to explore franchise opportunities in the property sector and met Ethical Property Partners; a property investment company founded by Frank Flegg. Royce comments: “I was impressed that Frank was not only presenting a seminar, but also available at the company’s stand for face-to-face discussions.

The network of other Ethical Property Partner members offers a hub of mentoring, support and accountability which you just don’t have access to if you go it alone. “The model has not only helped

This was complemented by access to Boogie Beat’s bespoke online hub where franchisees can access training videos and the music used in sessions. Katy has been able to manage the launch of her business on her own terms, choosing to run just a couple of pop-up classes in the busy school summer holidays before rolling out regular classes in her local area. “A franchise with Boogie Beat has provided just what I need.
