The Programme

Not a franchise broker.
A placement programme.

Most people who want to own a business spend months navigating directories, attending expos, and talking to salespeople who are paid to place them — not match them.

Launchpad works differently. We maintain a curated group of vetted businesses across recurring-revenue categories. We do not list them publicly. We match them privately — based on your market, your capital, your goals, and your profile.

You do not browse. You apply. We review. If there is a fit, we present it. If there is not, we tell you that too.

Launch

You own the business. You operate with proven systems, territory, and ongoing infrastructure behind you. We stay involved through the full launch period.

Who Applies

This is for people
ready to own something.

Launchpad is not for people browsing options. It is for people who have decided they want to own a real business — and want a serious, structured path to get there.

Profile 01

The Experienced Employee

You have spent years building capability inside someone else's business. You are ready to apply that experience to something you own — without starting from zero.

Profile 02

The Second-Income Builder

You have stable income and want to build a real second revenue stream in a proven model — not a side hustle that requires reinventing the wheel.

Profile 03

The First-Time Operator

You want to own a business but not build one from scratch. You want proven systems, an established model, and real support — not a blank page and a hope it works.

The Numbers

What this looks like
financially.

Recurring-revenue local service businesses are among the most capital-efficient models available to first-time operators. Here is what typical economics look like — across a range of entry points.

Entry Tier

Starter Territory

$15K

Single territory. Lean start. Suitable for part-time operators building toward full-time. Lower capital, lower initial volume.

Most Common

Growth Territory

$40K

Multi-territory or established market. Full-time operation. Strong recurring revenue potential within 6–12 months of launch.

Expansion

Regional Position

$80K+

Multiple territories or category leadership. Operator with existing business experience scaling into a defined region.

Figures are indicative ranges based on typical business categories in the network. Actual investment, revenue, and returns depend on the specific opportunity, market, and operator. Discussed in full during the Discovery Call.

How We Select

We are selective.
On both sides.

We do not accept every applicant. And we do not list every business. The quality of the match matters more than the volume of placements. That is what makes it work.

Serious intentYou are ready to act, not just explore. You have a clear timeframe and real commitment to ownership.

Capital readinessYou have access to the capital required for the business category you are considering.

Market fitYour geography and target market aligns with available opportunities in the current network.

Operator mindsetYou want to own and build — not just invest passively. You are prepared to be involved.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

No. Many of the businesses in the network are specifically designed for first-time operators. What matters more is your commitment, your market, and your capital readiness. Experience helps — but it is not a requirement. We assess fit holistically.

Depends on the business. Some entry-level opportunities are structured for part-time operators who are building toward full-time. Others require more immediate involvement. We will be direct about what each opportunity demands during the Discovery Call.

We will tell you. Honestly. If there is no current opportunity that matches your profile, market, or capital range, we would rather say so than waste your time with the wrong introduction. We keep your application on file and reach out when something relevant enters the network.

We focus on recurring-revenue local service businesses — categories where demand is consistent, operators can build real equity, and the model does not require reinventing anything. Home services, health and wellness, and professional services are the primary categories currently. Specific businesses are introduced privately after application review.

Yes. Fully free, no obligation. The call is a structured conversation — not a sales pitch. If there is a fit worth pursuing, we tell you. If there is not, you will know that too. Either way, you leave with a clearer picture of your options.

We review every application personally within 48 hours. If your profile looks like a potential fit, we reach out to schedule the Discovery Call. If we need more information first, we will ask. No auto-responders. A real person reviews your application.

The application is free.
The decision is yours.

You have nothing to lose by applying. Thirty minutes of your time gives you a clear, honest picture of what is available, what fits your situation, and what the path forward looks like.
