Flexible hours suit franchisee Travis Barker who began operating his Lynn’s Learning business in April last year.
When he was searching for a franchise opportunity, there were three questions uppermost in his mind:
- how quickly could he make a profit?
- what would be the initial investment into the franchise system?
- would he have a flexible lifestyle?
When he came across the Lynn’s Learning franchise Travis recognised the system fulfilled his requirements, allowing him to concentrate on other commitments during the day while still earning an income.
“Not only am I able to run my lifestyle the way I want, I also get all school holidays off; which allows me to go camping with my partner and dog more often, and travel overseas!”
The Melbourne based education and training business founded in 1990 provides maths and English tuition to children through from prep school to high school and is geared to developing a child’s enthusiasm for learning, their classroom-confidence and self-esteem.
In turn, franchisees need patience, enthusiasm and the energy to bring out a child’s potential.
exceeding expectations.
Travis found setting up his franchise was a simple and stress-free experience thanks to the training program provided to ensure franchisees are comfortable with the business start-up. And the training continues with ongoing learning and support on offer as the business develops.
“The fact that Lynn’s Learning kick starts you with an advertising campaign is a huge added bonus. I had students from day one of operation,” says Travis.
And the results so far have been rewarding, with the business exceeding his expectations.
“Experts told me to expect to make a loss on my business in the first two to three years. However, I have been able to not just break even, but make significant profits in my first six to nine months.” Travis says.
