Making a career change or starting a new education franchise business can seem a daunting thing to do. But when you’re making a new start with an education franchise, there are many advantages to running your own business. You’ll be working in a busy and very rewarding sector, all while making a good profit for yourself.

Why join an education franchise?

Joining an education franchise means combining both rewarding and profitable work. And, as franchising is often seen as one of the safer ways to run a business - only one percent of closing franchises cited commercial failure as the reason for doing so [British Franchise Association] - you know that you’ll be able to enjoy many of the biggest benefits of running a business, while minimising many of your risks.

Joining a franchise will help give you:

• Plenty of job and income security
• The benefits of working with an already established business reputation
• Extensive training and support before and after you open
• Beneficial financial rates
• The ability to run your own business
• The ability to choose your own schedule and working practices

There are so many benefits to running an education franchise, but how do you choose the right franchise for you? The full package of benefits will vary a little depending on the size, location and franchisor that you choose to work with, but you might find any of the below a good option.
