Across the 150 child services & education franchise systems in our database, median initial investment runs $124K–$317K, with a typical upfront franchise fee near $49K. 57 can be started for under $100K. Each FDD's Item 7 provides the exact investment range for that brand.
73% of the child services & education franchises in our Ohio dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. Among the 50 that report unit revenue, the median is $537K per location per year. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims. Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.
Three major metros (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati) support diversified multi-unit territory development. Columbus is one of the fastest-growing Midwest metros and a frequent franchise test market.
Ohio does not require state-level franchise registration, so no separate state-level verification is needed. The federal FTC Rule still requires the franchisor to provide the FDD at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything.
