Existing Franchise Resale Opportunities

Buy an Existing Athena Franchise Territory
Why Purchase an Established Franchise?
At The Athena Network, we plan for success from day one. During the first induction training with every new franchisee, we discuss their exit strategy. Why? Because building a business with resale value in mind creates a valuable asset that rewards you richly in the future.
When a franchisee decides to sell their territory, it’s bittersweet – we’re excited for their next chapter but sad to see them go. What never changes is our commitment to supporting both the outgoing and incoming franchisee through the transition, ensuring continuity for the members who have invested in The Athena Network.
Athena resales are rare. Many of our Regional Directors have been with us for over 19 years, a testament to the strength of our community, the joy of the work, and the value of the business they’ve built. When an opportunity does arise, it’s a chance to step into a well-established territory with a loyal membership and immediate revenue potential, something truly special within our network.
Benefits of Buying an Existing Franchise Territory

- Make accurate financial projections from the start
- Enjoy stable income immediately
- Reduce the financial uncertainty of a startup phase

While new franchise territories come fully equipped with everything needed to launch an Athena business, an existing franchise offers even more:

- Established processes and workflows
- Reduced initial setup costs and time investment
- Skip the startup phase and begin operating immediately

Investment in an Existing Territory
The value of an established Athena Network franchise territory reflects its proven success and existing revenue. Resale prices exceed our current territory investment of £16,500 + VAT.

- Current membership numbers and revenue
- Territory growth potential
- Established systems and processes
- Local market reputation

CURRENT RESALE OPPORTUNITIES
Athena communities are led by women who feel called to this work.
Resale opportunities are rare and arise only when a Regional Director’s circumstances change. When they do, they offer a unique route into The Athena Network: an established region, an active membership, and a community already in place. The business is built. The territory is yours.
NE OXFORDSHIRE – Our Regional Director Liz is stepping down due to personal family reasons. This is a thriving, well-established region with an engaged membership community, currently being looked after in the interim by Sophie Watson, our Regional Director for SW Oxfordshire. A wonderful opportunity to step into a region with strong foundations and active members already in place.
NORTH HAMPSHIRE – Our Regional Director Karen Fowler currently runs two successful territories and, as she begins to plan towards retirement, has made the decision to sell one of them. This is a fantastic opportunity to take on an established region with an active and engaged membership base already in place.
ENQUIRIES: For all enquiries about the current territories available for resale please email Athena Head Office for more information
