MagiKats makes business ownership more accessible for aspiring educators

For educators dreaming of running their own tuition business but worried about the cost of getting started, 2026 could be the turning point. Education franchise, MagiKats Tutoring, is offering a support package designed to make business ownership through its established brand more accessible for teachers and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Qualified teachers receive 20% off their initial fee

To encourage teachers to take advantage of all the benefits of becoming a MagiKats franchise owner, qualified teachers receive 20% off their initial franchise fee – a saving of almost £2,000.

Director Sarah Marsh said, “Starting a business can feel like a big leap for teachers, and we want to make that step feel achievable. You don’t need a formal teaching background to join us, as full training and teaching programmes are provided, but experienced teachers bring enormous value to our network and this incentive reflects that.”

£1,000 worth of start-up materials included

The franchise fee includes full training, rights to use the MagiKats name and assets, business plan and access to their custom system ‘KATS’ where all tuition programmes in maths and English are fully documented ready for you to teach. It also includes a comprehensive start-up kit of vital workshop materials and marketing materials worth £1000, helping new centre owners to get off the ground as smoothly as possible.

Matched marketing spend for the first 3 months

Students can enrol at a MagiKats Centre at any time during the year so there’s no need to wait until September to start your business. In fact, it’s often a good idea to build up momentum before the autumn term. With that in mind, MagiKats has added additional marketing support to its package for any new franchisees joining before September 2026. For the first three months of the launch, every £1 spent on agreed marketing activities will be matched by the franchisor, effectively stretching budgets by 50%. While a few conditions apply, it can help new centres gain more parent enquiries during their crucial early months.   

A flexible business model with low overheads

Starting a business can be daunting but it doesn’t need to be. MagiKats centres operate after school hours and/or at weekends. Franchisees are in complete control of their tuition availability, and this flexible business model allows new franchisees to keep their regular income whilst building their new one, working in the business part time if they wish.

Most centres run just two days a week and build substantial, profitable businesses making it ideal for teachers transitioning out of school teaching, people wanting to maintain a positive work-life balance perhaps after starting a family, or those who have always wanted to work with children to retrain into a new career.

One of the biggest advantages for new centre owners is the low running costs. As many costs scale with student numbers, centres can break even with only a small group of families enrolled. Operating from community spaces rather than expensive retail premises also helps to reduce overheads and financial risk during the early stages.

There’s also the opportunity to run your tuition business as a hybrid centre, splitting your time between face to face and online tutoring as MagiKats has a dedicated system in place to also offer students online learning programmes.

A family run business built to help the next generation of learners

MagiKats Tutoring has been established for over 20 years and is run by sisters, Sarah and Emma. Sarah said, “We’re focused on providing professional tools that empower students to become confident, independent learners, building the skills they need to grow and succeed in their education. As demand for private tuition continues to grow, so does our commitment to reaching more children. To do that, we’re looking for enthusiastic, values-led franchisees to help us expand our reach, using our proven programmes and established business model to support families in this thriving sector.”
