Key Aspects of the franchise
Social Business
BounceOT franchisees are profit-focused entities, but their social aims always come first when we make decisions about the services that they provide. They never profit before the needs of individuals!
The BounceOT Brand
Our brand is distinctive, and recognisable and represents everything we stand for. BounceOT will help you reach your goals and enable you to work with a wide range of stakeholders. It’s a substantial market that offers plenty of opportunities.
The BounceOT Website
We aim to make it as easy as possible for any stakeholder to look at our services and engage with us. We use the website to promote our franchise units to help them become as successful as BounceOT Stirling CIC is!
Systems & Operating Manuals
Everything we do in the business has been carefully detailed and is contained in the BounceOT Franchise Operations Manual. The induction training programme provided to new franchisees is based on this manual and all of our franchisees have access to help them in their day-to-day operations.

Franchisees will need to establish links with local authorities, schools, adult learning disability day centres, and more, which we will assist with.

We provide a comprehensive induction training package to all franchisees to enable you to establish your own business successfully. It covers all aspects of the business, including service delivery, management and funding sources.

A Message from Callum MacKinnon
Hi, I’m Callum MacKinnon, Founder and Executive Director of BounceOT.
I started BounceOT in 2017 as a part-time project during my final year of university, at just 23 years old, to gain experience in the field.
Since then, it has grown into a fully operational, award-winning social enterprise that supports children and adults with disabilities. More recently, I established BounceOT Group Ltd to oversee our social replication and franchise expansion efforts.
If, like me, you are passionate about making a positive lasting impact on the lives of individuals with additional needs, the BounceOT franchise could be the perfect opportunity for you. Remember, you don’t need to be a registered Occupational Therapist to become a franchisee!
Callum MacKinnon,
Founder and Executive Director
