Why education franchising remains a great investment
It lets Children, be Children
The rollercoaster of the last few years 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 were taken away was profound. As we returned to normality, the clamour to get children back to being children was 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 decade mean a spending boom is expected 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
As technology develops it becomes an ever common part of our children’s lives. The constant battle against more “screen time” is real!
This part of the industry is a perfect antidote, forcing phones to be put away and children to exercise minds and bodies and to forge new friendships.
Education is exportable
British education is seen as a badge of excellence around the globe. The children’s franchise sector no less so. It’s a highly developed and competitive sector that is in high demand in countries all over the World. A time to diversify your markets to seek new opportunities perhaps Franchisors?
It’s a growth sector
With amazing brands - simple fact!
