99.5% of franchises succeed… while around 50% of start-ups fail.
I know – big gulp moment, right?
But when you actually stop and think about it, it makes perfect sense. Starting a business completely on your own is a bit like trying to build IKEA furniture without the instructions. You’ll probably get there eventually… but you’ll also swear, sweat, and question your life choices along the way.
Franchising, on the other hand?
It’s like someone hands you the instructions, the tools, the guidance, AND checks in to make sure you’re not about to put a shelf on upside down.
It’s not cheating.
It’s just… sensible.
Why Franchises Do So Well
A franchise works because you’re not starting from scratch. You get:
✨ A proven framework that’s already been tested, tweaked, and shown to work
✨ Training and ongoing support (so you’re never left thinking “Erm… what now?”)
✨ A community of people cheering you on, sharing ideas, and helping you grow
✨ A brand with a reputation that already means something
So instead of spending years figuring things out the hard way, you get to focus on the good stuff – your passion, your community, your impact.
And that’s why the success rate for franchises is sky high.
You’re not winging it. You’re building something real and meaningful, with support of a proven brand and business in box behind you.
What This Looks Like at On Broadway® Dance Fitness
At OBDF, we’re on a mission to help people turn their love of dance into thriving businesses – without the panic, overwhelm, or “I really should know this by now” moments that so many new business owners go through.
Our franchisees weren’t business experts when they came on board.
They’re dancers, ex school teachers, creatives, community-builders… and some simply wanted a change from their stressful 9 to 5 jobs that were no longer giving them joy.
And with our model, we’ve seen people replace (and even exceed!) a full-time salary by teaching as few as 6 joyful classes a week.
Six.
Not sixty, not seven days a week, not late nights glued to spreadsheets.
Just six.
Because when you’ve got a structure that works, you don’t need to hustle yourself into the ground. You just follow the roadmap – and put your own sparkle on it.
Thinking About Making A Change In Your Life?
Have you ever wished you could be your own boss, but don’t know where to start?
If you’ve felt that nudge – the one that whispers “surely there’s more to life than this?” – franchising could be a way to step into something exciting without doing it all alone.
You don’t need to be business-minded.
You don’t even need to “have it all figured out.”
You just need passion, people skills, and a belief that you deserve a life that actually lights you up.
After all…
✨ 99.5% of franchises succeed – so honestly, why not you?

A Real Story From Someone Who’s Been There
Before I wrap up, I want to share something from Emma – one of our wonderful On Broadway® Dance Fitness franchisees in Worcestershire. Her words really sum up what’s possible when you’ve got the right support behind you:
I’ve never felt more supported in my whole life. Before becoming a franchisee I felt lost and didn’t really know what I wanted. I felt like I was getting too old to do anything about it! When I found OBDF I was nervous about taking risks – I wondered “am I capable?”, “will I get clients through the door?” – these were all worries I had back then, but not anymore!
Being a franchisee has made me feel so elated and so excited about what’s to come! You get so much support from Katy and all of the other franchisees as well. I have NEVER felt so backed by anyone in my entire career across all of the different jobs that I have had in my lifetime. If that doesn’t get you buzzing, I don’t know what would!
The marketing 100% works to get tasters into our classes every month. By following the guidance given to you by On Broadway® Dance Fitness it makes running a profitable and enjoyable business completely achievable. I see women walk out of my classes with smiles on their faces, I am earning an income doing what I love, and it has changed the way I look at life!
