  • Management model

    The Management Model represents a revolutionary business approach for school entrepreneurs seeking sustainable growth while mitigating initial risks. Launching an educational project, especially a preschool, necessitates both initial capital investment and ongoing operational funding during the early years until the break-even point is reached. This Management Model has been designed with careful consideration of the inherent business risks and the comfort level of aspiring entrepreneurs entering the education sector.
    In this model, smaller entrepreneurs (Associate Partners), not only gain valuable exposure to various business activities such as marketing, financial management, operations, and strategy but also start generating income relatively quickly. This is achieved because the major operational costs are covered by the Management Partner (Brand).
