The Venture Story

Venture is widely recognised as the UK’s market leader and the only national brand within the premium portrait market. Our 50 UK studios provide a truly unique service to our customers and our business model delivers great returns. Venture is an award winning franchise concept and represents one of the best franchise opportunities in the UK today. Now we’re ready to take our success story to other parts of the world.

Every Venture tells a story

Every Venture tells a storySince we opened our first studio in 2000, Venture has changed the UK portrait industry forever. Having shaken the industry out of its traditional past, Venture has pioneered the concept of contemporary and stylish portraiture. Our photographic style and unique range of frames and finishes combine with our sales promotion and marketing techniques to create a powerful force in an otherwise unsophisticated market.


Our Brand

Independent portrait studios operate in most countries of the world, so why would you introduce Venture into your country? The answer is simple. It’s the strength of the Venture brand that sets us apart from the rest. As a Venture franchisee, you could benefit from a brand that has been built in the UK over a number of years. One that is undoubtedly the ‘first choice’ portrait brand in the country, recognised by over 40% of our target population.

Our brand is much more than just the sign over the door. It represents our entire approach to our business and our customers. Our values and beliefs about our organisation is the key differentiator between Venture and the rest of the market.

Over 8 years of trading, Venture has established itself as the prominent and pre-eminent high street brand within the UK portraiture market and we already have studios in the USA and Asia.

Venture hasn’t just changed consumer perception of what a family portrait should be; it has totally changed the economics of studio ownership.
