GO KART PARTY (UK) LTD

GO KART PARTY (UK) LTD

Established in 2004, by Gerry Ussher, Go-Kart Party offers children, from 4-10 years old, a unique driving experience. “Children just love to drive and they can’t wait to get into the karts especially with the success of British racing drivers such as Jensen Button and Lewis Hamilton” says Gerry.


Work in a Market Worth £300 Million! With an estimated 4.5 million children (4-10 years old) in the UK ALL with birthdays in the next 12 months, this market is estimated at £300 million pounds - children are the best customers EVER, with their famous “Pester Power.”

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Go-Kart Party are members of the BFA with a network of over 55 franchisees across the UK, it’s a proven business and you will have the support and infrastructure to make your Go-Kart Party franchise a huge success. The business is totally mobile so no need for any special premises.
 
There are 3 main Revenue streams:
Birthday Parties Indoor in Halls - outdoor in Gardens
Retail Days Indoor in Shopping centres – outdoor at Shows
Corporate Events Indoor or outdoor
 
We focus on children who want to spend their parent’s money and parents who want to give their children the most they can. Ask yourself how much do you spend on your children?


Working from home, with hours to suit you, you will provide entertainment for children with our specially manufactured Go-Karts. Birthday parties, school fetes, fairs, carnivals, shopping centres, product launch days, anywhere children need entertaining and parents need a break!
Start part-time, maintaining an existing revenue stream or start a full-time business.


No premises; you utilise leisure centres, school halls or customers venue. Your equipment can be stored in your van and is fully insured against theft.


Birthday Parties – held in leisure centres, school halls (we secure these for you) or the customers own garden. Go-Kart Party creates a party they never forget. Indoor venues allow you to hold multiple parties per day (the record is currently 7) AND they are unaffected by poor weather conditions, unlike bouncy castles etc. This is our number 1 source of referrals for more parties, a real self promoting business.


Retail Days – Indoor or outdoor events – you will charge a fee for children to use the karts for a set duration. A great source of cash income, as well as a fantastic promotional tool.


Corporate Events – You are “employed” by companies who are launching a new product, or giving staff or customers a day out, and you are there to entertain the children. Usually a fixed fee is paid for your services and the rides are then free. A good days work and further promotion.
