What you invest, what it covers, what it does not, how the revenue works, and how long our partners take to recover it. No vague ranges.
A Shanti Juniors preschool franchise needs a total investment of 10 to 15 lakhs, plus a space of 2000 to 2500 sq ft. The exact figure depends on your city and centre size, since fit-out costs more in a metro than in a smaller town. That investment covers the brand fee, centre setup and interiors, furniture, learning material, training and launch marketing. Rent, staff salaries, local licences and working capital sit outside it, and we tell partners that upfront. Most centres open within about 45 days, and well-run centres aim to recover the investment within about 2 years, though returns depend on how the centre is run and are not guaranteed.

Our franchise team helps you build this second budget before you sign, not after. Partners who plan only for the setup feel the squeeze in month three, which is exactly when the centre should be focused on admissions.
The model is simple, which is part of why it works for first-time owners. Revenue is the number of children enrolled multiplied by the fee, collected term by term through the year. There is no stock to hold and no inventory risk. Costs are largely fixed, mainly rent and salaries, so once fee collection covers those, most of each additional admission flows through. That is why we put so much of our support into the first two admission seasons.
We also classify partner centres into 100, 200 and 300 clubs based on admissions, so you have a clear target to build towards and can see where your centre stands against others in the network.
Most well-run centres aim to recover their investment within about 2 years. We will not promise a fixed number, because the outcome depends on four things, the location you pick, the fee you set for your market, how fast admissions build, and how well you retain children year on year. Retention matters more than most first-time owners expect. A child who stays from playgroup through senior KG is three or four years of revenue from a single admission.
Returns are not guaranteed and depend on how the centre is run. What we commit to is the training, curriculum, marketing support and admissions help that make the climb shorter than it would be on your own.
Starting alone usually costs less on day one and more across the first two years, because you fund every mistake yourself. Here is the honest comparison.
| What you pay for | Your own preschool | Shanti Juniors franchise |
|---|---|---|
| Brand fee | None | Included in the investment |
| Curriculum | You build or buy it | I-Cube, provided and updated |
| Teacher training | You arrange and fund it | Part of the package |
| Setup guidance | Trial and error | Our tested 45 day process |
| Marketing | Fully your cost | Brand plus launch support |
| Time to first admission | Usually longer | Faster, the name is already known |
