“I started like you, with a passion for performing arts, a belief in the benefits and a desire to pass it on to as many young people as possible. I love seeing that once shy child progress in confidence and take on a big role in the end of term performance. Nobody believes me now, but I was once that shy child, hanging on to my mother’s legs! I believe my love of performing arts and the training that followed contributed to who I am today and my business success.”
As a Jigsaw franchisee, you will offer weekend performing arts classes for students aged 3 – 18 years. Each weekend school is a morning or afternoon on Saturday or Sunday. With the optional Holiday Camps, Birthday Parties, Jigsaw Jumpers and Youth Theatre.
Our 3-4 years and 5-6 years students attend a 90-minute session with a specialist performing arts teacher. 7 – 18 years are divided into three age groups and attend for 3 hours, enjoying an hour of each, dance, drama and singing with three professional teachers.
As the business owner, you would oversee the successful running of your school every weekend, delivering first class customer service ensuring every one of your students has a fantastic experience. The administration would be carried out during the week at times suitable to you.
Our model is beautifully designed, and allows creative professionals the opportunity to run a business for yourself without the fear of setting off on the journey alone.

OUR STORY
Jigsaw have a proven track record and have crucially kept the family feel which makes us so special. At Jigsaw, we really believe in the benefits of what we provide to young people. There is nothing we love more than hearing from past students and seeing how their performing arts skills have helped prepare them for life’s challenges whether they work in the industry or elsewhere. In fact, some students have remained in the Jigsaw family and become assistants, teachers, managers and now franchisees. That is the ultimate goal and is what contributes to creating a place to belong with our students and franchisees.
What’s more, we have invested in a bespoke online booking and management system, which is leading in this industry. It makes the day to day running of your business easy and you can stay on top of your administrative tasks, anytime and anywhere giving you great flexibility to fit your business with your lifestyle.
You may already work in the performing arts or have more of a business background with a passion for theatre and performance. We welcome applications from both. The only requirements are a passion to work with young people and make a difference, a desire to succeed and a hard working attitude. We know this is a winning combination.
A part time business that can provide you with a full time wage that fits around you and your other life commitments. For an initial licence fee of £8995 + VAT, a full capacity school (118 students) can make a profit of £30K per annum.
