For more than 10 years we have given talented, ambitious people across the UK the opportunity to own and manage a successful business whilst following a tried and tested system.

Razzamataz was created with a simple dream, to make performing arts available to all young people no matter their background or circumstances.

We give children everywhere the chance to attend classes taught by experienced performers, who can give them the perfect introduction to the most wonderful industry in the world! To do this, we have ensured classes are affordable, our curriculum is fun and funky, and attending our classes is made as easy as possible. Over the years we have created a business system that helps keep costs down and class numbers up, bringing our classes to towns and villages as well as the larger cities.

We believe that with our training and support, suitable Master Franchisees and Area / Country Developers can replicate the incredible success we have enjoyed in the UK – who knows, maybe even more?

I hope this prospectus gives you a good taste of who we are and what we are all about, but most importantly, I hope it demonstrates what a fantastic business model we have just waiting to be taken to brand new audiences all over the world!

Very best regards,

Denise

The business with the freedom to be you, full time!

“I’ve always worked, but when we had the children it was a conscious decision that I always wanted to be in the playground in the morning and afternoon. Being a Razzamataz Principal is really flexible so I can do just that as well as working part-time as a bookkeeper.” Claire, Razzamataz Franchisee

Master FranchiseesMaster Franchising involves the granting of rights by the Franchisor (Razzamataz) to the Master Franchisee (you) to operate the brand within a specified country or region and the authorisation for the Master Franchisee to then franchise to others within that territory. With the back up and support of the Franchisor’s head office team and proven systems, you will be required to develop the brand in your country or region, using knowledge, contacts and business experience to successfully expand the brand through franchising to others in accordance with a pre-agreed development schedule.

Area or Country DevelopersArea and Country Developer Licensing gives the right to develop a country or region to an individual, company or consortium, allowing it to develop its own managed franchise outlets in line with a pre-agreed development schedule. This route to market is ideally suited to those who wish to establish a small network of their own outlets throughout a smaller designated area.

"In the last few years, franchises that cater to kids have become a rapidly growing sector of the industry. Unaffected by the

economic downturn, the market has been served by schools continuing to reduce facilities for pupils and an ever increasing

demand for extra-curricular improvement and childcare." FranchiseSales.com

Responsibilities of International Franchise Partners

As a Master Franchisee, you must firstly operate your own pilot franchise within your country or region and, upon successful operation of this pilot, you have the ability to operate, sell to others and develop multiple franchises within the dedicated country or region.

You will be required to have sufficient working capital to fund the initial Master Franchise fee, the set up of your own pilot operation, as well as the on-going resource required to develop a head office, training and support operation to support your network of franchises within their specified territory.

Area or Country Developers will be expected to work to a development schedule to be agreed in advance.

As one of the leading part time theatre schools in the UK, Razzamataz has fantastic relationships with some of the UK’s best-known theatres, performers and talent agencies, along with some of the biggest holiday operators in Europe. It will be the responsibility of the Master Franchisee or Area or Country Developer to at all times, maintain the brands standards and reputation for integrity in order to replicate the same degree of support in each assigned territory.
