Profile Information

Who are we?

 We’re a 20-year established family of franchisees with a simple aim: to give you the tools, access and world-class industry backing you need to become a successful home-based travel business.

Have you dreamed of escaping the 9-5, delaying retirement or forging a new career? Well, you’ve clicked on the right page! We believe being your own boss means just that - true independence, working from anywhere in the UK or abroad, and arranging beautiful travel experiences for your clients, all while enjoying a true work-life balance as the head of the business.

Plus, we’re the only franchise that offers the opportunity to get your investment absolutely free with our unique Money Back Challenge. Hit your targets, and we’ll hand you a cheque or a transfer to the value of your initial franchise costs. Why? Because we’re dedicated to removing any barrier we can between you and financial freedom.

We’re thrilled to have been named Homeworking Agency of the Year six times and Best Travel Franchise in the UK by Elite Business Awards. We’re also members of the IFA (International Franchise Association) and the QFA (Quality Franchise Association) – accreditations and awards to put you and your customers at ease.

You'll benefit from: 

  • ABTA and ATOL protected holidays to choose from
  • Custom-made travel agency software and IT support
  • Around £3 million in daily travel-buying power
  • Favourable commercial terms with 450+ travel suppliers
  • Almost unlimited travel options for your customers
  • The best commission structure in the business - up to 85%
  • Your own website with destination-specific landing pages
  • Training, mentorship and daily support from your Partnership Manager
  • Social media, marketing and head-office support
  • Access to unique programmes, overseas training and millionaire’s retreats
  • The chance to get your franchise for free with our unique Money-Back Challenge
  • Part-time or full-time hours to build your business the way you want
  • A brand ambassador in Daley Thompson CBE, the face of our business and yours!

As part of our franchisee family, you’ll get everything you need to start your travel business the moment you finish our week-long introduction – in fact, many of our franchisees sign their first customers before they even finish the course.
