With
a whole host of fantastic children’s franchise opportunities available
including baby yoga, swimming, cooking, coding and everything in between – it is the perfect time for ambitious
individuals to launch their own franchise business and support children’s
learning and development!
As the number of franchise businesses operating in this sector continues to grow, we explore the factors that make owning a children’s activities business an attractive proposition for new franchisees.
High Demand
First things first, with over 12 million children in the UK there is certainly no shortage of potential customers when it comes to a children’s activity franchise and classes are in demand.
Structured activity classes not only give little ones the opportunity to build confidence and improve social skills but they offer parents the chance to bond with their child, supporting their learning in a structured environment whilst also meeting other parents. These factors mean that parents see real value in these activity classes for their children from a young age.
Furthermore, parents will always prioritise the needs of their little ones and even in times of financial difficulty will spend money on their children, especially when they feel it will enhance their learning and development.
Supported Set up
Setting up a new business is tough and when starting from scratch it can certainly be a daunting prospect. There are a whole host of things to consider; creating a brand, designing a class curriculum, training and documentation and this is one of the major advantages to becoming a franchisee.
Becoming a franchisee gives the opportunity to build a small business but with the support of the franchisor and a community of other franchisees. The business model and processes have been ‘tried and tested’ and are proven to work, meaning that franchises have a higher rate of success than other start-up businesses.
Furthermore, many children’s activities franchises can be launched relatively fast – sometimes in as little as just 4 weeks. With the right training, documentation and guidance it means you can get started quickly and begin earning money straight away!
Low initial investment & flexible
working pattern
Children’s activity franchises provide flexibility. You can ditch the 9 to 5 in order to build a career to suit your personal circumstances which makes it an attractive proposition for parents looking to juggle childcare with running a business.
With this in mind, children’s activities franchises tend to be relatively low cost in comparison with other sectors. They do not often require the purchase of a premises, a large team of staff or expensive specialist equipment and in most cases the franchisee will run the business and also deliver the activity classes for the children.
The low initial investment combined with the ability to launch pretty quickly following training makes buying a children’s activities franchise an attractive and low risk business opportunity for anyone looking to pursue a career whilst maintaining work/life balance around personal commitments.
Keep children active and promote
healthy lifestyle
With many sports-based children’s franchises available in the market, there is an opportunity to really help make a change and improve children’s lives for the better.
Recent NHS statistics show that 32.5% of children are not currently reaching the recommended levels of physical activity each day which is certainly a concerning statistic. Physical activity has countless health benefits for children, not only for health and fitness but also for psychological wellbeing.
Running a children’s sport-based activities franchise gives the opportunity to inspire and excite children from a young age and encourage participation in regular physical activity which can help children maintain a healthy weight to prevent childhood obesity.
Rewarding & Fun
Operating a children’s franchise is full of benefits, not forgetting the fact that it is incredibly fun! Franchisees can build a profitable business doing something that they are passionate about whilst giving children the opportunity to learn new skills. Being part of a child’s learning journey, watching them build confidence and knowledge from the imaginative, fun and engaging activities that your business provides surely makes it one of the most rewarding franchise opportunities available.
One important factor to consider however is the fact that as the children’s activities market continues to grow, it is becoming a highly competitive market and so you will need to remain focussed to stay ahead of competitors. At CYCLEme TOTS we have developed an innovative class curriculum designed to teach children the fundamentals skills of cycling from age 2 upwards through imaginary play. It is our unique program offering combined with fast start-up growth that provides us with a point of difference and an exciting opportunity for new franchisees!
