"We’re running at about mid-fifties property-wise, and our goal in the next couple of years is to get to one hundred. I don’t think we could have grown our business as quickly as we have without Pass the Keys.” – Vicky & Andy, Franchisees

 Successful Pass the Keys franchisees come 
from a wide range of backgrounds

Successful franchisees include former executives, entrepreneurs, and partnerships. Franchisees don’t shy away from hard work – but they expect it to lead somewhere big.

• Growth-minded: you’re driven to scale beyond managing 50 properties
• Commercially experienced: you’ve led teams, run a P&L or owned a business
• Decisive and energetic: you don’t wait for permission; you make things happen
• People-focused: provide great hospitality and happiness to local visitors.

"I work with all of the franchisees to make sure they are successful from the point of training onwards. I've got personal experience working in property, having managed around 80 apartments myself. I work with them and teach them everything I’ve learned.”   Hanna, Franchise Success Manager
