Home/ FRANCHISE
YOU CAN DO IT!! Our 4 most recent franchisees are teachers. Four teachers from different parts of the country but who all share the same passion and love working with kids. They now are building their own Children's Activities business allowing them to set their own goals and ambitions while having a hugely positive impact on their community.
As a Franchisor we have found teachers to be perfect franchisees; having a huge amount transferable skills which are very valuable to running the business whilst receiving step by step guidance and support from The Outdoors Project HQ where needed.
Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds. A background in childcare is not essential. We have sales professionals, as well as teachers and Outdoors instructors.
OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE has a wide variety of knowledge and skills but share the following qualities:
The business can run in Cities, towns or in the countryside. Low cost, low overheads, quick start up.
The franchise offers the opportunity to have a flexible lifestyle creating a positive environment in your local community whilst having a lot of FUN.
"I was blown away by everything they were doing; the website and marketing was effective, professional and really perfectly matched to the company."

Read our fantastic franchisee, Lucy's story from Lincoln. Case Study courtesy of the Children Franchise Association.
Before opening The Outdoors Project Lincoln, I was a primary school teacher for nearly a decade. I loved teaching and the six hours a day I spent with my classes.
I was always an outdoorsy person: enjoying hiking, camping and other outdoor pursuits; all of which I had lost touch with. I realised my ideal job would be one where I could still work with children, increase my time outdoors and gain more control of my work/life balance.
One of the main benefits of joining a franchise family is that you are not alone!
As a well-established children’s outdoor activity provider, we have eliminated many of the ‘unknowns’ and as a franchisee you will run your own business but also be supported every step of the way by an experienced and dedicated team.

"Approximately half to two-thirds of new businesses fail within the first three years of trading but, because franchisees have the benefit of a tried-and-tested business model and access to a support network, failure rates remain extremely low, with only 1% per year closing due to commercial failure".
