Take over a franchise or start fresh: which is right for you?

Take over a franchise or start fresh: which is right for you?Thinking about running your own business and making a real impact in your community? At Kumon, you’ve got two exciting options: * **Start from scratch** and build your own centre, or * **Take the reins** of an existing Kumon franchise and hit the ground running. Let’s break these options down below: **Start fresh – establishing a brand-new Kumon franchise** Dreaming of building your own business? When you open a brand-new Kumon franchise, you never tackle this challenge alone. You’ll have access to our full support network and plenty of perks to help you hit the ground running, including: * Rental subsidies for commercial premises to ease that early financial pressure * Commercial signage so your centre looks the part from day one * A **Centre Launch Kit** packed with essentials like worksheets, enrolment kits, learning materials, posters, flyers, business cards, and even an A-frame sign * Marketing subsidies You’ll also benefit from Kumon’s global reputation in after-school education, and ongoing training and support provided by the office from day one. This includes your own dedicated consultant to guide your business growth. And here’s the best part: **It only costs $5,000 to get started**—one of the lowest franchise fees out there. **A turnkey business – purchase an existing Kumon franchise** Prefer to skip the setup and jump straight in? Buying an established Kumon franchise could be right for you. Through purchasing an existing franchise, you’ll be stepping into a ready-to-run business complete with: * An established student base * Brand recognition in the community * A trained team of assistants already in place, should you both decide that you are the right fit for each other And if the franchise you purchase isn’t currently in a commercial space, moving it into one can unlock the same subsidies offered to new franchisees. You’ll still get all the training and personal support we give to franchisees of new centres too. **Heads up:** The $5,000 franchise fee still applies, but the outgoing franchisee will also set a purchase price for the business. That amount varies depending on the franchise, so this option may be better if you’ve got some capital to work with, or you have access to financing. **If you want to make a difference and own your own business while being backed by an international brand, we encourage you to attend our Information Meeting to find out more.** **Sign up [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.com.au/Register) to attend a live Information Meeting in Australia, or [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.co.nz/Register) for New Zealand.** **Or watch a recorded Information Meeting [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.com.au/Register) for Australia, or [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.co.nz/Register) for New Zealand.** **A recruitment consultant will contact you after you join the Information Session to chat about your preferred location and timeline.
