​

FRANCHISEE REQUIREMENTS​

​

We are looking for individuals with the qualities that match our existing business model and our current target market. Entrepreneurship is important, but a strong personality is vital. You will be running events for a whole variety of individuals from all kinds of backgrounds, in an industry where the fun and laughter is more important than the structure of the games themselves. At Savage Soccer, we aim to deliver a memorable event each time, with no exceptions. A successful franchisee and their team of staff will ultimately be responsible for ensuring that we stay true to these values. You must possess a genuine interest in bubble soccer and a passion for providing enjoyable recreational experiences to customers. Once you have this, there are a few more things to consider:

 

Financial Stability:

- You must have adequate financial resources to cover the initial franchise fee, equipment costs, and startup expenses.

​

- The ability to secure additional financing if necessary to fund the business's operations. Although once you have your initial stock of inflatables, all the necessary equipment and your money aside for any marketing expenses, a Savage Soccer franchise will have very few running costs.

 

Business Experience:

- Previous experience in sports and recreation management, event planning, or related fields can be beneficial… but not essential. Going back to our first point, your personality will be key to success within the Savage Soccer Franchise Model.

​

- Experience in managing a business, including financial management and personnel supervision, is also considered beneficial… but not essential. With our training and management experience, having overseen 16 start-ups across various industries in both the UK and Ireland, we have the resources to help your business thrive.

 

Commitment:

- Willingness to commit to Savage Soccer for the long term and actively participate in the day-to-day operations of the business. Whilst the franchise is setup so that it can be run on a part-time basis… you may still find yourself answering booking requests at all times of the day and responding to social media messages etc.

 

Leadership and Management Skills:

- You will need strong leadership qualities and the ability to manage and motivate staff. Even if you plan to run the business on your own or with family, then you will still need to be able to effectively communicate instructions to potentially quite a large group of people to ensure that they abide by the rules and more importantly they understand what is expected of them, so that they can enjoy the experience to its fullest potential.

 

- Effective organizational and time management skills. You may find yourself in situations where you have multiple bookings in one day, often back-to-back, meaning that you will have to arrive some time before the first event to setup and ensure that each group are in and out in their allocated time slots to avoid delaying and upsetting the following groups.

 

Customer Service Orientation:

- A commitment to delivering excellent customer service and ensuring a positive experience for all customers. The Savage Soccer franchise is very much a feedback driven business. The happier your customers, the more 5-star reviews that you will get, leading to more enquiries and a higher listing on search engines such as Google. Word of mouth is a huge marketing tool within our franchise model.

 

Compliance with Franchise Standards:

- Willingness to adhere to the franchisor's operating standards, procedures, and branding guidelines.

 

Local Market Knowledge:

- Familiarity with the local market and an understanding of the potential customer base would prove beneficial. Knowing your customer and knowing your business will be two major keys to success within our system.

​

- Knowledge of local regulations and permits required for operating recreational facilities.

 

Marketing and Sales Skills:

- An ability to market and promote the franchise within the local community. Although we do offer substantial support and training on this. As well as templates and other marketing materials for you to use.

​

- Sales and marketing skills to attract individual customers, including party organisers, event co-ordinators, local sports teams and corporate clients.

 

Training and Education:

- Willingness to complete our training program, which typically covers sales, operations, use of equipment, safety procedures, and customer service.

 

Legal and Regulatory Compliance:

- Willingness to adhere to all legal and regulatory requirements related to operating a recreational business, including liability insurance and safety standards. This includes the Savage Soccer insurance waiver that must be signed by each participant of the games before they take any active part.

 

Franchise Fees and Ongoing Costs:

- You must be able to pay the ongoing franchise fees, plus any expenses that you plan for social media and other marketing, as well as the maintenance costs associated with running the equipment.

 

Location and Facilities:

- Access to suitable facilities or the ability to secure a location that meets the franchisor's specifications for hosting bubble football events.

 

Pass Background Checks:

- If you plan to serve birthday parties or events where minors or children are present, then you may be required to undergo background checks such as the Garda Vetting and provide references as part of the franchise application process.

 

Running a Savage Soccer Franchise is an extremely fair exchange. Meaning that you are directly rewarded based on the time and effort that you put in. The consistency of your availability and your reliability when called upon will be the key to your success in your chosen market. Therefore, if you have the capacity to take the franchise on a full-time basis, we highly recommend it. Or at the least, employ someone who can. If not, this is a business that can very much still be run on evenings and weekends due to the nature of the target market being events, birthdays, stag/hen parties etc. These tend to be held on evenings and weekends.

6. Can I operate a Savage Soccer franchise part-time?

​

It's possible to operate a Savage Soccer franchise part-time, but the level of commitment required may vary depending on the location of your license purchased and where it stands in our business model. We would not recommend a part-time operation for a large City for example… where the demand would be extremely high. Full-time commitment may be necessary for these larger-scale operations and locations.

​

7. Where can I host Savage Soccer events?

​

Savage Soccer can be played on various surfaces, making it great for grass fields, 4G pitches, GAA Clubs, indoor courts, or even within your own specialized bubble soccer facilities. The choice of location may depend on your target market and the availability of suitable venues in your area. We can help you to carry out research on such locations if necessary, although we recommend communicating with the facilities directly to begin building relationships within your new business.

8. How do I market my Savage Soccer franchise?

​

Not only will provide marketing support and materials to help you promote your business, but additionally, you will use digital marketing such as social media, local advertising, and partnerships with local organizations to attract your customers. We recommend affiliating and partnering with local GAA clubs and Soccer clubs to encourage early block booking and high value, repeat business from the beginning.

​

9. Is bubble soccer safe?

​

Bubble soccer is generally considered safe when played under the proper supervision and with the right equipment. Players wear protective inflatable bubbles that absorb impact, reducing the risk of injury. Of course, it's essential to follow safety guidelines and provide adequate supervision during games. Suitable Public Liability Insurance is also a must.

​

Yes, we encourage the customisation of events to allow our franchisees to cater for a whole variety of occasions such as birthday parties, hen/stag parties, corporate team-building events, GAA and Soccer Club team-building and fundraisers to name just a few. This flexibility can help attract a diverse range of customers and help your business to grow exponentially.
