Franchising Basics. Your Questions Answered

Am I making a commitment by applying?

No there is no commitment in applying. Researching the Young Rembrandts franchise opportunity is a simple but comprehensive process. An application is the first step in gathering basic information for both Young Rembrandts and the applicant. The business development team is there to answer your questions – there is never a commitment in talking to us and learning more about our program.

What are the costs involved in opening a Young Rembrandts?

The Young Rembrandts franchise fee is $31,500. Additional start-up costs are minimal and comprised of standard business equipment such as a home computer. Young Rembrandts is a true home-based business with no real-estate purchases or rentals necessary.

Are there hidden costs?

No, Young Rembrandts does not have hidden costs or profit centers. Young Rembrandts has established relationships with preferred business partners, and does require that some proprietary materials be purchased from our vendors at cost. Classroom materials and basic operational equipment are not purchased through corporate vendors, allowing owners to seek the best prices for their individual needs. Our cost structure is designed for the owner's financial success, and subsequently the success of the system.

Do I have to be an artist to own a Young Rembrandts?

You don't have to be an artist. Our philosophy is that artistic principles CAN and SHOULD be learned and that includes our owners. What we are looking for however, are applicants who:

• Understand the concept that franchising is a TEAM effort – and that you are part of a system of owners who all share a common goal and work together to grow a business.
• Have strong business acumen, and a strong commitment to success.
• Have people and networking skills. This is a managerial model – as an owner you are responsible for managing a staff of instructors and obtaining accounts.
• Are passionate about improving education, making a difference in their communities, and enriching the lives of children.

Where are classes held?

Young Rembrandts is a home-based managerial model. Classes are held in host locations, such as private and public schools, pre-schools and daycare centers, park districts, libraries, and community centers. These are considered "accounts" and franchisee owners are responsible for obtaining and servicing these accounts.

Will I be teaching the classes?

As a franchisee, you are responsible for hiring, training, and managing a staff that will teach the Young Rembrandts curriculum. Your key responsibilities as a franchisee is to train your staff on the proprietary teaching method and curriculum, run the day-to-day operations in managing and growing your franchise, and to maintain the Young Rembrandts level of excellence throughout all of your operations and accounts.
