franchisees the ability to build a broader local children's activity business under one brand.

Built to fit different starting points

There is no single type of Footicubs franchisee. Teachers, sports coaches, parents, entrepreneurs, students and people in full-time employment can all bring relevant strengths to the model. The key requirements are drive, consistency, willingness to follow the system and the ambition to build a strong local business.

TWO COMMON AMBITIONS: SIDE BUSINESS OR FULL-TIME BUSINESS - THE MODEL CAN START FROM EITHER GOAL.

Begin around existing commitments and grow progressively, or make Footicubs a major focus from day one.

The infrastructure behind the business

You're in business for yourself - not by yourself. The value is not simply the Footicubs name; it is the operating infrastructure sitting behind the brand.

Support to help you build

HQ provides processes, guidance and structure while the franchisee remains responsible for building their local business.

Support covers venue guidance, marketing, recruitment and DBS processes, training and delivery, operations, and ongoing HQ guidance. Business Builder also includes structured planning for the wider programme rollout.

Choose what you want to build

The three franchise pathways are designed around ambition rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Every package includes core Footicubs training, systems, technology and ongoing HQ support; the difference is how much of the opportunity you want access to from day one.

Single Venue - £5,995

A focused entry point for someone who wants to own and operate one approved Early Years location around existing commitments. The package includes initial equipment and stock, 40 children's kits, footballs, water bottles and sticker charts, four goals, cones, two coach kits, 1,000 launch flyers, branded social assets, training, systems, portals, lesson plans and ongoing support.

Territory - £9,995

For franchisees who want to build multiple Early Years venues across an exclusive agreed area and add Footicubs Birthday Parties as an additional revenue stream. Territory size and boundaries are agreed individually before completion.

Business Builder - £14,995

The complete Footicubs model for those who want the widest range of programmes, equipment and revenue opportunities from day one, supported by a structured 12-month business growth plan and monthly business reviews.

Business Builder: the complete programme range

For prospects specifically targeting a full-time business, Business Builder is the clearest expression of what Footicubs can become. It combines multi-venue Early Years with access to the wider programme portfolio.

FULL-TIME BUSINESS POTENTIAL: BUILD A FULLER FOOTICUBS WEEK - NOT JUST A WEEKEND CLASS. 

Recurring memberships can sit alongside parties, school and nursery opportunities, Academy sessions and seasonal holiday clubs.

How you operate

The model can flex around how hands-on you want to be. Owner-delivered sessions can reduce paid coaching cost while you establish the business; a coach-led model can create more time for management, marketing and expansion.

What can the numbers look like?

The figures below are illustrations from the Footicubs franchise calculator, not guaranteed earnings or forecasts. Actual results depend on occupancy, pricing, venue costs, staffing, local demand, marketing, payment fees and execution.

**Illustrative operating profit before tax, owner remuneration and unmodelled costs. Owner-delivered assumes the franchisee personally coaches.

From one venue to a multi-venue business

For prospects who want Footicubs to become their primary business, the commercial story is not simply the economics of one venue. The model is designed to be replicated as additional locations are opened.

Full-time potential: what could the complete model look like?

The Business Builder worked illustration shows how multiple Footicubs revenue streams can be combined in a blended owner-operator model. This is the most relevant illustration for someone considering Footicubs as a route towards a full-time business.

ILLUSTRATIVE FULL-TIME BUSINESS MODEL~£4,400 MONTHLY OPERATING PROFIT | ~£52,800 ANNUALISED

*The example combines 4 Early Years locations, 2 Academy session blocks, 2 birthday parties per month and breakfast/school-club activity. Holiday-club profit is additional and modelled separately.

*Worked illustration only - not a forecast or earnings promise. Based on current calculator assumptions, target memberships and a blended owner/coach delivery model. Before tax, owner remuneration and unmodelled costs.

What full-time growth can mean in practice

• Build recurring membership income across multiple Early Years venues.
• Add Academy session blocks as another recurring programme.
• Use paid coaches for selected sessions to release owner time for growth.
• Add Birthday Parties as event-based revenue.
• Develop weekday school, nursery or breakfast-club opportunities.
• Use Holiday Clubs for additional seasonal activity.
• Move progressively from personally delivering everything to managing a broader local Footicubs operation.

The figures do not mean every franchisee will reach the worked example, but they demonstrate the structure and scale the Business Builder model is designed to make possible.

More than weekly memberships

The wider model gives Business Builder franchisees several ways to deepen the business beyond weekly classes, while Territory includes Early Years and Birthday Parties.

A practical first-year growth journey

Every franchisee's pace will differ, but the Business Builder package includes a structured 12-month growth plan and monthly business review. The intended journey can be understood in four stages:

1. LAUNCH

Complete training, establish initial venue activity, prepare systems and begin local marketing.

2. ESTABLISH

Build memberships, deliver consistently and strengthen the customer journey and local reputation.

3. GROW

Add sessions, recruit coaches where required and introduce additional venues or programmes in line with the package.

4. SCALE

Use established systems, people and local demand to replicate the model across the agreed area.

Could this be you?

You do not need the perfect background - but you do need drive, consistency and the willingness to follow the model.

Footicubs can appeal to someone looking for additional income alongside an existing career, but our wider franchise pathways are also designed for people who want to build something substantial enough to become their primary business.

Different starting points. One decision.

• A former Footicubs coach who went on to own multiple Footicubs areas.
• A mother with a newborn who now has multiple Footicubs venues running.
• A martial arts instructor who wanted an additional income stream alongside an existing career.
• A university student who chose Footicubs as a route to additional income through sports coaching.

The common thread is not background or age. It is taking action, following the model and building the opportunity around individual ambitions and circumstances.

Why Footicubs now?

With more than 40 venues across the UK & Ireland, Footicubs is selecting franchise partners for its next stage of growth. The opportunity combines an established children's football brand, recurring memberships, structured delivery, operating technology, marketing resources and several pathways for expansion.

FOR THE PERSON READING THIS, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN 'START SMALL' AND 'THINK BIG'. You can begin around your current commitments while building towards a larger operation - or choose Business Builder and pursue a wider rollout from day one.

Franchise availability, territories and package terms are subject to suitability, agreement and final contract.
