Move the dials to match the diary you have in mind. Every figure is commission before tax, worked out from our founding Memory Catcher's real trading.
Examples, not promisesAn example week built from the dials. Sessions are usually mornings while babies are bright, home visits fit afternoons or evenings, and funeral homes and uploads slot in around them.
Diaries take a couple of months to fill and funeral homes take time to sign, so the first year builds up: about half the sessions in month 1, all of them by month 3, and funeral homes signed one by one until about month 6. The line is commission after running costs, added up month by month, against the start-up cost.

Session takings £250. Our founding Memory Catcher averaged about £267 across her 15 baby group sessions since our card reader went live (15 September to 10 November 2026, taken from the card payments) and £237 across 151 sessions before that. £250 sits between the two.
Commission. Franchise: 40% in person, 20% on kits through your link, 30% on memorial. Part time: 30%, 20% and 20%. Paid monthly, within 14 days of the month end.
Running costs. About 7 prints a session and 2 a home visit at the £3 kit trade price, plus about £100 a month for fuel, phone, insurance and marketing. Before tax and National Insurance.
Hours. Four hours per session, including travel and setting up, one per home visit, plus funeral homes, uploads and admin (8 hours a month franchise, 5 part time).
Memorial. One family a month from each funeral home, on the package you choose. We don't have memorial sales to show yet, so treat it as an extra. Part-time areas are shared with up to ten others, so funeral homes go to whoever builds the relationship first.
Start-up cost. Franchise £3,445 Founders Pricing. Part time £995, VAT included. Interest-free payment plans on both: franchise £995 up front then £245 a month for 10 months; part time £495 up front then about £83 a month for 6 months.
