Go-Kart Party has established itself as a brand leader in the multi-million pound children’s entertainment market

Go-Kart Party specialises in mobile go-karting for children’s themed parties or events in a market worth an estimated £216 million. The franchise business was established in 2004 and is the brand leader in the children’s entertainment market. It features low overheads and high earning potential, plus the chance to work from home hiring indoor sports halls to host parties from.

Mobile business

The franchise involves setting up an inflatable go-kart track and supervising the children driving the karts.

This is a mobile business, with franchisees keeping all the equipment required to run the business in a small Transit size vehicle.

Revenue streams

The franchise has a number of revenue streams - from parties held all year round, outdoor shows and events to corporate events and a unique road safety programme designed for primary school children using Go-Kart Party’s environmentally friendly electric go-karts.

As part of the franchise package, a large protected territory is provided, along with all the venues required to host the parties, which are secured by Go-Kart Party head office.

Support and knowledge are a must in this industry, which is provided from day one with a diary of work to walk into, along with industry polices, liability insurance and the necessary clearance.

Flexible opportunity

Many franchisees start their business around other jobs, as the parties will mainly occur at the weekends. The business can be run part-time or full-time. Alternatively, franchisees can take on staff and adopt a management role. Finance is available via the high street banks.
