The Franchise Magazine:
When Amy Wilson began looking into setting up her own business she wanted something that would fit around looking after her two young children while also fulfilling her desire to work in a creative industry. “I have a background in television working in script development, which involved looking after new and emerging talent,” recalls Amy.
“When I was made redundant from my job I started freelancing, however, I then had two children and thought about setting up my own business and my husband suggested franchising. My mum and sister had taken classes with LIPA and my mum suggested that this franchise would be perfect for me.
“As well as being in the arts industry, LIPA 4:19 appealed to me because it had low investment and set up costs and it was attached to the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts – a well known and quality brand.”
LIPA 4:19 franchise owners can either teach singing, drama and dance classes themselves, if they have the experience and qualifications needed, or they can hire staff to take classes and run it as a management franchise.
