A franchise with MagiKats Tuition Centres offers you the chance to build a substantial business whilst giving back to the community by educating the next generation in maths, English and reasoning.
If you are in education but want to regain control of your “free” time then MagiKats could be for you.
If you simply feel you need to be your own boss, but with the support of a proven system that has been successfully operating for over 15 years, then MagiKats could be for you.
What Is MagiKats?
MagiKats Tuition Centres are unique – they each follow the same system but also reflect the personality of the person in charge.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers out of school tutoring in maths, English and reasoning, for children from pre-school to GCSE (National 5 in Scotland).
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers an individual programme for each of its students, ensuring they get the support they need, no matter their situation.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre is run to certain standards and uses our bespoke, KATS online system to prepare and manage work for every individual.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre fits into its community – tailoring its provision to the demands of local families.
What Are The Benefits of Joining the MagiKats Network?
Support. Pure and simple.
As a family business, we know how important it is that your business works for you and your family – whatever shape or form that takes. We provide a proven system and training methods to ensure you know how to deliver effective tutoring in your local area. We provide all the sales and marketing tools you need to build that business. We provide you with a single point of contact for all your questions – but at the same time access to a wide network of similarly minded individuals who are also doing what you are doing. What you provide is motivation, energy and your personality.
Potential.
Every business is unique, and every business owner has their own goals. At MagiKats, we don’t have performance targets or penalties for our smaller businesses. If that’s what we agree works for you, then that’s great. At the same time, we support those looking for a significant business opportunity operating across multiple sites. Whatever works. We just want kids to benefit from studying MagiKats.
How Do I Get Involved?
Once you enquire, then we will send you more detailed information about us and the opportunity. When you are ready, by far the best next step to take is to meet us. Only by doing that can you really understand our family, our business and our ambition. We want to meet you and discover if you are the right fit for us, and us for you. These sessions are now run online, but you are welcome to come and meet us face to face if you prefer – and you can then see our fabulous workshops in the flesh too!

What Is The Investment?
The cost of the franchise is £12,500. We also recommend that you have an additional £10,000 available for setup costs and equipment purchase (laptop and printer).
MagiKats believe that you should have flexibility over how you charge for the services you provide, without worrying about how that impacts on your costs. With that in mind, they do not charge an ongoing percentage based on your turnover like many franchises. Instead, they charge two types of fixed fee each month - a support fee and a materials fee.
Financing:
If you need a small business loan, MagiKats can introduce you to the franchise departments at most major banks that can, subject to status, help you with funding.
You may even qualify for a Government backed Business Start-Up Scheme loan which allows an individual to borrow up to £25,000 without having to invest any money of their own. MagiKats are more than happy to discuss this option in more detail with you.
What Territories Are Available?
We have single and multi-unit franchises available across the UK. Multi-unit franchises are currently available at a discounted rate.
So, apply today to ensure you secure your preferred area or resale location.

Is MagiKats right for you?
THE ‘RIGHT’ PROGRAMME
f you are researching tuition franchises, then you will already know that there are lots of programmes out there. Some focus entirely on worksheet-based learning, some use software. Some require shop premises, some are home based. In our opinion, the MagiKats programme is the best out there (we would say that), but does the way we run our programme fit with what you want to offer? Lots of our recent recruits have had direct experience of MagiKats already – either as parents or mentors – so choosing MagiKats was the obvious choice for them. But what about you? What can you do to decide MagiKats is the ‘right’ programme for you and the kids in your area?
If there is a MagiKats centre not too far away then get in touch with us and we can arrange for you to visit it. Make sure our programme is the ‘right’ one.
THE ’RIGHT’ FIT
MagiKats is a small, family run business. As such, all our franchisees are basically extended family! As part of the process of finding the ‘right’ franchisee, we look to see if we can see ourselves working closely with them. We also try to picture that person heading up a MagiKats centre in their area – will they be a great advocate and representative of our programme within their community?
So, are you active in the local community?
Do you know the ins and outs of the traffic? As part of the process of getting started with MagiKats, we look with you at lots of these factors, using the latest demographic data and software to map out individual MagiKats areas. However, this information has to be balanced with what you know – so it’s a collaborative process.
Most importantly, you also have to feel that you could work closely with us and the other MagiKats Principals, and be the face of MagiKats in your area. The only way to discover that is to be talking to us – getting to know us (and us getting to know you) – working out exactly what you want and whether we, together, are the ‘right’ fit.
THE ’RIGHT’ TIME
It’s reasonable to assume that the best time to open a new Tuition Centre would be at the start of the academic year, or possibly in January. That’s not necessarily right! Yes, demand from parents will peak in the Autumn and Spring terms, but it takes a while for a new centre to ‘get known’ in the area, so starting ahead of a new term can often lead to better growth – start to build a good reputation and then you can take advantage of that increased demand when it is there. Depending on your individual circumstances – really you can open a MagiKats Tuition Centre at any time!
Some people join our network within weeks of their initial enquiry – others, quite literally, take years to do so! That’s because the timing has to be ‘right’. There’s no point starting something new if you don’t have the time to invest into it. If there’s something in the background holding you back – the timing is not ‘right’. Wait until you can’t think of anything apart from MagiKats – then go for it!
