Children industry analysis

While many brick and mortar children’s franchises were forced to temporarily close during the recent pandemic, online businesses saw a dramatic increase in customers. The analysis shows online learning businesses saw a peak in revenue in 2020, as many people used online courses, tutoring and play-based learning to aid homeschooling or to simply keep their children entertained. This corner of the market has the ability to weather, and indeed thrive, during economic storms.

Experience of working with children is not necessarily a requirement, though it might be in some areas or indeed, will be looked upon favorably. Potential franchisees should be passionate about child development and feel confident about the positive impact the franchise plays in a child’s life.

Children’s franchises can be home-based and offer flexible working hours. Lots of franchisees have children themselves and so the businesses are geared around a good work/life balance. You can enjoy being your own boss whilst leaning on the wealth of experience, support and access to high-quality teaching materials and methods the franchise has to offer. Operating under a recognized brand name will also draw in loyal customers. Parents want to feel confident they are entrusting their money, and children, to a highly competent business with a reputable track record.

This is a sector that has a positive societal impact. The work can be hugely inspiring and rewarding, whilst also being a stable and successful business model.
