What is a Children's Franchise?

A franchise is a business where the owner (Franchisor) has already proven the business model works and then grants the right to use their systems and processes to others, known as the ‘franchisees'. Buying into a franchise is a fantastic way to build and grow your own business with a bit of a head start!

The franchisor has already proven there is a market for the business. They have the systems in place to replicate it in other locations. You will also get fantastic support from a franchise. If you would love to own and run your own business but need that helping hand, then a franchise could be the right model for you.

A children's franchise is a franchise in the children's sector. This could be in the children's activity sector or perhaps a childcare business for example. If you are the type of person who is passionate about little people and early years development, but do not necessarily have a business background, then a children's franchise could work for you.
