Pilot Franchise Opportunity in your area!
Coconut Creatives have been working with Whizz Bang Pop, the national children’s entertainment business to assist them to launch its franchise operation.
This franchise is ideal for people who do not want a 9 – 5 job behind a desk. It is for individuals that enjoy working with children where every day is different and brings new challenges and rewards.
Whizz Bang Pop is a children’s entertainment business with an established network of entertainers throughout the UK operated from its head office in Brighton. With over 4 years of trading history, Whizz Bang Pop has proved its business model is sustainable and reliable in a range of economic conditions, in providing entertainment for children aged 3 – 12 years old.
This is a BRAND NEW franchise looking for just TWO individuals to operate a pilot franchise within their area. A pilot franchise is the same as a normal franchise, just with an exceptionally low fee! Whizz Bang Pop will offer significant opportunities for the right individuals to completely change their lifestyle and have fun every day through entertaining children. Individuals can also consider operating a Whizz Bang Pop franchise as a management business with a network of their own entertainers.
Established in 2005 as a premier children’s entertainment business, Whizz Bang Pop is looking for enthusiastic, friendly and outgoing individuals to develop the Whizz Bang Pop children’s entertainment brand in their own area.
“The two pilot franchisees will be fully trained using our proven systems and entertainment techniques. We will only be looking for a small number of franchisees initially so that we can provide them with an excellent level of care,” explains Sally Davis, Managing Director.
The franchise package includes comprehensive training, support and an operations manual. Franchisees will launch with an integrated marketing campaign including a promotional launch! Leads are partly generated through the Whizz Bang Pop HQ and passed on to the franchisee within the area.
“What other job could encompass my three favourite things: fancy dress, singing and being silly? It is one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had,” Elena Kyriacou, Whizz Bang Pop Entertainer, Sussex.
The Whizz Bang Pop package also includes an exclusive set of costumes, designed for Whizz Bang Pop by Renaissance Designs and custom made for each franchisee. “It is vital that Whizz Bang Pop costumes are unique and endearing. A Whizz Bang Pop children’s party is an experience like no other and the children really believe that they have met a fairy, princess or pirate!” adds Sally.
Exclusively for the first 2 pilot franchisees, the franchise fee is heavily reduced to just £7,595!
This includes FULL training, launch, operations manual and exceptional support from the experienced management team. Training includes shadowing a current Whizz Bang Pop entertainer, so you will feel completely comfortable and confident when the time comes to do it alone! For those looking for a challenging and fulfilling new career working with children, with flexible hours to suit your lifestyle and commitments, this is the franchise for you!

Coconut Creatives is now working with Mirage’s beauty salon in Leeds. Mirage is renowned for its professionally tailored treatments in a relaxing and tranquil environment and this successful business is now available as a franchise. This unique franchise opportunity is the ONLY combined hair and beauty business currently available in the UK.
Jaz Rander, founder of Mirage and qualified beauty therapist, explains why the franchise offering has been developed, “The Leeds salon draws clients from up to 70 miles away and they tell us that it is because we combine innovative beauty services with a real care for the individual. We have always strived to do things differently at Mirage and this has built our reputation to a point where our regular clients include national TV celebrities.”
Mirage was one of the first salons in the region to offer threading, Hollywood waxing, sugaring and non-surgical facelifts. The salon is also known for effectively treating skin pigmentation, acne and acne scarring, and other skin problems using their own PRAVI product range. PRAVI has been developed using ayurvedic principles, combining herbs, minerals and oils that contribute towards natural healing of the skin and Mirage franchisees will have exclusive use of these products.
A Mirage franchise would suit anyone looking for a management opportunity and whilst a keen interest in the beauty industry is desirable, it is not necessary as full training will be provided. The franchise, which costs just £106,500*, includes all training, treatment machines, operations manual, legalities, marketing promotion and opening stock.
