Raring2go! CLUBS AND CLASSES - HOLIDAY CLUBS Profitable Part-Time Business for Sale Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, making your own decisions and taking control of your working life to fit around your family? After 10 wonderful years, I am now looking for a new owner to take over the Ipswich, Felixstowe & Woodbridge and West Suffolk editions of Raring2go! magazine and website - a well-established local business with a loyal customer base. Why This Business Works: • Profitable part-time income • Strong forward bookings • Home-based with flexible hours around family life • Be there for school runs, sports days and holidays • Low overheads My Story: During my years as Editor I've enjoyed discovering new places to visit with my family, reviewing shows at the theatre and trying out new activities with my children. By working for myself, I've been lucky enough to build a career around my family's needs. As my children are now older, I feel it's time to start a new chapter. I'm looking for another local, passionate parent to take over this business I've built with care. Don't worry though, I'm not going anywhere until I find the right person to hand over to. What You'll Need: • No previous experience necessary • An interest in the local community and what's on for families • A self starter with an eye for detail and a cando attitude • Enjoy building relationships with local businesses and attractions The Details: While Raring2go! means you work for yourself, you're part of a franchise network with systems and support in place. I will provide full handover support to help you succeed. Next Steps: If you're interested in learning more - including full financial details, the current franchise agreement terms, and an honest conversation about both opportunities and challenges - please get in touch.
