This is the unique power of becoming one of our franchisees, equipping you and enabling you to take the fastest growing online business sector by storm.
The online business industry is booming, with more people needed in the industry than ever before, yet its reputation remains consistently poor.
It is a reputation tarnished by the creation of more and more low quality courses filled with fluff, often taught by ‘coaches’ who are often still beginners themselves.
So, despite the wealth of opportunities, there is a real grey area for both potential businesses and those who seek to work in the industry, as there remains a lack of trust for both parties.
We know all this, but rather than just accept it, we are making a change.
“Lisa Johnson is incredible.
She just has a knack for knowing not just what her clients want, but what they actually need, and this is why she consistently sells out everything she produces.
I’ve worked with Lisa for a number of years now and have had tremendous success, and am delighted to keep working with her.”
Sam Lubanzu – Diversity and Inclusion Consultant and Specialist
Here at The Business Success Company, we believe there is a better way, and we want you to be a part of it.
A way that resonates with those coaches, strategists, mentors and consultants who aspire to be part of something new, something groundbreaking, something that leads the way in ethical practices, something that would make them feel proud to call themselves a coach or mentor.
At The Business Success Company, we believe that success isn’t really success unless you bring others along with you. We want you to become a part of the success story by working with us and becoming a part of the team.
We have already created the most successful online strategy company in the UK, and this is our opportunity to share the knowledge that led us to this position.
To share the knowledge that gives us valuable insights into what your clients will look for next and the very best ways to sell your offers, combining the right messaging with the right brand.
Time is the most valuable commodity there is.
So many people are time poor, working stupid hours, missing out on family time, and seemingly further away every day from the life they dreamt of creating.
Being a franchisee for The Business Success Company means you choose when you work.
You follow a tried and tested formula to create regular recurring revenue, that has no relation to shady pyramid scheme selling.
Meaning you will be in total control of your business, yet supported by the TBSC team at all times and in everything you do.
Let’s expand on the three areas that we have created for you as a franchisee.
The Success Suite
The Success Suite is a comprehensive collection of assets to make sure you have everything you need to embrace TBSC ethos and values, whilst providing you with every element of learning and knowledge you will need to reach your full potential as a successful business owner.
It is part mastermind, part training facility, and part asset library. You bring yourself, your commitment, your enthusiasm and your drive and we provide you with everything else you could possibly need.
As part of the Business Success Company family, you benefit from our experience and our support at all times, and the Success Suite is the resource to end all resources.
Crammed with content, we give you everything you could possibly need. We understand that those first steps are often the hardest, that is why we make it impossible for you to fail. (And if you do wobble, we are always there to catch you.)
There are trainings to help you with every element of what you will need. From audience growth to hiring freelancers, templates for pitching to help corporate businesses or schools to legal templates, KPI spreadsheets and everything in between, you’ll be covered.
The list really is so comprehensive, and the breakdown of its value brings home the level of content included.
But this is just the beginning.
Our team will be invested in you and your growth. As we observe areas that are growing in demand, trends that are influencing business success, specific lessons we have learnt, we will continue to add to the suite. Everything we learn will be shared with you.
Everything we use in our business will be yours to enhance your business, because your win is our win.
By becoming a TBSC franchisee, you are becoming part of our team, part of our brand and part of our legacy.
You gain access to our IP and therefore immediately benefit from being affiliated with the authority we already have in the marketplace as the UK’s number 1 online strategy company.
We cannot over emphasise the headstart, the visibility and the respect that this alone will generate in the consistently overcrowded online market.
As our brand is based on integrity and a strong ethical stance, you will be afforded the trust from thousands of potential customers.
Because our values and our ethos are aligned with yours, and we aspire to be the best in the market, our role is 100% focussed on you.
We are committed to ensuring you have everything you need to grow and to further develop under the TBSC brand, meaning you can focus on what you do best.
That is why our tried and tested training pathway is included in your Success Suite, and starts with obtaining our CPD Certified Business Strategist accreditation before you start your journey with us.
To quote the CPD certification service:
“Accredited CPD training means the learning activity has reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks. The learning value has been scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality”
Put simply, when you see someone holds a certificated accreditation in their specialism, you immediately think expertise, and expertise equals more trust, less risk and a far higher chance that you will invest in that person.
You become a trusted authority. Especially when it is from a trusted, recognised and respected body like the CPD Certification Service.
Over 8 modules, you will learn everything from mastering the fundamentals of business strategy and advanced analysis techniques to crafting strategic sales plans and conducting comprehensive market research.
The CPD Certified Business Strategist Modules
Module 1 - Your introduction to business strategy.
Module 2 - How to use analysis for growth.
Module 3 - Focussing on business modelling and the PDE method.
