Every LMI-UK Franchisee is an independent business person in their own right. You have the freedom to work when and however suits your personal circumstances.
We want you to work 'on your business' and not forever 'in your business'. From the start we encourage you to adopt an attitude of growth and an LMI-UK franchise has the mechanism for you to expand and profitably grow.
The support structure we have in place means that although franchisees are individuals they are also supported by every other franchisee and an unrivalled network of additional resources so no one is ever out there on their own.

:: £15,000 +VAT includes essential items and programme material that can be added to over time as your business grows
6. Are there any ongoing costs?
An LMI-UK Franchisee pays £250 +VAT per month as a Support Fee. This fee covers general support services.

Upon joining the LMI-UK Franchise you will have access to our support structure and receive 10 days comprehensive training in Marketing, Negotiating, Sales, LMI-UK Business Administration, Facilitating and Coaching LMI Programmes and How to Build your Business. Subject to schedules and location you will also participate in a Leadership Forum where you will be facilitated within a small group through our leading LMI programme - Effective Personal Productivity.
8. What level of ongoing support will I receive?
We hold bi-monthly, two-day regional business development workshops where franchisees are presented with the opportunity to share findings on consumer markets and discuss the introduction of new delivery processes, techniques, and supply methods. In addition franchisees are encouraged to contribute feedback and findings to our franchise advisory board, our franchise intranet, and bulletin board facility.
Every franchisee is supplied with an LMI-UK Brand Guidelines and CD that contains logos, corporate images, typefaces, and marketing products everything you need to promote your franchise and get you noticed.
On alternate years LMI-UK Franchisees and their Associates attend conferences in either Europe or the USA where they share experiences, strategies and have the opportunity to develop their skills and global network.
Ongoing telephone and email support is also available on all issues related to Marketing, Promotion, and IT.
9. What will my earnings be as an LMI-UK Franchisee?
An LMI-UK Franchisee, once established and having gained experience, can expect to achieve earnings in excess of £50,000 pa. With the right attitude, focus and goals £100,000 pa plus is also quite realistic. A detailed explanation of your earnings potential, substantiated with actual Franchisee examples, will be presented and discussed at you first exploratory meeting with LMI-UK.
10. Do I need to have training, teaching, or facilitation experience?
LMI-UK is looking to expand its team of people developers by offering a limited number of licences to committed individuals. LMI-UK Franchisees all have passion for the business they are in. They all want to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of every business leader and individual they work with. And they all want to see their clients become even more successful.
More than half of contracts won by LMI-UK franchisees are resales to existing clients proving that they achieve outstanding results by offering a service businesses and individuals want, therefore we are looking for people who:
- wish to own a business with real potential for growth
- have at track record of success
- have a desire to help others grow
- have determination, focus and a strong-work ethic
- are leaders who appreciate being part of a wider team
- are willing to learn and apply new ideas
- have a positive mental attitude
- are goal directed and self motivated
11. What if there are other LMI-UK Franchisees in my region?
In some Regions in the UK there is more than one LMI-UK Franchise but this can be a great advantage. All LMI-UK Franchisees support one another, there is no rivalry or opposition so having other Franchisees close by means they can jointly host promotional business events or share the facilitation of a large account. LMI-UK has however limited the number of Franchisees to be appointed in each Region. This is based upon UK population statistics.
12. Will I need to take on staff?
Your business may grow to a stage where you may want or need to take on administration staff. Many LMI-UK Franchisees recruit Associates who conduct sales interviews and facilitate programmes though they work on commission rather than taking a salary.
13. Can I work from home?
Most LMI-UK Franchisees work from a home office, but some prefer to use serviced offices. The choice is yours. As facilitation and interviews take place at the client’s workplaces it is unnecessary to have a dedicated office or boardroom facility though your business may grow to the point where this becomes advantageous.
14. What do I do next?
We are just as concerned that an LMI-UK franchise is right for you as you are. Choosing a franchise is a big decision and requires an investment that you should not consider unless you are absolutely sure it is right for you.
If you are still interested in an LMI-UK franchise we suggest you contact us on 01628 669888 or email us on info@lmi-uk.com. We can send you more information and arrange for you to meet Ray King, the Managing Director of LMI-UK, to discuss franchising and investing your future with LMI-UK.
We look forward to hearing from you.
