How much can I earn as the owner of a Starz franchise?
Earnings as a Starz franchise owner vary depending on the number of school partnerships you establish and the student enrollment within your classes. While we cannot guarantee a specific ROI, our model offers the benefit of consistent recurring revenue through parent-paid tuition and monthly billing. Refer to our Item 19 for more details and averages in addition to reviewing the data below.
● Tuition Rates: Parent-paid tuition starts at $65 per month per student.
● Class Size: Each class is capped at 10 students, with potential revenue of up to $650 per class, per month.
● Teacher Pay: Teachers are typically paid around $25 per class (approximately $100 per month).
● First-Year Enrollment: New owners typically enroll 80-100 students in their first year.
● School-Paid Option: In addition to parent-paid classes, owners may contract directly with schools. Current school-paid rates start at $125 per hour.
This combination of multiple revenue streams— parent-paid and school-paid— creates strong potential for growth while maintaining predictable, recurring income.
Can I hire someone to manage my franchise?
Yes. Many owners begin to release some responsibilities once their franchise is off the ground. If this interests you, our corporate leadership team can guide you in hiring and training a manager to operate your franchise. We suggest being a hands-off owner only after your business is operational and functional.
What are the current industry competitors, advantages, and projections?
The youth enrichment and education industry is a large and growing market, fueled by parents’ increasing desire to enrich their children’s lives while simplifying their own. Key factors include:
● Growing demand: Parents are more aware than ever of the importance of early childhood education, development, and well-being.
● Strong market size: The industry represents a $73 billion total addressable market, reflecting significant and ongoing demand.
● Parental investment: Families consistently prioritize extracurricular programs that build learning, skills, and confidence—often choosing to cut other expenses before reducing activities for their children.
● Resiliency: Even during the 2008 recession, our corporate locations realized a revenue loss of less than 10%, demonstrating the industry’s stability.
How does Starz help children?
Starz helps children develop fundamental skills that build confidence and self-esteem. With these in place, a child is more likely to be on a path to lead a healthier and enriched life. We pride ourselves in being an education-based fitness provider where there is new learning in every class. Our objective is that students leave every class with more knowledge, skills and understanding than they had before. By building skills and nurturing self-esteem, we aim to assist children on the path to success!
How can Starz help schools?
Starz stands out to schools because of the wide variety of programs we offer. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, schools can provide a range of extracurricular activities through one trusted partner—Starz. Starz makes the process seamless by handling all aspects of the program—including equipment, payments, and enrollments. Schools only need to provide space, and we take care of the rest. Parents also value this convenience and variety, often viewing it as a “value add” when deciding where to enroll their child. In fact, we’ve had families specifically ask if Starz is offered before choosing a new school.
How can Starz help parents?
Starz offers the ultimate convenience for families. When children participate in Starz classes directly at their school, parents no longer have to adjust their schedules or transport their children to activities outside of the school day. Starz fits seamlessly into a child’s normal routine—making it easier for parents to balance work, family, and extracurricular enrichment.
What kind of training do I need?
Starz provides online and in-person training upon purchase. This is required of all owners as they begin launching their business. Included in training will be launching your business 101, in-classroom and curriculum guidance, marketing and school partnership support, hiring, training and building a team, and operating back-end systems.
How will Starz support my franchise?
Starz measures our success on YOUR success. We provide initial training, owner’s manual, online training, as well as ongoing support. It’s imperative to us that you are successful. Our current owners can attest to the strong corporate support they are provided.
How do I know if Starz is right for me?
Connecting with local schools and creating partnerships is an essential component of successful Starz franchise ownership.
Our ideal owner is organized, responsize, dedicated, and passionate about enriching the lives of children.