Module 4 - Building the business through training and recruitment within your business needs.
Module 5 - Looking in detail at your processes and operations.
Module 6 - Successful sales planning and execution, and the art of selling strategically.
Module 7 - Market and business research.
Module 8 - Scaling and expansion, looking at business culture in the different stages of business.
On completion, you will complete a case study and examination which will be independently graded, before you are awarded your accreditation.
Remember, it is not a simple process to receive CPD accreditation, so rest assured, the level of content is at the very top level – otherwise it wouldn’t have been accredited.
Now here's the best part.
If you sign up for our Elite Franchise package, you not only have the opportunity to obtain this respected qualification yourself. We have decided that, in addition to the incredible assets and support that you receive as a franchisee for The Business Success Company, you will also have clearance to teach your clients, allowing them to become accredited! We will get the exams and case studies marked for you.
We’ve already talked about how prestigious this qualification is, and the respect and kudos that goes with a CPD approved product. So just imagine the impact that this qualification could have on your prospective clients.
The bottom line is that without a strategy that goes deeper and wider, businesses fail in challenging economic times when they don’t need to.
This means that businesses are realising the importance of real business strategy – and now you can help them.
Creating an effective business strategy helps to define your target market, identify new opportunities, analyse your competitors and create a clear roadmap and you will have the tools to ensure your clients no longer see this as a daunting task.
Ready Made Assets for Clients
Ok, so you’re in. You’ve studied our business model, you’ve lapped up the content in the Success Suite and you are ready to really bring your role in the TBSC team to life.
You are ready to get out there and let everybody know what incredible opportunities you have ready for them. The level of content we have for you is unique in the online world.
Courses and programmes that we have collated, created and curated to meet specific client needs over the last seven years. Constantly updated and evolving content that has a proven track record of selling and succeeding.
For starters, we are talking over £100k worth of assets from courses to bundles and workshops as well as lead magnets and sales pages to go with them.
As with the Success Suite, we do not rest, that is why we have achieved what we have achieved, and continue to lead the way in the coaching and mentoring world.
We are always studying and learning, meaning that every quarter you’ll receive a new drop of fresh offers for your clients.
Across headings such as Visibility, Operations, Mindset and many more. We provide you with content from evergreen courses and workshops to larger programmes that you can launch.
Low ticket offers, tripwires, 1-1 in person coaching structures, corporate lunch and learns and business courses for kids in schools. Just pick your industry and you are ready to sell.
Our purpose is to ensure that you have every element and every step in place for each product you have to sell. So, all the tools you will need to create a seamless experience for your clients are there for you, whether it’s a challenge, sprint, lead magnet or sales page.
Franchisee Feedback
“When I saw the franchise with The Business Success Company, I immediately jumped in. This was just what I had been looking for and something that would save me time and show professionalism on a different level.
I knew I wanted to deliver courses and offer various products for the businesses that I helped but, I never seemed to have the time. I was being asked the same things all the time and the franchise had everything already done for me by experts. That wasn’t the only reason. What really drew me in was the amazing support being offered. I have been given assets such as a website, a CRM, business training to help me be successful, tech support, a platform to ask anything, and mentors to train and advise me how to grow my business. Nothing seems too much to ask. The support group has other franchisees too so, l don’t feel like I’m on my own in business anymore and the networking means access to other professionals that I can collaborate with and work as a team together. An early sales day has also been arranged to ensure success and to start making money. There is a clear training pathway that has taught me more than other courses I have done and clear tech set up instructions to personalise the assets.
When I bought the franchise, I knew this wasn’t the full package as more was to be added over time. I feel like my hand is being held every step of the way which is incredible on its own.
I wouldn’t hesitate to answer any questions, or to recommend this franchise to anyone who offers businesses products or services.”

“Lisa’s team is incredible, I have learnt so much from them and they are all generous with their time and expertise.
They regularly provide me with knowledge and support, recently Karen helped me to see what was missing from my team and help me strategise the next steps towards growing and scaling.
What I love about Lisa’s team is that they all complement each other - if you have a question or a problem that needs solving, they’ll have the answers for you.
I cannot thank Lisa and the team enough for the help and support they have given me. If you are thinking about signing with them on this amazing opportunity I would recommend it without hesitation."
Charlie Day - CEO Charlie Day Sales
By working with us you can become a trailblazing, change making member of The Business Success Company, playing a key role in a global revolution in coaching, mentoring and franchising.
Our Mission
To support the very best coaches, strategists, mentors and consultants to create thriving, profitable businesses, ensuring that they make an incredible impact on their clients.
For us, the word that stands out and underpins everything we do is “impact.”
Let’s be clear - there is nothing in the world of business that has not been done before, but we have taken the stand to do it in a different way.
A way built on integrity, inclusion, openness and honesty.
