Why become a Billy’s Buddies Franchisee?

Starting an exciting children’s franchise with Billy’s Buddies is a once in a lifetime opportunity. 

This Franchise System is underpinned by strong systems and processes and ultimately managed by an experienced, knowledgeable and talented Head Office unit.

There are many great reasons for becoming a Billy’s Buddies Franchisee. Below are just some of the benefits of joining our Franchise Group.

1) Be part of a trusted and reputable brand

Billy’s Buddies has a growing footprint in South East Queensland (SEQ). In just over 2 years we have become the largest provider in SEQ of ‘rugby/rugby-league based’ Programs for children (aged 2-6). We are currently operating Programs for more than 1500 children each week.

Our growth has also attracted significant media attention and brand awareness. 

2) Start-up training and support

All Franchisees receive 3 days of upfront training and ongoing support. We truly have created a turn-key system which you will be able to utilise with confidence once training has been completed.

Our training focuses on program management and administration; coaching (both practical and theoretical); marketing; and, how to operate the Billy’s Buddies Sports Management software.

3) Great business model

  1. Low overheads;
  2. Most operating costs are directly related to the number of registered children – i.e. most costs are variable in nature;
  3. The net cash returns are almost directly related to the number of children registered; and
  4. Results are directly related to effort!

4) Buying Power

Billy’s Buddies has access to cheaper pricing for supplies (apparel, gear, materials etc) as a result of buying these goods in bulk. These savings are passed onto all of our Franchisees.
