Own and Lead Your Own IOLLA Showroom London is ready. The question is, are you? You're experienced in optics. You understand the industry. Now you're ready for more than employment. We are looking for a Joint Venture Partner in London to open a new IOLLA showroom in the near future, leading our next stage of expansion in the UK's most commercially ambitious retail market. IOLLA is offering a limited number of Joint Venture Partnerships to ambitious optical professionals who want to step into true business ownership with the backing of an independent, founder-led brand. This is an opportunity to co-own and operate your own IOLLA showroom in a priority UK location. Unlike many franchise or independent start-up opportunities, IOLLA's Joint Venture model is designed to be more accessible. With structured support and external funding options, personal capital investment can start from as little as £20,000, depending on location and funding structure. About IOLLA Founded in Scotland, IOLLA designs and manufactures its own frames and lenses, selling directly to customers at transparent, honest prices. We operate seven award-winning showrooms and have served hundreds of thousands of customers. We are independent, design-led and people-first - not corporate, not volume-driven, and not built like traditional multiples. We also run our own manufacturing facility, dispatching every single pair ourselves from our Scottish workshop. We are now expanding across the UK with carefully selected Joint Venture Partners. The Opportunity As a Joint Venture Partner, you will: Co-own and lead your own IOLLA showroom Build and manage your own retail team Take responsibility for local performance and profitability Embed the brand in your community Deliver exceptional customer experience, the IOLLA way You bring the leadership, optical knowledge and ambition.

What's On Offer A proven, vertically integrated business model Founder-led support and partnership Full retail, operational and marketing playbook Access to our product design and manufacturing advantage Ongoing strategic and commercial support The opportunity to build long-term equity in your region Optical retail remains one of the most stable, repeat-purchase categories in UK retail, with predictable demand and strong gross margins.

Who We're Looking For Experienced optical professionals (Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Retail Managers, Optical Assistants ready to step up) Individuals with strong leadership capability Commercially minded and motivated by ownership Community-focused and customer-first Ready to take accountability for performance, people and growth You do not need previous business ownership experience but you do need drive, resilience and ambition. Why London London is scale, pace and diversity. Different neighbourhoods, different audiences but one constant: customers expect quality and clarity. In the right location, IOLLA offers an antidote to corporate multiples and inflated designer pricing. Design-led, transparent and human. For the right entrepreneurial leader, London is high-reward but it demands ambition, resilience and operational excellence. Investment & Commitment This is a capital-backed partnership opportunity requiring personal investment and external funding.

Own and Lead Your Own IOLLA Showroom London is ready. The question is, are you? You're experienced in optics. You understand the industry. Now you're ready for more than employment. We are looking for a Joint Venture Partner in London to open a new IOLLA showroom in the near future, leading our next stage of expansion in the UK's most commercially ambitious retail market. IOLLA is offering a limited number of Joint Venture Partnerships to ambitious optical professionals who want to step into true business ownership with the backing of an independent, founder-led brand. This is an opportunity to co-own and operate your own IOLLA showroom in a priority UK location. Unlike many franchise or independent start-up opportunities, IOLLA's Joint Venture model is designed to be more accessible. With structured support and external funding options, personal capital investment can start from as little as £20,000, depending on location and funding structure. About IOLLA Founded in Scotland, IOLLA designs and manufactures its own frames and lenses, selling directly to customers at transparent, honest prices. We operate seven award-winning showrooms and have served hundreds of thousands of customers. We are independent, design-led and people-first - not corporate, not volume-driven, and not built like traditional multiples. We also run our own manufacturing facility, dispatching every single pair ourselves from our Scottish workshop. We are now expanding across the UK with carefully selected Joint Venture Partners. The Opportunity As a Joint Venture Partner, you will: Co-own and lead your own IOLLA showroom Build and manage your own retail team Take responsibility for local performance and profitability Embed the brand in your community Deliver exceptional customer experience, the IOLLA way You bring the leadership, optical knowledge and ambition. We bring the product, supply chain, systems, brand, marketing and operational support. This is ownership with infrastructure. Not a cold start independent, and not a corporate franchise model. What's On Offer A proven, vertically integrated business model Founder-led support and partnership Full retail, operational and marketing playbook Access to our product design and manufacturing advantage Ongoing strategic and commercial support The opportunity to build long-term equity in your region Optical retail remains one of the most stable, repeat-purchase categories in UK retail, with predictable demand and strong gross margins. This is a genuine entrepreneurial opportunity for professionals ready to move from employed to owner. Who We're Looking For Experienced optical professionals (Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Retail Managers, Optical Assistants ready to step up) Individuals with strong leadership capability Commercially minded and motivated by ownership Community-focused and customer-first Ready to take accountability for performance, people and growth You do not need previous business ownership experience but you do need drive, resilience and ambition. Why London London is scale, pace and diversity. Different neighbourhoods, different audiences but one constant: customers expect quality and clarity. In the right location, IOLLA offers an antidote to corporate multiples and inflated designer pricing. Design-led, transparent and human. For the right entrepreneurial leader, London is high-reward but it demands ambition, resilience and operational excellence. Investment & Commitment This is a capital-backed partnership opportunity requiring personal investment and external funding.

IOLLA is offering a limited number of Joint Venture Partnerships to ambitious optical professionals who want to step into true business ownership with the backing of an independent, founder-led brand.

About IOLLA Founded in Scotland, IOLLA designs and manufactures its own frames and lenses, selling directly to customers at transparent, honest prices. We operate seven award-winning showrooms and have served hundreds of thousands of customers. We are independent, design-led and people-first - not corporate, not volume-driven, and not built like traditional multiples.

This is a genuine entrepreneurial opportunity for professionals ready to move from employed to owner. Who We're Looking For Experienced optical professionals (Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Retail Managers, Optical Assistants ready to step up) Individuals with strong leadership capability Commercially minded and motivated by ownership Community-focused and customer-first Ready to take accountability for performance, people and growth You do not need previous business ownership experience but you do need drive, resilience and ambition. Why Brighton (The Lanes) Brighton is expressive, colourful and individual. It attracts creatives, London commuters, entrepreneurs and families who value personality. The Lanes in particular are built for independents. IOLLA here would thrive on bold acetates, custom tints and community-led events. Customers want eyewear that feels like identity - not uniformity. For the right partner, Brighton offers brand-building with personality. It's not about fitting in, it's about standing out confidently.

We have selected specific priority locations with strong commercial potential. When they are filled, they are filled. Why IOLLA? Because optics can be better. Better for customers. Better for teams.
