So let's, let's talk for a moment about if, if somebody's interested in, in, um, investing in an education franchise, what does that mean? What's that kind of e- what's the entry level? Um, what's the cost?

So on the low end, home-based and mobile concepts like in-home tutoring or STEM enrichment, et cetera, um, that r- or other ones that run inside existing schools can start well under $100,000.

Um, so needing to have that.

On the high end, we've got brands like Lightbridge Academy, which requires a $250,000 minimum cash investment, but total investment ranges from a million dollars to seven million depending on your, um, facility, depending on, um, if you're buying or if you're leasing, all, all kinds of factors that go into opening, uh, a place like that.

Yeah.

But what you really do need to ask yourself is are you able, will you be able to take, extract yourself out of the day-to-day work and work on the business? We say it a million times, but work on the business instead of in the business.

I think that can be really challenging for folks, especially folks who take a lot of pride in what they do, and it's hard for them to, quote-unquote, "scale their way of doing things."
