There are four costs that you will need to cover in order to set up a Teddy Tennis Franchise or License

•  Franchise fees vary based on the size of your franchise territory or if you decide just to license one location.
• There is a onetime training fee. This amount varies based upon the number of Coaches being trained and any travel/accommodation expenses.
• Equipment: you will need at least one set of Teddy Tennis equipment which includes the training manual, music, racquets, balls, net and other Teddy Tennis branded items. This cost can vary based on the number of locations.
• Royalty Fees: the royalty fee is set at 10% of your gross revenue and is paid monthly, quarterly or at specified dates throughout the year in arrears.

We provide an extensive level of support to help your franchise as our success is based upon you being successful.

We provide 5 types of support:

• Music, pictures, story book and products.
• Training and coaches manual.
• Business Development: we require all franchisees to have monthly conference calls with Teddy Tennis to discuss the development and expansion of their business and offer mentoring and advice as and when it is needed.
• Marketing: good marketing is critical for the success of your franchise. Teddy Tennis provides franchisees with a wide range of marketing material that has been designed to be customized so as to meet your specific needs… and if we don’t have want you need, we will create new marketing artwork that will deliver what you require as part of the service.
• Coaching and Assessment: we are continually developing new activities, songs and lesson plans and to keep you abreast of what is new we provide franchisees wi th one on one Skype calls (and where possible face to face meetings) with the creator of the activi ti es and music, Head Ted Senior (alias Richard Bean). These calls and meetings happen as and when requested by our franchisees.

Training is very important, even to well qualified tennis coaches as the teaching system that is used in Teddy Tennis is quiet different from conventional tennis coaching.

There are two methods to be trained to become a Teddy Tennis Coach:

• Attend a Teddy Tennis Training Course: Teddy Tennis training courses are periodically held at designated centers in different geographic locations.
• Have Teddy Tennis Trainers Deliver training at Your Location: If you have several coaches to be trained, it may be more economical to arrange to have Teddy Tennis Trainers deliver Teddy Tennis training at your location.
