Founder to Franchise Mastermind.
Twelve months with Carla Chatburn to turn a business that depends on you into one that scales without you — systems, team, brand and an expansion model built to franchise standard.
Brilliant at the work. Trapped inside the business.
- You're consistently booked but the business still depends on you.
- You want a second location, a licence model or a franchise — and need the blueprint.
- Your systems live in your head, not in documents your team can run.
- You're ready to be paid like an owner, not the hardest-working member of staff.
Four quarters. One scalable business.
Quarter 1 · Foundations
Profit audit, pricing rebuild and a clear 12-month scaling map. We fix the numbers before we add anything new.
Quarter 2 · Systems
SOPs, hiring frameworks and your operations manual — the documents a second site (or a franchisee) can actually run from.
Quarter 3 · Team & Brand
Leadership, culture and a brand playbook so the experience is identical whether or not you're in the room.
Quarter 4 · Expansion
Your franchise or multi-site model, unit economics, legal groundwork and the launch plan for site two.
Everything you need to build it properly.
One investment of £9,999 for the full twelve months — mentorship, systems, in-person days and the platform included.

Questions, answered.
Who is this not for?
Founders in their first year, or anyone looking for done-for-you marketing. This is a build-the-business programme and it asks real work of you.
Do I need to want a franchise?
No. Franchise-ready simply means the business runs without you. Many members use it for a second site, a licence model or a clean exit.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. Payment plans are available across the 12 months — we'll cover the options on your application call.
How do I join?
