Our business model
Meet Ashley, a member of our franchise sales team, as she discusses the business model of Travel Counsellors, and how we stand out from the competition.
Our Business Model
We’re the longest-established UK travel franchise, with more travel professionals running their businesses with us than any other. That’s proof that our model works.
How the Travel Counsellors franchise works
- As a full-time business owner, you’ll deliver tailored leisure or corporate travel solutions for your customers.
- With our proven franchise model, you’ll earn uncapped commission—you keep 60%, and we reinvest the remaining 40% back into resources to support your success.
- Take control of your career and become your own boss with Travel Counsellors, the longest-standing travel franchise in the UK.
- Since 1994, we’ve empowered entrepreneurs like you to create bespoke travel experiences while building a successful business.
Trust in our financial strength
It’s reassuring to know that everything you book with Travel Counsellors is financially protected, thanks to our unique Travel Trust.
This unrivalled level of cover holds your customers’ money in reserve, and only releases it to the supplier once they have travelled.
With this level of financial protection, we’ve successfully and seamlessly protected many of our overseas customers when things have gone wrong, such as supplier failure.
Why do we do this? Because we truly care about our customers.
How we make planning a holiday simple
Our booking platform Phenix and the integrated myTC mobile app are game-changers in allowing you to source and book the right holidays for your customers. It offers you the control and freedom to:
- Earn higher levels of commission by creating bespoke travel itineraries quickly and easily
- Filter and select flights, transfers, accommodation and services from a host of trusted travel partners, all on one digital platform
- Wrap everything up with extensive financial protection, giving peace of mind to your customer and delivering a unique travel experience that can’t be bought elsewhere
Or maybe you want to act as the travel agent and book with one of our third-party travel providers? You have complete flexibility to do what's right for your customer.
