- Financial and Background Check
- Kumon conducts a standard background check and financial assessment for prospective franchisees. Your financial assessment is done to make sure you can meet the financial obligations required for the initial investment and startup costs, which tend to be lower compared to other types of franchises. Potential franchisees must successfully satisfy our background check requirements by obtaining and submitting to us the results of a criminal background check and vulnerable sector search.

- Initial Training
- Once approved, you will complete two four-day segments of classroom training. During the nine weeks in between the two classroom trainings, you will complete additional hands-on training. The training covers not only the Kumon Curriculum and lesson planning, but also business and centre management strategies for successful centre operations.

- Franchise Agreement and Centre Opening
- Once all training requirements are complete and the centre location has been approved, Kumon will take the appropriate steps toward offering you the Kumon Franchise Agreement. Once you have signed the Kumon Franchise Agreement, our dedicated staff will help you prepare your Kumon Centre for opening.
