5 clients to financial freedom: The scalable business model behind Valenta’s world-first AI franchise

Blog

Apr 30, 2025

What if you could launch a business in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, break even with just five clients, and build recurring revenue without needing to manage delivery or hire staff?

It may sound fanciful, but it’s a reality for Valenta franchisees – who we refer to as Managing Partners – who are leading the AI revolution for SMEs across the UK and beyond.

If you’re exploring your next move after a corporate career, or looking for a business opportunity that combines technology, scalability, and long-term profitability, the Valenta model could be the perfect fit for you.

Before we look at how you can rapidly unlock financial freedom with us, let’s have a quick recap of the AI gold rush that is upon us.

Why AI and automation is the business opportunity of a generation

The AI and digital transformation market is currently worth an astonishing $3 trillion – a figure which is only growing larger with time.

At the same time, businesses of all sizes, across every sector, are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, reduce costs, and remain competitive. However, most SMEs lack the knowledge or resources to implement automation effectively.

That’s where Valenta comes in.

As the world’s first AI franchise, Valenta gives ambitious professionals the tools to help SMEs adopt cutting-edge Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and other AI solutions.

This is achieved without Managing Partners needing to build or manage any aspect of the technology themselves. Instead, Valenta’s centralised service delivery team takes care of everything behind the scenes.

This means your role is 100% focused on what matters most: building trusted relationships with decision-makers and identifying where automation can drive results.

You can find out more about why now is the perfect time to invest in an AI franchise in our dedicated article.

How can Valenta franchisees break even with just five clients?

To answer this, let’s quickly break down the maths.

On average, each RPA bot you sell to a client generates approximately £2,500 per month, with a gross profit margin of 50%. Of this, Managing Partners keep 60% – about £800 per month.

That means with just five clients, you could be generating almost £50,000 annually in recurring income.

Factor in our low-overhead model (no office space needed and no staff required to start), and you can quickly see how most Managing Partners reach cash neutrality at this stage.

From there, exponential growth is achievable: every additional client you secure, or RPA bot you add to existing contracts, helps you scale and get you closer to six-figure profitability.

What makes Valenta’s “sticky” services so scalable

One of the biggest advantages of our business model is the recurring revenue structure.

Unlike one-off consultancy jobs, or project-based work, Valenta services are designed to be long-term and “sticky”.

RPA bots integrate directly with clients’ software stack and often become mission critical to their operations. Once implemented, they require ongoing support, updates, and maintenance – in turn creating recurring monthly income for franchisees.

And, as your relationship with the client grows, so too does their appetite for automation.

It’s not uncommon for a client to start with just one bot, before incorporating more and more over time.

This means the value of each client has the potential to grow to £10k+ per month. This gives you even more strong, sustainable income without having to rely on winning new business.

Remember: you do not need to have tech experience to succeed with us

You don’t need to be an AI expert, developer, or automation guru to succeed as a Valenta franchisee.

What you do need, however, is:

  • Super people skills
  • A relationship-first mindset
  • Strong sales or commercial experience
  • A genuine interest in technology and how it can transform businesses

With our centralised team handling all the technical delivery, you will take on the role of a trusted adviser to your clients.

Your role is to understand their business’ goals, spot inefficiencies, and guide them towards RPA solutions that deliver real, measurable impact.

Discover the power of Valenta’s franchise model in action

Valenta franchisees like Michael Sivewright – who is also now our UK Managing Director – are proof of what’s possible with us.

Michael started from scratch in 2021. With no prior AI experience and no initial client base, he hustled, networked, and leaned on Valenta’s support systems.

Within six months, he hit cash neutrality. Today, he supports other franchisees joining the network while running his own thriving business.
