Sports are an important outlet for kids. Here’s how we’ve adjusted our business model to meet today’s challenge.
Everything is still in play
We believe sports are essential for children, and to that end, ours is an essential business. What we have done is respond to the pandemic by implementing new safety protocols for our athletes, spectators and employees. Those protocols include smaller teams, disinfecting of the equipment, smaller spectator crowds and social distancing. We’re encouraged by the response, and we’re continuing with our plans to expand.An easier way to start your business
A lot of entrepreneurs who want to start businesses hit pause this spring and summer to see how the pandemic would impact the economy. After a sharp, but brief downturn during mandated shutdowns, the economy has been in a strong recovery. We’re confident enough in our business model — and passionate enough about our youth sports mission — to offer a five-year purchase option to qualified candidates. The five-year purchase option offers you the opportunity to ease the financial load. Money has shifted for many people during the pandemic. But as a business that puts franchisees first and has for nearly 20 years, we understand that a temporary shift in your available funds doesn’t define you as an entrepreneur. Here’s how the five-year plan works: Instead of paying your $24,900 franchise fee in one lump sum, the franchise fee will be paid through a flat monthly fee of $500 over a five-year period. That’s slightly less than the average monthly car payment, according to Cars.com. In addition, the five-year purchase option offers several advantages:- Streamlining and accelerating the financial approval process.
- Enabling franchisees to put less money down, reducing their total startup costs to as little as $36,500, according to our Franchise Disclosure Document.
- Providing franchisees more financial flexibility in the crucial start-up period.
