Water Babies - Central Birmingham
Business Overview
An exciting opportunity is now available to acquire a well-established Water Babies franchise in Birmingham, offering a rare combination of proven operations and outstanding growth potential. Trading since 2007, this territory benefits from the strength and reputation of the UK’s leading baby swim school while remaining significantly under-utilised, presenting an ideal opening for an ambitious new owner to scale. The business currently serves around 230 customers across three swimming pool venues, with a fourth confirmed to launch imminently. Based on demographic potential and Water Babies’ performance benchmarks, this territory has the capacity to grow to over 1,100 customers, making it one of the most compelling expansion opportunities in the network. Operating without the need for premises, the business is lean and mobile, supported by a team of qualified swimming teachers and streamlined administration. The current owners are refocusing on a neighbouring territory, creating this opportunity for someone new to take over and unlock the full value of the Birmingham region. With national marketing support from Head Office and a strong brand reputation already in place, a more proactive local presence could rapidly accelerate customer growth. The franchise agreement is currently rolling with full franchisor backing, making for a smooth and supported transition for the incoming buyer. This is a unique chance to step into a trusted brand with a scalable, community-focused business model in a major UK city.
