Opening An Education Franchise

Reasons for opening an education franchise and which to consider

- Matthew Flynn

One of the key aspects of successfully opening a franchise is to make sure you have a degree of expertise in the industry. Aspiring franchisees should think about their strengths and passions and look for franchises that are centered in those areas. To some, the best way to take full advantage of one’s knowledge is to open an education franchise where they can share their knowledge and passion with others — and make some money doing so.

ADVANTAGES OF OPENING AN EDUCATION FRANCHISE

Education franchises are unique in a few ways which many franchisees could find advantageous. Primarily, there is typically a lower cost to open such a franchise. Some franchises — such as Above Grade Level and Tutor Doctor — teach students in their homes, so franchisees don’t have to worry about the money or time spent opening a location.

Another advantage is that education franchises can be more fun than other types of franchise. Whether tutoring K-12 students or sharing a hobby, most education businesses allow for thinking outside the box and presenting material in novel ways that are more interesting for both student and teacher. Even the branding can be more fun. Mad Science and Young Rembrandts are two franchises that show that having fun with branding can attract both students and franchisees.
