For most education franchise owners, starting their very own business can be intimidating. Entrepreneurs who want to have a profitable tutoring business need to wear many hats; they should be astute business men and women, marketing geniuses, great at sales and personable enough to foster trust with the families they hope to help. Luckily, this avenue has been explored in the past and there is a wealth of knowledge and experience the new education business owner can draw from.

Hot new franchise? No thank you!

Trends in franchises come and go and jumping on a trend bandwagon is a risky choice. Instead of putting all your eggs into a trend basket that might blow over at any moment, opt instead for an education business that is tried and tested.

The one-on-one tutoring market is growing and there are a number of new companies popping up who want to take advantage of this new wealth. Ensure that you go with a reputable company that has a proven track record. A Tutor Doctor franchise is just the ticket and we are consistently ranked in the Entrepreneur 500. 

In Business for Yourself but not by Yourself

The profitable education franchise is one in which all facets of the business are well taken care of. This is very difficult to achieve when you are working by yourself. Do your research to find a tutoring business that offers support every step of the way.

Your journey should start with training that covers every aspect of your education business from bookkeeping to marketing. You should receive ongoing support as you progress from new tutoring franchise owner to profitable tutoring business.

Ensure that your prospective education franchise comes with an excellent reputation and a wealth of marketing materials so that you can keep your costs down.

Word on the Street

Speak with other tutoring franchise owners in the company before you commit. They are the best source of information on the challenges you will face as well as the efficacy of your franchisor in providing all that you need to succeed.

Getting the inside scoop will help you to make an informed decision and will prepare you for all the challenges that lie ahead.
