Why pay fees?

Fees are an extremely important part of any franchise system, as they provide the critical infrastructure you need to succeed.

Your fees pay for things like advertising - upkeep of websites, social media posts, Google Adwords and SEO, the call centre, IT infrastructure, National and State offices etc. And with Jim's ethos of "putting franchisees first," this translates into a strong support and knowledge base, which provides you with the resources and capabilities to run a professional and effective business.

Training

After your initial interview you will be invited to have one of our franchisees call you to discuss the logistics of owning a Jim’s Jumping Castles and Party Hire franchise and the journey of building your own business. You may also be offered to go out with a franchisee to see Jim’s Jumping Castles and Party Hire in action!

All new franchisees are provided with a 3-day intensive training course at the Jim’s Group Head Office in Melbourne. This covers all main business, sales, administration, and legal aspects of your franchise business.

After you complete your 3-day training, signed your contracts and exchanged funds – this is when the fun begins! You will take stock of your equipment and begin additional training to learn the basics of how to inflate and deflate the castles as well as learning the art of fairy floss making, how to make the best slushies and the freshest and best tasting popcorn.

Skills

What we require is for you to be hard-working, self-motivated and someone willing to follow the Jim’s System, with a certain level of business acumen and high regard for safety and risk analysis. We will teach you everything else you need to know. Given how physically demanding the job is, a certain level of fitness and stamina is also required.
