About education franchises
Education franchises range from preschools and daycare to tuition and coaching, test preparation, language and computer training, robotics and STEM, skill and vocational courses, and school software partnerships. Some need a building, trained teachers and a full admission season; others are sold to schools from a laptop with no premises at all.
Across all of them, income follows enrolment, and enrolment follows the school calendar, so most of a year's students are won in a few months. The people decide the result: a good teacher or trainer fills batches, and losing one mid-session can empty them. Many brands charge a recurring fee per student rather than a share of revenue.
Check these before you compare brands
- Whether the recurring fee is per student, a share of fees, or both, and what it comes to at the enrolment you can realistically fill.
- Who recruits, trains and certifies teachers or trainers, and what support you get if one leaves.
- The registrations your state requires for this kind of centre, and how the brand's other centres comply.
