The Model

How Franchise Licensing Works

A four-stage path from application to a live, broadcast-ready country edition. WLA provides the format - local partners provide everything else.

Stage 01

Apply

Prospective operators submit market and capability details for review.

Stage 02

Diligence

WLA reviews trademark clearance, operator capacity and market readiness.

Stage 03

License

A country licence is issued under the WLA brand and format standard.

Stage 04

Launch

The local edition launches under WLA's production and brand guidelines.

WLA Provides

  • The format bible - competition rules, gameplay mechanics, zone structure
  • Brand standards - visual identity, naming conventions, quality benchmarks
  • Obstacle specifications - custom WLA course designs via confirmed supplier
  • Production standards - broadcast quality requirements and episode structure
  • Ongoing format support and training for local production teams

Local Partners Provide

  • Local production company - they produce the show end to end
  • Broadcaster deal - they secure national TV or streaming rights
  • Local sponsors - they sell their own sponsorship packages
  • Contestants and zone structure adapted to local geography
  • Format licence fee and ongoing royalties paid to WLA
