Child Care

“The children’s franchise sector remains healthy and vibrant and will continue to perform well with steady demand for services coupled with the desire of parents to invest in their children.”

By 2020, children are expected to make up a quarter of the population. Tap into this by owning a franchise business that offers you the opportunity to work with children and young adults.

Health and wellness franchises is a broad category that encompasses some of the hottest segments of the franchise market today.  While gym, fitness or pilates franchises are likely the first that come to mind, we also highlight major market opportunities with weight loss franchises and massage franchises. There are others under this umbrella, but these three categories alone represent north of $95 billion:

  • $24 billion in gym and fitness franchises from the International Health and Racquet and Sportsclub Association

  • $60.6 billion US Weight Loss market, according to MarketData Enterprises independent research

  • $12.1 billion Massage Therapy market in 2015 according to the American Massage Therapy Association

If you want a career that allows you to work with kids while at the same time be your own boss, look no further than one of the many leading children’s franchises available. While you don’t need any specialized skills to become an owner of most children’s franchises, it definitely helps to have a love of kids.

The typical investment for a children’s franchise is under 150K. The market for services is stable. Demand for services is not sensitive to economic downturns. School systems continue to reduce services and programs for students. Most parents will make financial sacrifices for the benefit of their children. Services like after school tutoring are necessary for some children. Children and their parents will serve as referral sources simply by word of mouth.

Children’s franchise ownership appeals to a broad range of prospects ranging from retired educators, parents re-entering the work force, and individuals looking to make a difference in children’s lives.

Regardless of how an entrepreneur comes to it, the children’s franchise sector remains healthy and vibrant and will continue to perform well with steady demand for services coupled with the desire of parents to invest in their children.
