Children's Franchise Opportunities That Aren’t Kidding Around

There is an abundance of opportunities in the Children’s Franchising Industry for anyone who wants to work with children but not be subject to teaching positions.

Franchising in the children’s industry is a great business opportunity, often overlooked. Each year this industry tutor and supports millions of children with educational material to help them better understand class material and succeed in school. Entrepreneur magazine says that academic and tutoring franchises are great starting points for anyone interested in starting their own business.

While most business owners know that franchising can have some tradeoffs, franchise owners realize they are a proven business model, perfect for entrepreneurs looking to make a name for themselves in the industry and a profit.

Owning a learning center for children is a great way to expand your tutoring or education business in a pre-built manner for success and relatively low cost. The franchise model provides extensive training and support from the Franchisor, the parent company, the franchisee, or the new franchise owner. While some degree of control over your business is lost, the best franchises make for a relatively smooth start-up for new entrepreneurs. The biggest hurdle you will run into will be the initial franchise fee that can be negotiated before licensing any agreements. Understanding the cost franchises need to begin should be your first step. A kids franchise can include many different operations; Mathnasiums, gymnastics, and even a stylized British swim school can be great additions to your school franchise. The opportunities available in the Children's Franchise Industry are great. Whether you're considering daycare or an education franchise, they are trendy and thriving across the board. Other franchise businesses include healthcare facilities, enrichment programs, and even food franchises. Each year, millions of parents put their children through tutoring and educational services provided by franchises. Even if parents are not interested in educational opportunities for their children, this franchise has the added benefit of acting like a child care service, another widely popular service that parents rely on each year.
In 2018 the US Census found over 35 million households with children under 18 use these services offered by franchises. This number has only grown in recent years, adding to the volume of clients reliant on franchise services. If you wanted to expand even further, you could eventually ponder expanding into an international franchise to capture a more significant market share. In 2015, this industry was evaluated at over $45 billion. This is an exciting trend because we have observed even more growth in the last five years. In 2019 the IBISWorld found that these franchises are primed to grow at a rate of 2.4% each year up to $54 billion. These trends are promising, as they show steady growth and a large market that you can take part in.
Opening and running your own franchise is not a task that everyone can handle, but if you love working with children, want a meaningful career, and make a tidy profit, you should consider franchising. If your passion is to help young children while running one of North America's top franchises, take a look at the franchise opportunities offered in your home state today.
