Once the initial training is complete, franchisees receive all the tools and resources needed to establish a successful academy – including the brand’s own quoting software, a bespoke launch marketing package, and a Kixx coaching launch pack. Kixx also provides social media support, to help maximise promotions and marketing efforts.

There is also ongoing training available with regular business development seminars and training programmes held around the country to help with improving business skills, and continued support from the company’s main head office support and administrative team.

What kind of support is available for Kixx franchisees?

In addition to the initial training programme, all franchisees will also receive detailed and personalised business support, to help them succeed. The franchise founding team provides one-to-one support for every franchisee, helping them to create a personal business plan, tailored to their territory and area demographics.

Kixx also uses a state-of-the-art software system through its central head office, designed to streamline and simplify sales, marketing and general business administration, so that you can spend your time and energy on coaching. All bookings, payments, memberships and orders are processed through the company’s administrative team, freeing up franchisees to grow their business.

You also receive help from your own franchise consultant, who will provide guidance on coaching services as well as how to improve sales and profitability.

Franchisees are also automatically part of the Kixx franchisee network, where franchisees can exchange ideas and provide support from each other. This lets you get valuable insight from other franchisees who may be more established, and can help develop your business with their mentoring support.

Is the Kixx franchise a good business opportunity?

The Kixx academies are a growing and trusted brand amongst parents, child educators and children themselves, with a strongly positive reputation for delivering a fun and engaging approach to healthy and active lifestyles.

Franchisees have found the business to be a highly rewarding way of working within the sports industry, while making a positive difference to their communities. The extensive training and support provided through all aspects of running a franchise also makes it an easy way of running your own business, as the vast majority of administrative tasks such as handing bookings and payments is managed by the head office, allowing franchisees to focus on providing high quality coaching.

As a franchisee, you can also expand services offered beyond coaching classes, into private events such as birthday parties and other celebrations, and working in partnership with other organisations, broadening the opportunities available to grow the business.
