Education franchises: what they cost and what they report

Every Education franchise on this site, compared on the same terms and read from each brand's own Franchise Disclosure Document. Sorted from least to most expensive to open.

56 brands
$209,000 typical cost to open
37 publish earnings figures
6.0% of outlets leave in a typical year

Typical means the middle brand, half above and half below. Cost to open uses the middle of each brand's estimated range. 30 of the 37 brands that publish earnings report a median of annual outlet earnings; the rest report averages, other measures, or a median on another basis, such as per job or per month, and we do not convert any of those into an annual median. The departure rate leaves out brands with fewer than 10 outlets.

A dash means the figure does not apply: the brand has fewer than 10 outlets, or its outlet table could not support the calculation. Each brand page cites every figure to its FDD page.
