Children’s Activity Provider Franchises
One of the most vibrant parts of the Franchising industry - the number of Franchises catering to children has increased at an astonishing rate, and shows no sign of stopping. There are now options ranging from language classes for little ones, dance & performing arts, every sport imaginable… through to extra curricular tutoring and kindergartens.

Having been part of the leadership team of some of the World’s finest franchises, our experience spans both Operations and Development.

Why education franchising remains a great investment
It lets Children, be Children
2020 has taught us many things - the importance that education and extra-curricular activities play in the mental health of our Children, and the impact to them when they are taken away has been profound. As we return to normality, the clamour to get children back to being children will be equally profound.
Parental spending on Education
Even in a recession the last thing that parents will consider cutting their expenditure on is their children, and particularly their education. The unique circumstances of this year mean a spending boom is expected for 2021 as the World reopens. We know that parents are desperate for their children to get back out and experience, our concepts are ideal for this.
Digital Fatigue
Many franchisors that I have spoken to in this space have responded quickly to the need to offer an online alternative as classrooms close. This has been effective, but for most activities it is simply not a long term solution either financially for the franchisor, or for our customers in terms of quality. The positive to this is that the pent up demand for parents to get their kids back out into activities is enormous - as things open up again, and they will, good quality education franchises are going to see a huge upsurge in demand.
Education is exportable
Covid is affecting the World. However not all countries have suffered to the same extent - and some have done extraordinarily well in combatting the virus. Asia and Australasia are particularly well set to lead the global rebound - these are amazing markets for education and one where American and European brands are sought after and hugely respected. A time to diversify your markets to share the risk perhaps Franchisors?
It’s a growth sector
With amazing brands - simple fact!
