School Franchise Or Own School - What is the Best Option

'Is it better to start own School or take a Franchise?'

It is one of the major questions, most of the school consultant service providers come across. The reality is there is no specific answer for this question. Based on the investment and vision, a franchise can be a good option for some, while the own brand is the more viable option for others.

If you look at leading brand names in the education industry like DPS, you might get lured towards the school franchise opportunities. The brand has created a strong value for itself and helped many investors realize their dreams. There are a number of factors you need to consider while deciding between own school and franchise.

Franchise route:

To choose between own school and franchise; first analyze the pros and cons of both the options. Let’s have a look at benefits of A franchise?

1. Less investment is required to start a school.  

2. You can get an expert support with proper school consultancy and guidance from the brand.  

3. A Proper teacher training and hiring process is explained, to help new entrants.  

4. You don’t have to spend time and energy on designing the curriculum.  

5. You have to put less effort to establish the brand, as it is already a well-known name in the education industry.  

6. It helps you get immediate visibility and recognition. 

These are some of the benefits of opting for a franchise over own name. But it has some pitfalls also. With an already established name you will have to follow the same pattern the school follows, which might not be suitable for every location.

Can the teaching methodology used in a Delhi based school be suitable for students in Mumbai? No, the school staff needs to plan things according to the location, which is possible only with own school.
