Case study

Cecilia and John Holden had always dreamed of owning their own IT business together. The husband and wife team, who have more than 45 years’ IT experience between them, made their dream come true when they started their Activ Net Marketing franchise in 2008.

For Cecilia, joining Activ Net Marketing was an easy decision to make. Before starting the franchise, Cecilia worked for an international investment bank in the City which included having to commute for over three hours every day. As well as this, Cecilia had to travel to New York every couple of weeks which was challenging to sustain.

Equally, becoming a franchisee has benefited John too. John had been running his own golf ball business but decided that he wanted to find another way to make his money. Being able to run their own franchise has enabled Cecilia and John to enjoy more freedom and flexibility while earning a substantial income. They now have a much better work/life balance and are enjoying working together.

Cecilia and John love the fact that they’re both doing a job that they’re passionate about and that they get to help such a diverse range of businesses.

Financial information

Activ Net Marketing is an attractive proposition as it offers several different revenue streams. These include web design, mobile optimised web design, SEO, Social Media management and email marketing. Each of your clients pays an upfront fee and then an annual website renewal fee to cover things such as hosting, domain names, email and any necessary updates.

The sales model is straightforward too. Clients pay a setup cost for each website, and therefore your profitability depends on the number of website sales you can generate and how many additional Activ products you can sell. Because of the different revenue streams available you decide how much you earn. You can make between £1,000 and £5,000 per month depending on what time you have available, your motivation and your ability.

The cost of joining Activ Net Marketing is just £9,995 which makes it one of the best franchises to buy for those on a budget. As well as the initial franchise fee, there is a monthly support fee which is payable after the first three months. The fee is waivered at the beginning of your franchising journey to help you get up and running. This fee covers all your ongoing training, technical support and contributes towards the development of Activ Net Marketing’s software.
