📣TinyTalk Buckingham & Milton Keynes continues to seek a new owner!📣
🙌 Long post alert but…I am still on the hunt for someone to take on this fantastic franchise! Whether you've attended the classes in the past, or very recently joined us...if you're looking for a career change or job that offers perfect flexibility around school hours and holidays, and an opportunity to run your own business - this could be for you. It could even be shared between 2 people to help split the cost and management time.
🤔 If you thought about it before but wasn't sure - but you're now even tempted, please do get in touch!
🤔 If the timing isn't quite right at the moment, but will be later this year, please do get in touch!
I will be continuing classes until at least the end of this year, so we still have plenty of time to get someone new to take it on. I’m regularly told by families that these classes have been a lifeline, we must ensure they can continue after I leave🤞
👉 This is a business investment, therefore requires a minimum commitment of 5 years, as well as some sufficient funds to purchase it. However this TinyTalk franchise is very competitively priced compared to all other baby and toddler groups - especially as it's so well known with a fantastic reputation within the area.
👉 Payment can also be made in installments for up to a year, to help make it more affordable. This franchise currently covers 6 postcode areas in which you can deliver classes; MK4, MK5, MK11, MK16, MK18 & MK19. However a couple of postcodes can be swapped for an admin fee so it can be tailored to suit you. E.g if you live in Milton Keynes, you don't have to run classes in Buckingham - but can pick up another area in MK.
💪 These classes have absolutely thrived in the Buckingham and Milton Keynes area over nearly 5 years, growing strength to strength. There is now so much more awareness of the benefits of signing too, therefore demand continues to grow more so than for other baby groups. There is also so much opportunity for someone to make this their own - new classes could be opened up in areas such as Newport Pagnell or Shenley. Within 1-2 terms you could be delivering Toddler Classes, or the Newborns programme. You could also take on a Mini-Teacher, someone to run classes within your area as a colleague. There's also potential to deliver classes in local nurseries/preschools.
👉 All you need is a basic understanding of BSL signing, be confident, sociable, and enjoy singing. You do not need any official BSL qualifications or have a teaching background. As long as you have good common sense, are well organised and have a drive for managing a business.
This is a ready-made business so you'd be gaining;
🌟Well established business with an excellent reputation within the local area and a page with over 1.5k followers
🌟Potentially 2 full, ready-made baby classes
🌟Includes wonderful props and equipment accumulated over 7 years
🌟A business that very successfully survives pandemics!
🌟A flexible business that prioritises family time and allows you to choose exactly how often and when you want to work
🌟Venue contacts (option to keep existing ones) 🌟 Training fees to teach TinyTalk Baby Classes
🌟An extremely supportive Head Office team and network of TinyTalk Teachers
🌟My full support in ensuring a smooth sale and handover of classes
👉 The potential buyer would need to attend a NO OBLIGATION information day via zoom followed by a training day with Head Office in Guildford before being able to teach classes. You would start with running Baby classes for a least 1 term before then looking to do the Toddler or Newborn training programme if this is something you'd like to expand on.
The remaining information and training dates for this term are;
Information Days via Zoom;
Wednesday 25th May
Tuesday 14th June
Training day in Guildford - Saturday 16th July
As mentioned above, I plan to continue running the Thursday Babies classes until at least the end of this year (ie Christmas 2022). I may also run during next Spring Term if the extra time supports a potential takeover.
Please do share this post if you can, and get in touch if you’d like to know more! Email me on [email protected] or send a PM 😊
