Portrait Photography

 

 

Venture has changed the UK Portrait industry forever. Having shaken the industry out of its traditional past, Venture has pioneered the concept of contemporary and stylish portraiture.

Venture is widely recognised as the market leader and the only nationally represented brand within the premium portrait market. Our 65 UK studios provide a truly unique service to our customers and our business model delivers great returns. Venture is quite possibly one of the best franchise opportunities in the market today.

The Venture Franchise Opportunity

Purchasing a Venture Franchise offers a rare opportunity to acquire a business that has a proven track record, extensive brand recognition and is the clear market leader in its sector.By becoming a Venture franchisee you'll get extensive support from us. And you'll be able to apply your own business and entrepreneurial skills to our successful business model, growing a successful enterprise in the process.
 

Franchising is a partnership – both parties contribute to the overall success of the business. Here’s our side of the partnership: Full support service throughout the process of acquiring or opening a Venture franchise We will initially meet you to discuss our organisation and allow both parties to better understand each other. We will then invite you to join us for half a day at our Head Office. You will see first hand the franchise support functions and we will spend time to build a strong and successful working relationship. After completing this stage, one of our commercial managers will support you throughout the process of purchasing or opening the business, including giving you access to our well established finance and banking relationships. Initial Induction Training You’re probably already experienced in business, perhaps even within the photography industry. We will however, assume nothing and you will be taken through an 8-10 week training programme that will compliment the skills and knowledge that you already have. The training will predominantly be field based in one or more of our studios and will cover amongst other things: Venture photographic experience Sales Customer contact Generating customer leads Studio operations

Ongoing training

All Venture photographers are required to be qualified internally by achieving the Venture Diploma in Photography. This bespoke programme ensures that all of our photographers, whatever their backgrounds, are able to provide a first class customer experience and great Venture photography every time.

The Venture Certificate in Studio Management is a modular programme that our General Managers and franchisees go through. Digital training is centrally provided and our training team provide many other opportunities to learn and develop.
