The Bike Fitters

Earnings potential £100k+ | Be your own boss | Take control of your time

Starting your own business with The Bike Fitters franchise provides a complete business-in-a-box. As a franchisee you will own and operate your own bike fitters business in your local area, with the brand, systems, guidance and support of our professional friendly team at The Bike Fitters HQ.

Could I be a Bike Fitter?

To be successful you need to be great with people; polite, respectful, and PASSIONATE about cycling! No bike fitting experience is necessary as you will be fully trained in all the tools, techniques and systems. Franchisees are welcome from a wide range of backgrounds, including:



As one of ‘The Bike Fitters’, you will be trained and certified in our bike fitting system. It’s not just a one-off course, you will receive ongoing updates and insights to ensure you stay at the forefront of the industry. As well as the technical, we will guide and support you in how to grow your local business – another benefit of being part of a franchise network.


And with this business model there are more income streams as a result of the relationships you’ll develop through each bike fit. Often new bikes arrive and need properly setting up pre-fit. Then there is the supply of parts for each fit and the inevitable conversations around the latest tech and innovations that will often lead to further interactions. You’ll become your client’s trusted advisor!

Become a trusted advisor to your local cyclists

Home bike fitting is a huge opportunity in a fragmented market with so much potential. One bike fit often leads to another! Some clients have multiple bikes, most will have their own network of similarly passionate cycling buddies too – it’s so rewarding at so many levels.


If you are looking to start your own business, starting it with a franchise system is proven to be much lower risk and far more profitable for you as the franchisee than going it alone as an independent. You also don’t have to spend as much money either!

There are many benefits to becoming a TBF franchisee…

• Turn your passion for cycling into an income
• Take control of your work/leisure time
• No premises required and low overheads
• Rewarding role helping people increase their enjoyment of cycling
• Earn an amazing income when compared with the industry norms
• Scale to a multi-van operation and build a business to sell

FAQs

How do I find people who want a bike fitting?

We have a proven mix of marketing activities to drive a steady and increasing flow of leads to fit with your confidence and capacity.

Are there enough people to build a multi-van bike fitting business near me?

We employed the best franchise mapping company in the UK to ensure each territory has more than enough potential for you to reach the sales levels stated.

How big are the territories?

Each territory has been mapped so that from the centre the maximum drive is c.30mins, ensuring you aren’t spending all your time traveling between fits!

I love the idea of building my own bike fitting business, but how much admin is there?

You will get our App that helps you run your business, minimising the admin required so you can focus on the rewarding people-to-people elements of the role.

How much can I really earn?

Quite a bit! You should finish year 1 with c.£43,000, year 2 with c.£66,500, year 3 with c.£81,500 and then you have options, e.g. starting an employee in a second van or looking at more territory. But these numbers are not guaranteed and depend on how you perform.

What money do I live off while getting the business going?

If for example you need £1.5k per month to live off while starting your new business, we’ll build this into your business plan, so you’ll have the working capital available – no worries.
