Two franchisees win their businesses for free in June – thanks to The Travel Franchise’s unique offer

98 per cent of people that join The Travel Franchise have no travel experience, yet the franchise is winning awards for helping people switch careers and find a lifestyle they love. Both Amy and Lori-Ann have each successfully hit their commission targets within their first 12 months and will now receive a full refund of their £14,995 ‘Elite’ franchise fee — meaning they’ve effectively launched their businesses for free.

What makes the offer even more compelling?

Every ‘Elite’ franchisee also receives two free mentorship retreats abroad. That means this month’s winners haven’t just earned their businesses back — they’ve also enjoyed luxury overseas retreats with expert training, networking, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences at no extra cost.

How a cruise sparked a career switch: Amy’s story Just over a year ago, Amy was relaxing on a cruise holiday when she began to reflect on her career in financial services and questioned what kind of legacy she was building. That spark of reflection ignited a life-changing decision: she joined The Travel Franchise’s Elite package to pursue her long-held dream of owning a flexible travel business.

With zero prior industry experience, Amy leaned into her passion and followed the franchise's proven business model. Through relationship-building and creative marketing — including a savvy partnership with a 20,000-strong Facebook travel group — she quickly gained traction. A £50,000 Maldives booking and several luxury trips later, Amy hit the challenge target. Her turning point came at the Millionaire’s Retreat in Turkey — one of the Elite package’s exclusive mentorship experiences.

Being surrounded by other successful consultants and learning from the best changed everything... I came back a different person, said Amy.

Today, she runs a thriving home-based consultancy in rural Kent, has reduced her previous work hours, and continues to build her business around travel she loves — with personal trips to Abu Dhabi and the Caribbean coming up.

Lori-Ann’s leap from corporate sales to freedom & flexibility Also celebrating a £14,995 refund this month is Lori-Ann — a mum of two who left behind a 13-year corporate career to build a travel business on her terms. With no previous travel experience but plenty of drive, Lori-Ann juggled childcare, a full-time job, and building her new venture — often squeezing in bookings after bedtime and on weekends.

Beating the Challenge took some doing… but I did it, she said. Now I can go full-time with confidence.

Like Amy, Lori-Ann credits the Millionaire’s Retreat in Turkey as a turning point — boosting her motivation and helping her reach her goal just in time. She now looks forward to her second free retreat, the Elite Experience in Mauritius, and continues to grow her portfolio with tailor-made luxury escapes including bespoke safaris.

What surprised her most was the franchise’s strong social and support network: “I thought I’d be doing it alone, but I’ve made friends for life. The community around this franchise is truly amazing.” A Business model built for first-time travel entrepreneurs The Travel Franchise’s Money Back Challenge is exclusive to its Elite package.

It’s simple: hit a set commission goal in year one, and your entire franchise fee is refunded. Combine that with world-class mentorship, training, marketing tools, and two all-expenses-paid retreats — and you’ve got an opportunity unmatched in the UK franchise world.

Co-founder Paul Harrison said:

We created the Money Back Challenge to really focus in their first year - arguably the hardest when launching a new business. Amy and Lori-Ann are just two of many showing that with the right support, passion, and consistency — this business works.

Your turn? If you love travel, want to be your own boss, and are ready to follow a proven path — the Elite package and the Money Back Challenge could be your perfect next step. Watch The Travel Franchise 10-minute Discovery video…
