Private children's centers and kindergartens are gaining more and more popularity due to the fact that there are not enough places in public institutions for everyone. In addition, many parents consider the individual approach in private children's centers to be more successful in raising their children.
Increased demand is fertile ground for developing your own business. But what to do if you have the desire, but no experience? This is where the children’s center franchise enters the “arena.” This is an opportunity to start a business under the curatorial supervision of a well-promoted brand. Investments are also usually required less than usual.
We will talk about what is needed to open a children's center as a franchise. Namely, what advantages and disadvantages does this partnership format have, is it worth working under a brand name at all, and what is needed for this.
Queues for kindergartens are scheduled for years in advance. At the time of 2020, more than 60,000 children aged 3-6 years were waiting to enroll in kindergarten. The queue at the nursery is many times higher - almost 400,000 children!
And what if your child couldn’t get into the group? All that remains is to look for a nanny, give him to his grandparents, or think about a children's center.
Children's early development centers are an alternative to state kindergartens. Providing for children in the center costs much more than in a regular kindergarten. But at this expense you will receive the best living conditions, qualified teachers and a flexible system for educating your child.
A number of requirements are put forward for the construction and equipment of children's institutions. They must be followed, otherwise the establishment will not receive a license.
The main authorities that you need to pay special attention to are Rospotrebnadzor and Gospozharnadzor.
What does a person who purchases a children's center franchise give?
- The down payment (lump sum) is from 500 thousand rubles, and sometimes it is 800 thousand or more.
- Monthly payments (royalties) in the amount of 10-20 thousand rubles, sometimes more. If 10 thousand, then over 5 years the total amount of monthly deductions alone will be 600 thousand. If 20 thousand – 1.2 million rubles. That is, over five years, together with the initial payment, deductions will amount to about 2 million rubles. And after five years, as a rule, the contract requires you to buy the franchise again - albeit at a discount.
- Your freedom. Franchisors are very strict about what a children's center can do and what it cannot do. The introduction of a non-standard course or a non-standard holiday requires approval. Refusal of a franchise entails a large fine, which also amounts to hundreds of thousands of rubles. And personally, it seems to me that it’s somehow insulting to invest energy in the development of someone else’s brand, and not your own.
What can I say to this? Here are my thoughts (and painful questions :))
All the materials that a person receives when purchasing a franchise, paying more than a million rubles in total with monthly payments, can now be bought from us for 300 thousand rubles, or so.
Everything except our brand and promotional materials . But with the money you save, you can attract very cool designers and marketers and develop a very beautiful and personal brand for you. And also buy a lot of good equipment. Or just keep it for yourself. Why do they still ask us for a franchise? Do they want to pay us more money for our brand? I'm certainly not against money
