About the Children’s Franchise Enterprise

The Children’s Franchise Enterprise was launched in February 2021 to champion children’s franchises here in the UK.

Whether you’re a franchisor running a children’s franchise, a parent looking for a family friendly career, a teacher exploring your options beyond the classroom or someone who loves working with children then you’ve come to the right place!

If you are looking to franchise your business we can help with that too. Find out more over at Franchise Business School.

Our mission is to support franchise recruitment and connect as many franchise businesses with potential franchisees as possible.

This website and our social media channels are dedicated to promoting children’s franchises. We are passionate about franchising and have a specialist knowledge of the children’s franchise market.

Meet Debs, the Director of the Children’s Franchise Enterprise

Prior to setting up the Children’s Franchise Enterprise, Debs was running children’s events and party franchise Bish Bash Birthdays. She was also director of Popcorn Film and Theatre Workshop – working with children aged 4-11 in North London.

As a franchisor in the children’s sector, Debs found that there was a gap in the market for a platform purely dedicated to the world of children’s franchising. This niche side of the industry doesn’t always fit in well with the men in suits and traditional franchise spaces. Hence the Children’s Franchise Enterprise was born during the Covid pandemic.

Debs has a background in theatre and television. Her career highlights include working as a script editor in children’s drama on shows such as The Story of Tracy Beaker and The New Worst Witch. She has also worked on the odd soap or two (or four!).
