There are many decisions that go into whether to purchase a franchise, a major one of which is cost. Fortunately, <a href="https://sylvanfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-much-does-it-cost-to-open-a-sylvan-learning-a-corporate-team-member-and-franchisee-break-down-the-cost-and-the-rewards-2711994" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sylvan Learning</a> offers competitive rates and fee structures for its franchise system that set it apart in the supplemental and enrichment education space.&nbsp;&nbsp;The start-up costs for a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning">Sylvan Learning</a> range from $68,680 to $159,085, which includes the initial franchise fee of $24,000. Prospective franchisees must have a minimum liquidity of $75,000, as well as a minimum net worth of $150,000.The cost range is due, in part, to the type of license a franchisee can purchase. Sylvan Learning offers three different licenses. The Core License, which is the brand’s main product offering, which comes with a protected territory. The STEM “Edge” License includes coding, robotics, engineering, science and math. The “Ace It!” License provides franchisees with the necessary resources to offer institutional or contract services to local schools.&nbsp;“Sylvan Learning offers franchisees many financial incentives,” Vice President of Finance Jacob Jones said. “Our franchise fee is less than those of many of our competitors in order to attract the next generation of entrepreneurs. We also offer a discounted franchise fee to veterans.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, when it comes to royalty fees, Sylvan Learning only collects 16% of monthly gross revenues which is all inclusive. “Our royalty fee structure is one of the most competitive in the franchising industry,” Jones said.&nbsp;The start-up costs of a Sylvan Learning franchise can also depend on its location.&nbsp;“Location can definitely affect the overall cost,” Jones said. “Fortunately, Sylvan Learning offers real estate support to franchisees who need help finding a prime spot for their centers.”&nbsp;With more than 750 franchise locations across North America, not to mention 40-plus years of experience, Sylvan Learning stands out as a leading supplemental and enrichment education brand with a history of proven results. One major brand differentiator for Sylvan Learning is its proprietary software, SylvanSync™. SylvanSync™ lessons, which are done on an iPad, are based on data from that particular student’s performance in previous lessons, providing an unparalleled personalized learning experience that combines technology with a personalized touch. This strong commitment to children’s educational enrichment at every level within the organization helps set the brand up for continued growth.One Sylvan Learning franchisee thriving with the brand is Nizar Bhulani. Bhulani <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/sylvan-learnings-strong-discovery-day-helps-candidates-decide-to-officially-join-the-franchise-system-2708556#brand-latest-stories">owns and operates five centers in the Dallas market with his cousin Fayzan Keshwani</a>.&nbsp;The cost of a Sylvan Learning franchise has influenced their decision to expand.&nbsp;“A Sylvan Learning franchise is less expensive to open than other children’s supplemental education brands,” Bhulani said. “Also, the opportunity to recoup money is slower at other brands. With Sylvan Learning, the opportunity is much bigger. You have a better ROI compared to other franchise brands out there.”&nbsp;The number one reason for this better ROI, Bhulani said, has to do with the fact that Sylvan Learning centers are open more often.&nbsp;“Our centers are open five, six and sometimes even seven days a week,” Bhulani said. “We are open anywhere between 55 to 70 hours a week, which is more than some of our competitors, so the opportunity to make more revenue is higher.”&nbsp;Sylvan Learning also specializes in offering <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/now-that-school-is-back-in-full-swing-here-are-4-ways-in-which-sylvan-learning-uses-supplemental-tutoring-to-personalize-a-childs-learning-path-2710976#franchisor">a variety of supplemental education opportunities to help personalize a child’s learning path</a>.&nbsp;“We offer supplemental education for reading and math, but we also offer study skills and homework help, as well as STEM, coding, labs and more,” Bhulani said. “We also use our centers as a resource for school contracts. The opportunity to generate more revenue is higher with Sylvan Learning than a lot of the smaller franchises out there.”&nbsp;Bhulani and Keshwani definitely plan to continue growing their Sylvan Learning footprint.&nbsp;“One of the reasons why we’ve constantly looked toward growth <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/sylvans-leadership-team-discusses-what-makes-franchisees-win-2710333#franchisor">is the corporate team</a>,” Bhulani said. “We love the folks at corporate. They have an open-door policy to talk about any issues you’re having, from your Franchise Business Consultant to the CEO. We can write an email to anyone and expect an answer within a couple of hours.”&nbsp;The growth potential of the brand is directly linked to the value it provides for communities. Our locations offer families a high-quality supplemental educational service that often yields tangible results.“Families come into our centers and talk about how much their child has grown since they started tutoring,” Bhulani said. “Sylvan Learning allows us to give back to families on a daily basis, which is why we want to continue growing with the brand.”&nbsp;The startup costs for a Sylvan Learning center range from $68,680 to $159,085. The franchise fee is $24,000.
