5/5 – for anyone needing a company which puts the care and attention into giving you exactly what you want, EFC is the team for you. Their services for managing martial arts schools is second to none with extreme flexibility. Matt and the team are an amazing help. 100% recommended.

It was only when I joined EFC that I realised that I could turn my lifelong passion for Martial Arts into a successful full time business, growing my academy from 100 to 350 members in three years. This would never have been possible without the ongoing support and professionalism of the EFC

For anyone setting up a new martial arts school or even existing ones that want to move their business forward EFC is a must in your path to better business. They are a great team with a very personal service and their business support network is worth its weight in gold. I really can’t recommend them more highly. Particular thanks to Elaine and Matt. Thanks for all your support guys

Deciding to use EFC was one of the best decisions I have made. It has removed a huge amount of administration enabling us to focus on providing great training and service to our members. Thank you to everyone at EFC for the 5-star service that you provide. An amazing team of people who always do their best to help and support the club & are available to provide help and support in club developmental areas. A top team who value their customers and genuinely want schools to do well

Very helpful, open minded and professional. I have used EFC since I started my Martial Arts school. At the start they helped me get all my procedures in place and now they save me having an extra member of staff. Good job guys keep up the good work!”

Think you’re Club’s too small for EFC – then you’re wrong! Fed up with trying to collect cash at every lesson, struggling to pay the hall fee due to inconsistent class numbers? Thanks to EFC all members are now on Direct Debit, consistent cash flow is coming in and a whole heap of knowledge is on hand to help giving us much more time to focus on our classes & students! Would recommend without reservations!

I spent a long time looking for the right software and payment solutions when I was opening my martial arts school. Since joining EFC then they've been the smoothest part of running my business, always happy to help quickly, efficiently and in both a professional but friendly manner. They also have a whole community that they were keen for me to feel like I was a part of, including their annual conference that is likely worth it for beginner and veteran school owners alike. In short - 10/10, I highly recommend.

Muscliffe Karate Academy has been a client of the EFC since 2001. Over that time they’ve helped me grow my school with innovative ideas and practices. They are always quick to respond to enquiries and it is a company of the highest integrity. If you’re serious about growing your school contact them as soon as possible

Brilliant organisation! Very professional and always on hand to answer any questions. They offer clients a great deal of support and i highly recommend them

EFC is the perfect partner to handle all of our club’s direct debit payments. Their staff is super efficient, helpful and flexible to adapt to our constantly changing needs and their commissions and charging costs are very reasonable for the amount of work they do. Highly recommended!

Joining the EFC was the best decision I ever made. They have taken all of the administration, regarding payments, out of my hands and freed me up to focus on other areas of the business. All of the staff I have worked with are efficient, pro-active and professional and I would highly recommend the service to anyone!

Absolutely outstanding service and always there to help! Matt is amazing & Abbey is brilliant! EFC makes our school run smoothly

I have recently started using EFC in the past few months. Matt and the team have helped me massively. EFC have helped relieve a huge amount of pressure from myself which has allowed me to concentrate on teaching. Highly recommend any martial arts clubs to use EFC!

I spent seven years doing manual spreadsheets of student’s payments/pay types/pay dates etc and would send out reminder emails and late payment emails month in month out as I was convinced using a billing company was unnecessary. Earlier this year I’d had enough and made the switch, I literally feel as if a massive weight is off my shoulders. Elaine and the EFC team are so quick to assist with any queries. I don’t even need to check if there is ever a late payment anymore…I AM TOLD! I just wish I’d done it years ago!

I started with one school and now have four schools all run by full-time professional instructors. EFC has been with me every step of the way for over 15 years, helping me to grow my business and develop a deeper understanding of the Martial Arts

We would like to thank you for all of the effort and support that you have given us. EFC have been the cornerstone of our success and we are very grateful. If anybody wants more information we can be contacted through the EFC

By implementing the EFC practices in my school I have seen record growth and retention. I honestly believe that without the EFC I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to open my own full time school. Opening my own full time school has revitalised me and my business

Initially, I was hesitant about moving to a billing company but after speaking to Matt, I felt their friendly and professional approach made me feel comfortable and they could help me with my club goals. I've only recently joined EFC but it's already made a big difference around my collections and offering great advice. I'm starting to feel more professional already and Elaine has been fantastic with getting me set up for my collections. They're always there for advice and really friendly, I couldn't recommend them more highly

A superb organisation which has helped me grow my school without sacrificing moral values. Offering support every step of the way

My association with the EFC for over two decades has been a transformative experience for The Cassar Academy, steering us to the forefront of martial arts education in the UK. EFC’s role in our development has been nothing short of extraordinary, facilitating not only our growth but also the forging of invaluable connections with top school owners worldwide. Matt, the head of the UK team continues to provide outstanding leadership and support, significantly enhancing our operational capabilities. Ian’s development of the Aquila software has been a game-changer for us, streamlining our processes and integrating flawlessly with our website, optimising every aspect of how The Cassar Academy is managed. For any martial arts school owner looking to reach new heights, EFC offers an unbeatable combination of support, tools, and community

I can't say enough good things about EFC and their Management Software! As a martial arts school owner, I was looking for an efficient and reliable solution to handle my billing, and manage my classes and students. EFC delivered beyond my expectations. Their billing services have simplified my financial processes, making it easy to track payments and manage memberships. The software is user-friendly and offers comprehensive tools for scheduling classes, tracking attendance, and communicating with students and parents. What sets EFC apart is their excellent customer support. Any questions or issues are promptly addressed by their friendly and knowledgeable team. Overall, EFC has been a game-changer for my martial arts school. I highly recommend their services and software to any martial arts business owner looking to streamline operations and provide top-notch service to their students

I have been using EFC for over 20 years and l always get good customer service. It's a company always developing to bring new tools for martial art businesses to get better. Highly recommend if you want to grow your martial arts business

Fantastic service! Always working hard for their clients. A great service which includes direct debit collections, management software, marketing, online marketing, instructor training courses, plus more. Highly recommended

Matt and his team are a stellar addition to our team. Their DD collections and CRM system are top rate and I could not run such a professional business without them.
