Business Summary
Imagine a business where you call the shots – sometimes literally.
Where your main aim is to ensure other people have a great time, but you have as much fun as they do.
Where you mix with murderers, liars and thieves and experience the darker side of life – and where a happy ending is guaranteed.
Sound interesting? It’s Murder…..
Established in 1999, our client is the UK’s leading murder mystery company. You will organise private parties, corporate events, hotel & restaurant nights, special celebrations – anything where people fancy a bit of skulduggery and excitement.
Our client operates throughout the UK, Channel Islands and Europe, holding murder mysteries for groups from ten to 100 with an extensive range of themes and scripts. They pride themselves on the standard of entertainment and professionalism of their actors – they are just one of the reasons why people say we’re “dead goodâ€!
Their business model has proved so popular that they are expanding it through a network of enthusiastic, motivated franchisees who want to enjoy the benefits of being self-employed while helping others have a great time.
A sense of humour and an interest in theatre will give you a great advantage – in fact, if you’ve ever wished you could unleash your hidden dramatic side, this is the perfect opportunity!
It’s important to note that, while your working day might not be long, it’s likely to be based heavily around unsocial hours such as evenings and weekends.
You will be offered an exclusive geographical territory – so you’ll never have competition from anyone else involved with our franchise.
You’ll receive comprehensive training through a range of workshops, a franchise manual containing all the information you’ll need and ongoing advice.
You’ll also receive support packs that include all the necessary props, tools and make-up needed to run your franchise.
As far as the work goes – yes, you’ll need to put in time and effort, but we bet you’ll never have this much fun in a nine-to-five!
You’ll be self-employed, able to set your own hours and work from home – and it goes without saying that the more you put in, the more you’re likely to get out.
There are no age restrictions and you’ll have an experienced, established support network to fall back on – the advantage of a franchise is that you can learn from mistakes others have already made!
Your overheads are fixed and you don’t need to worry about employing people or excessive overheads.
In the UK alone, franchises account for £11.4bn of sales per year. Figures also estimate that, while nine out of ten start-up businesses will fail in the first three years of trading, nine out of ten franchises remain viable – valuable peace of mind in a tough economy.
