A Scalable Global Digital Franchise Opportunity

Kerris Hughes Associates presents an established subscription-based Franchise System built around city-focused online advertising platforms, providing Franchisees with the opportunity to operate a recurring revenue digital business from virtually anywhere in the world.

Seller Financing is available

Since its launch in 2018, the business has expanded into 27 countries, covering more than 200 cities worldwide while building a portfolio of over 480 premium domains. Today, the network supports 65 active Franchisees operating 124 live websites across multiple international markets.

The business has been designed around a transparent and Franchise-friendly structure that includes a one-time Franchise Fee alongside a fixed Monthly Management Fee. Unlike traditional Franchise models, there are no royalty percentages or profit-sharing requirements, allowing Franchisees to retain strong margins and maximize profitability.

The platform enables Franchisees to generate revenue through direct B2B advertising sales to local businesses using a proven online advertising system built for scalability and recurring income.

Business Model

The business combines franchising with digital advertising in a way that is easy to scale. Each website serves as a local hub where businesses can promote their services while franchisees control pricing, outreach, and relationships. Franchisees can operate in single territories or expand into larger multi-city regions, including full-state or country-wide coverage. The model already supports global expansion, with ownership structures in markets like the UK, United States, and Australia, while continuing to grow in new regions.

Advertising contracts range from 1 to 12 months, and payments are collected at the time of booking, which keeps cash flow steady and removes collection delays. Franchisees also pay their fees daily or monthly, creating a consistent income stream for the business.

Franchisees have the flexibility to operate:

• Single-city territories
• Multi-city regions
• State-wide locations
• Country-wide operations

The system already supports international expansion with active operations in markets including the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and additional growing international regions.

Advertising contracts typically range from 1 to 12 months, with payments collected upfront at the time of booking. This structure helps maintain positive cash flow and reduces payment collection delays.

Franchisees also pay daily or monthly management fees, creating predictable recurring revenue for the business.

Operations & Infrastructure

The company operates with an experienced remote team handling:

• Website programming
• Website development
• Design
• Research
• Content uploads
• Technical support

Some team members have been in place for several years, bringing stability and deep knowledge of the system. Daily involvement for ownership involves supporting Franchisees and guiding growth. Most of the heavy lifting is already done, and the business can operate fully remote without the need for office space.

Training & Support

Training is structured and already built out. The Franchise system includes a fully structured onboarding and training process featuring:

• 35 in-depth training modules
• 80 automated onboarding email sequences
• Step-by-step Franchisee guidance
• Technical and operational support

A new owner can expect a relatively short learning curve with full transition assistance available.

Digital Marketing & Traffic

Growth has been driven through a mix of social media, online outreach, and direct communication with potential franchisees. Organic demand and direct selling continue to bring in new advertisers, while the platform itself supports a smooth sales process.

A new owner can introduce a structured sales team or expand existing efforts to increase both franchise sales and advertising revenue across multiple regions at once.

Growth Opportunities

The expansion potential remains significant.

With approximately 200 cities currently covered from an estimated 10,000+ viable global city markets, there remains substantial opportunity for continued Franchise growth and territory development.

Additional opportunities include:

• Direct advertising sales
• Multi-location business campaigns
• National advertising partnerships
• Company-owned premium territories
• International market expansion

There is still a large gap between current reach and total market size. With only around 200 cities covered out of an estimated 10,000 globally, expansion alone presents a major path forward.

Another clear opportunity sits in direct ad sales. The platform supports local, regional, or global campaigns, enabling the creation of a dedicated sales operation that targets businesses across multiple industries.

The seller has also built a system that can support both franchise-led growth and company-owned locations.

A buyer could retain select high-value markets and run direct sales while continuing to sell franchise rights in other regions.
