What do we do?

We are an elite matchmaking and introductions agency working with affluent, discerning, successful, busy professionals offering an offline elite matchmaking and introductions service to help them find love in a safe, secure, and confidential manner.

We specialize in having a deep understanding of our clientele so that we can facilitate hand-selected introductions to other single, like-minded people who have the same lifestyle, values, and aspirations as they do.

Our ultimate goal is to help them find a long-term committed relationship with the right person, without having to navigate all the perils of the modern dating scene alone. No stress, no time-wasting, and no apps, no swiping, no internet profiles – just a multi award-winning service designed around making meaningful connections.

Is this the opportunity for you?

As one of our “Angels,” you will be helping rewrite the rules of the dating industry. You’ll be a matchmaking head-hunter for your clients, adhering to the highest possible standards of professionalism and ethics, while still being friendly and approachable.

We are seeking talented, dedicated, highly motivated people to join us to provide a localized and personal service, bringing your understanding of where your clients are based and the types of people within that locality.

We are confident that our tried-and-tested business model will enable you to build a successful business anywhere in the UK as part of an industry which is incredibly rewarding, professionally and personally.

Unlike the majority of other dating agencies in the UK, our matchmakers have completed training and been accredited by the Matchmaking Institute.

The key benefits are:

• A recession-resilient industry
• A people-centric business
• Learning from the very best and respected in the industry
• Better work-life balance
• Make a real difference to people’s lives

Are we a match?

There is no one set profile for who makes a great candidate for us. Our current matchmakers have come from all kinds of backgrounds and this is a big part of why we are so successful.

Our training and mentorship will teach you everything you need; however, we have found that there are certain skills and attitudes which are absolutely essential in this industry:

• Strong transferable skills
• Great listening & communication skills
• Empathetic & insightful
• Professional & ethical
• Hard-working & driven
• A genuine desire to help others

Our Training & Support

Your training includes 3 days online training and certification as a qualified MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) practitioner, and 12 hours modular online Matchmaker certification with The Matchmaking Institute. This part of your training is self-guided, so can take place at any time during your onboarding period.

There are 2 days face-to-face training with the relevant experts from our team, which usually takes place at our head office in London, covering:

• Sales, marketing and lead conversion
• The day-to-day running of your business operations
• The skills of an expert matchmaker

We will also make sure that you understand and our ethics and core values: our professionalism and outstanding service, as well as our style and passion for the job, which are a huge part of why we are so successful and what makes us stand out from the competition.

We’re 100% committed to giving you as much support as we possibly can.

You can secure your place with us for the initial franchise fee of just £15,000 plus VAT; the total investment in your franchise is £39,995 + VAT and this gives you:

Funding, for a proportion of the investment, is possible from most major high street banks and there are also some government funded loans which could be available to you; we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

Naturally you will need to factor in having additional working capital available to meet any costs while you are still taking on your first clients; again, we are happy to give you some pointers, but also recommend you seek independent financial advice.

This franchise has great potential to bring you a rapid and substantial return on your investment. Of course, exactly how much you can expect to earn from your franchise will, ultimately, come down to you; the amount of hard work, and commitment you are willing to put in, as well as how well you follow the guidelines and procedures that we lay out for you.

We will give you everything you need to get your franchise up and running, and will continue to support you throughout your partnership with us.
