How does the Lite package monthly fee work?
The Lite package allows you to pay-as-you-grow with an upfront cost of £2,995* to start-up, then £299* a month.
To start a wholly independent, comparable travel agency (without any suppliers or holidays to sell), could require minimum capital & bonds in excess of £100,000.
Our Lite package delivers an instant travel business that’s ready to run from day one.
You don’t have to spend years developing a business model, back-office team and travel industry commercial relationships. Instead, you simply franchise our award-winning infrastructure, technology, commercial terms, brand recognition, and support.
Because we have hundreds of travel consultants, it allows us to bring that cost down to a manageable level for each individual.
You also do not have to pay the £299* monthly fee forever.
At any time in your first 3 years, you can upgrade to a larger franchise package and bring that down to our standard £99* a month management fee.
Your upgrade cost will be specific to you at the time of upgrading, but will be reduced by any net franchise fees already paid as part of the Lite package.
If you choose not to upgrade, the £299* a month fee continues.
This package is incredible value for money. We assume more risk by delivering a huge amount of set-up, support, infrastructure, and mentorship early in your business.
You get to spread the cost of that value over the life of your business, with the £299* monthly fee providing complete business infrastructure, administration, and growth mentorship on an ongoing basis.
The minimum term for the Lite package is 12 months.
