Franchise Process
Thanks for your interest in learning
more about how to open your own franchise. If you want to learn
more about the benefits of becoming an Apple English Network
Franchisee go here. The franchise process is simple and straight
forward:
Application
All prospective Franchisees must fill out an application to be
reviewed before being contacted for an initial phone interview.
A personal meeting will be scheduled for those who qualify.
Contact us for an application form here.
Interview
All qualifying prospective Franchisees are interviewed in at
least two stages: an initial phone interview and, subsequent
to a financial and background review, an in person interview
to make sure we both fit our profiles for a promising Apple
English Network Franchisee and Franchisor. These interviews
are important for both parties to get to know each other and
build the foundation for a long-term successful relationship.
Financial and Background Review
Apple English Network conducts a standard background check and
financial assessment in the Franchisee's home country (as well
as Japan) as prospective Franchisee must have the initial resources
to set up an Apple English Network Franchise. Initial investment
requirements and startup costs for an Apple English Network
Franchise tend to be considerably lower than for other franchises,
and are generally recouped quite quickly once operation begins.
Franchise Agreement and Location Opening
Once the interviews and background checks are completed to both
parties satisfaction, the Franchise Agreement will be offered
and signed, and the search for a location will be begin. Apple
English Network staff will then work with you to find a proper
location and prepare your school for opening.
Initial Training
Once a prospective Franchisee is approved to enter an Apple English
Network Franchise, he or she must successfully complete the
twelve days of training that takes place over a two-week period.
This covers not only the Apple English Network curriculum and
lesson planning, but also business strategies for location
operations. This training and business consultation will be
a ongoing service provided by Apple English Network. See Franchise
