Running an Arctic Bee franchise isn’t just about delivering outstanding marketing services — it’s about stepping into the role of a confident, capable business owner. This course has been designed to give every franchisee the essential knowledge, practical tools, and real-world understanding needed to build a strong, sustainable business from day one. Whether you’re brand new to self-employment or simply want to strengthen your foundations, this programme will guide you through the core principles of business setup, financial management, compliance, HR, and everyday operations.

While the Franchise Manual tells you how to run an Arctic Bee franchise, this course teaches you how to run a business — the two go hand in hand, but they serve different purposes. Inside these modules, you’ll learn about registering with HMRC, setting up the correct company structure, managing finances, understanding VAT, working with accountants, hiring staff or freelancers, staying compliant with UK regulations, and creating the internal systems that help a business thrive. Everything is explained clearly, step-by-step, without jargon, and always with the aim of empowering you to make informed decisions.

Being part of Arctic Bee means you’re never building alone. This course is here to help you feel grounded, confident, and in control of your business journey. By mastering the basics of business ownership, you’ll be able to get the most out of your franchise, serve your clients with professionalism, and create the stability needed to scale and grow. Think of it as your toolkit — one that supports you as you develop not just as a franchisee, but as an entrepreneur in your own right.
