outside of a Massage Company franchise

The Massage Company turns massage into an affordable and accessible experience for the mass market: by paying a monthly membership subscription, customers can enjoy regular, reasonably priced massage in convenient locations.

And you can enjoy a reliable, predictable income stream from multiple centres where members pay monthly and remain loyal subscribers for longer than gyms, on average.

Key USPs

  • Subscription Income - Recurring monthly Direct Debit
  • Customer Loyalty - Average membership 18+ months
  • Absentee Option - Contract us to manage your centres
  • Large Centres - Up to 15 treatment rooms
  • Exceptional Demand - Every centre fully subscribed
  • Lucrative Returns £1m+ sales, 20%+ margins* (*once established)

We aim to open 150 centres across the UK by 2030 through a mixture of owner-investors and owner-operators.

With 9 centres operational and many more currently in the pipeline, our revolution in wellness is underway.

Why the Massage market?

Enjoy first-mover advantage in an emerging and lucrative market segment. Care is saturated, gyms have every level of the market covered. Mainstream massage is genuinely new, with no current competitor and seemingly insatiable demand: every centre has quickly become fully subscribed.

Ideal Partners

We recognise that the approach into The Massage Company for you depends on your situation. You may:

  • be an empire builder with large multi-sector business portfolios
  • wish to employ managers and oversee your centres
  • enjoy personally meeting and greeting customers and managing the therapists

There are two ways into The Massage Company for you, depending on your plans or priorities:

Owner operator

You’ll be hands-on running the business and recruiting a team of therapists (with our guidance) . You won’t however be doing any massage work.

"We wanted a business that would, once established, provide a steady income whilst balancing with a healthy home life, cutting out the commute. It requires a lot of time and energy to get it right initially, but once established will allow for a much better balance and is hugely rewarding to see the benefits that we can bring to the community."
Mark & Rachel Coldham, High Wycombe

Owner investor

You’ll be hands-off: you make the investment, and we’ll do everything else for you, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the returns.

“I’ve contracted Charlie and the team to manage the daily operations of my TMC business so I can focus on my other ventures. I trust their experience and judgement and it still lets me have regular management reviews. It’s great to know we are all focused in growing a successful business.”
Taran Bassi, Tunbridge Wells

Your investment

Invest a minimum of £170K, add up to 70% bank funding to give a total initial investment of c.£500K per centre

At c.£500K per centre and favourable bank funding options, investors will be looking to invest between £170K and £700K to add a multi-centre operation to their portfolio.

  • Net profit per centre: £220k once established
  • Potential asset value: £1M+ per centre

Marketing executive swaps big brand background for a big future of his own

Following years of experience working in executive marketing positions for some of the UK’s biggest brands, when Gavin Hawthorn wanted to do something for himself, he had clear criteria in mind. “I’m passionate about a good membership subscription model and a lot of my career background is in relationships and loyalty. I’m very familiar with the commercial metrics around customer retention, so it was an obvious focus for my search for a franchise to run.” That search led him to The Massage Company.
