A background in education is a strong plus but an ideal candidate for a Positive Ally Learning Center® franchise does not necessarily need to have experience as a teacher or administrator to join our system. Neither does s/he need prior entrepreneurial experience. An ideal franchisee will be hands-on and will love working with students and their parents. Prior experience in problem solving and leading a small team is helpful, but overall, we seek candidates who are passionate about helping students develop leadership skill, are charismatic with strong ability in sales and customer service.
The ideal franchisee will have a minimum net worth of $500,000 and minimum liquid assets of $100,000.
