Tip of the Week

Entrepreneur.com Tip: Sometimes schools aren’t enough. There are hundreds of children who fall behind each year education-wise, and struggle to keep up. This creates a niche market that presents you with a great education business opportunity.

After school learning programs help these children catch up and understand the lessons they’ve been struggling with. Many of the companies that provide these programs offer franchise opportunities.

This business is a labor of love. You should have some experience and interest in education if you want to start this type of business. Other helpful qualities include:

Experience as a teacher (K-12) The desire to help children succeed Patience Motivation to work hard to get your business running Connections at local schools Strong organizational skills Love of children Before you jump into an opportunity, do your research. Find out if there are other after school education programs in your city. See what methods they use to help children, and see if you can find a business opportunity with a company that offers a unique method for helping children learn.

There are several learning programs that franchise, so find one that offers programs that you can stand behind. Compare franchise costs as well, and make your decision based on all comparable factors.
