Bluepoint Franchise Opportunities in New Zealand

Child Care & Education Business, NZ

The business opportunity to actively contribute to the educational development and care of school-age New Zealanders

To qualify as a Bluepoint franchisee, it is not a prerequisite to be an educator or even to have a background in education.

We do believe, however, that is advantageous for you to have pursued a successful business career, or perhaps to have retired from business or a profession.

Administrative, marketing and staff management skills are definitely necessary.

Above all, you will need to share a passion for our vision and aims:

Business potential with true community spirit

As you would have read on our main home page, it is now the majority who for reasons of choice or necessity combine parenting with career fulfilment or full time employment.

Unfortunately after school care of children is often unable to provide for or keep pace with the educational needs of children. Demands of today's curriculum require that children from a very early age be given homework.

Bluepoint After School was born out of the necessity to address this shortcoming by taking an educational approach to in home after school care.

We firmly believe in the traditional values of home being a place where a child feels most comfortable and secure. We also uphold the traditional values of the home environment being the right place for homework and extended learning. We subscribe to a healthy balance of after school relaxation and play, and getting on with homework.

Prior to establishing Bluepoint we surveyed couples and parents who we identify as our key target market. The vast majority fully supported our aims and ideals. The potential for Bluepoint as a business venture is further underscored by our successful application to Government for establishment funding support.

Bluepoint franchise business structure

Bluepoint After School is a business with fairly extensive and detailed administrative and customer service requirements.

The first priority of this franchise would be for you to initiate a Bluepointer recruitment programme. We have created strategies and procedures for this and will endeavour to provide every support to ensure you are able to evaluate and employ the very best applicants as Bluepointers.

The second priority is to market Bluepoint within your franchise area. To assist with this we have prepared a brochure, advertising templates and marketing strategies. This website is of course central to Bluepoint marketing.

Given that customer service will require you to visit your customers rather than their coming to you, Bluepoint is an ideal home-based business.

Where to from here?

Obviously there's a lot more to tell you about a Bluepoint After School Franchise.

But first about franchise businesses:

Sooner or later wage and salary earners get to a point where they have had enough of working for others. Some also find themselves faced with redundancy. Franchise businesses are now in New Zealand the well-travelled path to financial success and also the fulfilment of personal achievement.

• Franchises have a greater success rate than "go-it-alone" or start-up businesses
• Franchise finance is easier to gain than finance for an unknown small business lacking any sort of track record.
• Franchises offer an established brand name and market presence.
• Franchises offer an easy entry into a given market and are immediately competitive.
• Franchises are safer should the economy become uncertain.
• Franchisor and franchisees have a stake in mutual success; tremendous encouragement for working together towards common goals.
• Franchise purchasers, and their staff, receive comprehensive training and on-going support.
• Franchises include accounting and other proven business systems and methods.
• Franchise business owners never have to face problems or issues alone.

Working as a Bluepoint Franchisee

You own your own business. You are not a partner, employee or shareholder in the Franchisor's business. Whilst the Franchisor is not responsible for you achieving a level of profit or return on your business, you will receive all possible support, advice and mentoring. Ultimately, as a franchisee you must be diligent, committed and dedicated to growing your business.

Under the terms of the Bluepoint Franchise Agreement you, as the franchisee, are expected to use the business systems documented in the franchise manuals.

As more and more like-minded people purchase Bluepoint franchises, benefits for each franchisee increase through increased marketing and advertising weight, greater brand awareness and market penetration and a bigger base for sharing knowledge, ideas and strategies.