These are the values that we hold to our hearts, and these are the values that set us apart.
These are the values that will resonate with every one of our franchisees and every one of their clients.
Our Vision
To help people who want to change the world to change the world
What could be simpler and more important than this? What could be more unifying and empowering?
We have the knowledge, the drive, the belief, and the experience and we are creating a team of like minded, ambitious franchisees who are in tune with every single one of The Business Success Company’s ethics and values.
These are our beliefs and we are proud to go about things in a new, improved and ethical way.
We have been around long enough to know that being supported by knowledgeable and experienced coaches has tangible results.
But don’t just take our word for it….
80% of coaching clients say they improved their self-esteem or self-confidence thanks to coaching.
73% of clients say that coaching helps them improve their relationships, communication skills, interpersonal skills, work performance, work/life balance, and wellness.
Studies tell us that 99% of individuals and companies who hire a coach are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the experience.
Why become a franchisee?
As well as the confidence, belief and diligence behind the impeccable support, the raft of information in the Success Suite and the constantly evolving library of courses, we have done our research.
We know the franchise model works well, providing a proven business model that has been tried and tested by other successful organisations.
The UK franchise industry has grown 10% over the past five years with 60% of franchises turning over more than £250,000.
The success rate of franchise businesses in the UK is way higher than that of independent businesses. According to the BFA NatWest survey, 93% of franchisees reported profitability in 2019. This is compared to only around 60% of independent businesses.
When you bring the extra TBSC edge to the model, the possibilities are mind blowing.
Our support and resources mean you can focus on running your business your way, as effectively as possible, without the pressure of developing new products or services.
The future of franchises in the UK is booming, with continuous growth over the past decade, contributing significantly to the country’s economy. In 2018 alone, the industry’s contribution increased by 10.9% to £17.2 billion, but here’s where it gets really interesting, and why we know this is a no brainer.
The traditionally successful franchise sectors – food and beverage, property, homecare – are being caught up by a newer kid on the block. Advancements in technology have made it simple for franchisees to manage their businesses remotely while maintaining high levels of customer service. This has led to increased efficiency and profitability across many sectors.
We know that the “entrepreneur boom” that took place during the pandemic has led to thousands of start ups in the UK. It’s no coincidence that since 2015, the number of franchisee-owned units in the UK has increased by 14 per cent, as many franchises have realised this potential market and devised products and services to realise its potential.
This is all great stuff, but we wanted to take the franchise game, and up it a few levels.
Meet Our Founders
Lisa Johnson is a Global Business Strategist and Sunday Times Bestselling author.
She is a trailblazer in the coaching and mentoring space and is passionate about helping others to grow their businesses.
This passion and belief that business is not complicated led to the founding of The Business Success Company with Karen Paylor.
Lisa has featured on numerous TV shows and has appeared in national newspapers and magazines including Forbes, The Telegraph, Psychologies, The Guardian and Fast Company as well as being the money expert for Femail. Her Podcast Making Money Online has been downloaded over 420,000 times, and reached number one in the business podcast charts.
No stranger to online selling, Lisa has had several multi-million course launches, with one launch earning £1.2 million in the first hour of sales.
Overcoming a difficult childhood in social housing led her to be the supportive yet bold, straight-talking strategist she is today, believing that anyone can become successful, no matter their background.
She took herself from £30,000 in debt to become a successful entrepreneur making over £20m and helping thousands of people in just 7 years and now she is giving back by inspiring others to follow in her footsteps.
She lives in Bedfordshire, England with her husband and twin sons but spends as much time as she possibly can travelling.
Karen Paylor is co-founder and COO of The Business Success Company and Operations Director for That Strategy Co.
Her career in planning and project management saw her deliver numerous complex corporate projects such as stock disposals, a housing PFI, and she was Head of Integration Planning for a large merger of two housing associations.
In July 2022, Karen was approached by Lisa Johnson to become her Operations Director.
The role was created to utilise Karen’s broad and dynamic skillset, giving Karen the opportunity to play a key role in the operational growth of the business, contributing to a £2.9m launch in March 2024.
Karen is passionate about Project Management.
She is adept at analysing a strategy and outline brief, leading her to assess opportunities, identify risks, improve processes, and deliver timebound and measurable results.
Her corporate roles have given her a deep understanding of managing budgets, team management, planning, processes, stakeholder relationships, risk awareness and she had successfully transferred these skills to the online world where she has learnt to be more agile and more visible, and less risk averse.
We are proud and excited to share this opportunity with you to become part of The Business Success Company. To become a part of our success, part of our journey and part of our family.
To take advantage of the ever expanding opportunities in the online coaching and mentoring world, whilst also giving back, and laying the foundations for doing things in a better way.

Let’s do this together.
