To qualify as a potential Kumon Franchise owner, you'll need to have a net worth of $150,000 and liquid capital of $70,000. The investment, as stated in our Franchise Disclosure Document, ranges from $73,783 to $165,920. and depends heavily on your location. We do offer up to $38,700 in incentives to help cover some of the items needed for your Center. See our Investment & Incentives page for a full list of expenses Kumon covers for you.

Our initial Franchise Fee is $2,000, of which $1,000 is paid as your Training Agreement Deposit Fee. The balance is paid when you successfully complete the Instructor Development Program and sign the Franchise Agreement. There is an additional fee of $1,000 to purchase the materials you’ll need to operate your Center, such as instruction answer books, student achievement tests, student placement tests and promotional posters. The entire, non-refundable Materials fee must be paid when you sign the Franchise Agreement. For more details please visit our Investment & Fees overview.

While that can prove quite valuable, it is certainly not a requirement for becoming a Kumon Franchise owner (though you must have a bachelor's degree). However, it is very important that you have a passion for working with children and believe in our mission of helping them become independent, self-assured and confident leaders of tomorrow. Many of our current owners came to us with some kind of business background, and many have their own children currently or previously enrolled in Kumon

Since each Kumon Franchise is independently owned and does not report its total income to us, we cannot provide a hard number. However, as part of your franchisee training, you'll develop a business plan that can assist you in projecting your revenues and expenses. We also encourage you to talk directly with fellow franchise owners for more information.
