Franchise licence fee
Full Portrait and Wedding franchise £7,500 + vat
Our Easy-Track Franchise proposition
A Barrett & Coe franchise is a passport to more than business success alone. We will teach you how to create contemporary, leading edge photography. Take our knowledge and experience to help you build a professional, creative and profitable photographic business.
Our aim is to be the best supported franchise in the UK.
Whatever your background we can train you to take professional photographs. In our experience we have often found people surprise themselves in what they are able to achieve in a very short time. Our current franchisees include a former banker, lawyer, accountant,
IT manager and property developer. Many franchisees are parents with young families.
The target market
We operate primarily in two markets - Portrait and/or Weddings. Many of our franchisees achieve their target of 30 wedding bookings in their second full year. Andrew Coe was the first photographer in the UK to specialise in a reportage approach to wedding photography, now so popular with brides.
This form of photography has been a hallmark of the Barrett & Coe approach since the early 90’s. The portrait market has grown massively. The emergence of digital photography allows you to create relaxed, informal and spontaneous portraiture, breathing new life into the portrait market and enhancing the customer experience.
Flexibility to suit you
We have designed the franchise to be totally flexible to help you get off the ground. No photographic experience is necessary – we give you everything you need. An Easy-Track franchise can be full or part-time, whatever you need or want to do. If you want to concentrate on babies and families, then fine. If you want to do the whole Weddings and Portrait package, that’s fine too. After three years we would expect you to progress to operating full-time from your own studio.
Be sure it's right for you
You may be wary of committing a large capital sum to buy a franchise. Our training allows you to “try before you buy”. You can attend a one day seminar or one of our nationally recognised training courses to help you decide if our franchise is right for you. To take this route you will require a minimum of equipment. Our training courses are unique. No other training course offers tuition over an extended period with frequent seminars, personal tutors and the ability to accompany photographers on assignments.
Each course culminates in a full day of practical and written work covering photography, marketing, business systems and photographic theory in order to achieve your Barrett & Coe photography qualification. Each franchisee is required to become a member of the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) and the MPA (Master Photographers Association).
