Razzamataz Theatre Schools Franchise

Entering the Den with Duncan Bannatyne for new business opportunity

18th February 2010

If franchising can be described as a ‘business in a box’ – we ensure that the packaging of our box and what is inside is up to the highest standards!” - Denise Hutton-Gosney

Calling all entrepreneurs. Dragons’ Den multi-millionaire businessman Duncan Bannatyne has put his stamp of approval behind an exciting workshop for would-be theatre school owners.

Duncan Bannatyne was quick to see the huge potential in Razzamataz Theatre School when Razzamataz founder, Carlisle based entrepreneur Denise Hutton-Gosney appeared on the show in January 2007. Duncan Bannatyne said: “As a successful business man, I instinctively recognise an excellent opportunity. That’s why I chose to invest in Razzamataz Theatre Schools. The commitment, enthusiasm and sound business sense of the team, coupled with their proven track record of success led me to become part of the business.”

Razzamataz Theatre Schools gained national prominence when Duncan Bannatyne invested in the organisation and now boasts an impressive 40 part-time theatre schools throughout the UK. However, both Duncan Bannatyne and Denise Hutton-Gosney are keen to see further growth and are holding a Razzamataz Discovery Den Day on SATURDAY 27TH FEBRUARY 2010 at Elland Road Conference Centre
in Leeds to explain more about what’s involved in running a Razzamataz Theatre School.

Having reached the final of the ‘Franchise Marketing Awards’ sponsored by the Daily Mail and supported by the bfa and Business Franchise, Razzamataz has clearly hit upon a winning formula as Denise Hutton-Gosney explains: “The eye catching performance orientated marketing material of Razzamataz schools ensures that parents, pupils and franchisees are able to identify the services on offer and be assured that best practices are delivered. If franchising can be described as a ‘business in a box’ – we ensure that the packaging of our box and what is inside is up to the highest standards!”

The Razzamataz Discovery Den Day will explain just what’s needed to run a Razzamataz Theatre School. This includes learning about potential turnover of £46,000 with profit potential of £26,000 with only one part-time theatre school and the opportunity for multiple schools and managed outlets. Razzamataz is also showcasing its exclusive finance package offered for 2010. If you decide to take the next step, the Razzamataz team provide a fully comprehensive training week that will include how to find the most dynamic teachers to sorting the accounts and even health and safety issues.

Duncan Bannatyne has put his considerable business expertise behind Denise and is now looking to inspire future Razzamataz principals such as Catherine Hayden who is the franchisee owner of Razzamataz in Yeovil. As a Physical Training Instructor in the Royal Navy for nearly 20 years, Catherine Hayden hadn’t run a business before in the performing arts but was quick to see the benefits of investing in Razzamataz. “A fledgling franchise offered me the opportunity to establish and learn about running my own business with minimum risk.” The considerable benefit of becoming a franchisee owner is the flexibility it offers. Like many others Catherine Hayden is a mum of three young children and has managed to combine parenthood with running a successful business.

Razzamataz Discovery Den Day Date: Saturday 27 February 2010, 9.30am-4.30pm Address: Elland Road Conference Centre, Leeds United, FC
LS11 0ES
