01Consulting
Site & catchment consulting
We look at the catchment around your candidate site and the right number of courts with you. Investment figures come in writing, alongside our disclosure document.
FRANCHISE
Start a padel business with people who have already done it
Padel Society is not a consultancy. We opened the centre, filled it with members, ran the leagues, and operate the app and the equipment distribution ourselves. We've turned that whole process into a system and hand it over intact.
- We run our own centre in Gimpo
- Sole NOX distributor for Korea
- Playus, our own app
Our franchise disclosure document is under registration review. Until it is registered, we do not sign franchise agreements or accept any payment.
MARKET TIMING
Why padel, and why now
A racket sport growing fast, led by Europe, in a Korean market that is only just getting started.
Europe-led
A fast-growing racket sport
Padel is a racket sport growing fast, led by Europe. It has already overtaken tennis in Spain, and courts are going up in the Middle East and Southeast Asia too.
Early market
Korea is only just starting
There are still very few padel courts in Korea. It's an early market that people are only just discovering.
4 players · 2 courts
Small footprint, four players
Two padel courts fit in the footprint of one tennis court, and four people play on each court.
30 minutes
Low barrier, wide audience
Someone who has never held a racket can rally within 30 minutes. That opens it up from 20s–30s looking for something active, to 40s–50s clubs, to juniors.
ONE-STOP SOLUTION
Getting the courts in is not the end.
For us that's where it starts
From site consulting to running the community: six stages we have worked through at our own centre, transferred as a single system.

02Supply
Court supply · NOX equipment
Rackets, balls and accessories come through us as NOX's sole distributor for Korea. Head office imports and supplies the courts, and installation is managed together with the manufacturer's technicians and installers.
03Training
Pre-opening & staff training
We train your coaches and managers through the PSA certification course, and design your opening promotion and first member drive with you.
04Systems
Playus as your operating system
Court booking, membership, payments and social matches run on Playus, the app we built ourselves. The related fees are set out in our disclosure document.
05Content
Academy & content transfer
The PSA standard curriculum, the PAR rating system, and the league and tournament playbooks transfer as-is, so you can run academy and league programmes from day one.
06Community
Building the community
The Padel Community on Naver Cafe and Padel Society leagues and tournaments give members a reason to keep coming back. This is a community business, not court rental.
Franchise terms and investment figures come with our disclosure document, in writing, with their basis.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions prospective owners ask most. Anything else, just bring it to the consultation.
Can I do this if I know nothing about padel?
Yes. Owner onboarding — padel basics plus day-to-day operations — is part of the process, and head office helps you hire and train your first coaches. That said, owners who play themselves do tend to find the community side easier.
How much space do I need?
Indoors, roughly 200㎡ (20m × 10m) per court plus circulation space, with a ceiling height of 6m or more recommended. How many courts to start with depends on the site and budget, and we work that out together in the consultation.
What's the investment?
It varies too much with court count, lease terms and indoor vs outdoor to give one number. We set it out in writing, with its basis, alongside our disclosure document. Before then, we'll walk you through what drives it: court count, indoor vs outdoor, new build vs conversion, and lease terms.
Can I convert an existing tennis or screen-golf facility?
Yes, it can be considered. Two padel courts fit in one tennis court's footprint. Whether it works depends on the site, which we'd look at together.
What do I pay head office?
All costs, including the franchise fee, training fee and ongoing franchise fees, will be given to you in writing in our disclosure document once it is registered.
