Focus on the experience.
We'll handle the rest.
Running a sauna is more than lighting the fire. Policies, insurance, software, suppliers, staffing, accounting. We've built the framework so you don't have to start from scratch.
Get in touchA proven model.
Ready to go.
The behind-the-scenes work of running a sauna business takes up a lot of time that could be spent in the sauna. We've spent years building the systems, relationships, and processes so that our partners can skip straight to the good bit.
Policies & procedures
Full staff and operations policies, plus risk assessment templates ready to adapt for your site.
Operational tooling
The booking platform, payments system, and operational software we use to run our own site, set up for you.
Events framework
A ready-made framework for running sauna rituals, special events, and community sessions from day one.
Staffing support
Guidance on hiring, role structures, and training so your team gets up to speed quickly and safely.
Insurance support
An introduction to our insurance broker and support putting together a risk assessment that works for your site.
Accounting partner
An introduction to the accounting partner we work with, familiar with the sauna and wellness sector.
Sauna partners
Introductions to our trusted sauna suppliers and leasing partners, with the benefit of our existing relationships.
Marketing & reach
A listing on our website, social media support, and access to our influencer and PR network from launch.
Built on something real
Everything we offer our partners comes from what we have actually learned running our own operation.
Proven model
Over 140 five-star reviews and a community built from scratch in under a year. We know what works.
Bookings from day one
Negotiated rates on our booking and payments platform. Included within your franchise fee.
No upfront fee
No franchise fee to get started and no mark-ups on anything we arrange or source on your behalf.
Your own identity
Your own branded email, your own booking link, your own page on our site. You Can Sauna at your location.
You get our people,
not just our playbook.
Every partner gets direct access to the people who built this. No account managers, no handoff. That includes free consultancy from Jake and Yussef throughout your setup and first season.
Jake
Operational expertise drawn from years managing a care home — staffing structures, compliance, daily operations, and the kind of relentless attention to detail that running a venue well actually requires.
Yussef
Seven years in finance gives him a sharp understanding of business models, strategy, and financial management. He will help you think clearly about your numbers, your structure, and your long-term position.
Two ways to work with us
Both options include our full brand, booking system, and marketing support. No upfront franchise fee, and no mark-ups on anything we procure on your behalf.
