โ It is ideal for someone who is looking to start a business with low start up costs. All you need are basic communication tools that you probably already have, such as a computer, internet connection, telephone, and a physical space. You could even begin from a home office if it is appropriate.
โ It usually does not cost money to sign up with academic institutions. Having a few professional references is often enough.
โ You do not need a large marketing budget. You can run social media campaigns if you have funds, or use traditional methods such as distributing leaflets in appropriate places or visiting tuition centres and negotiating a business model with tutors who conduct upper secondary or higher education classes.
โ You can start within a short period of time. Many non university level institutions often offer agent commissions even if you do not currently represent them, and in some cases you can submit the first student application together with your agent application.
โ Once you recruit your first student, you will usually have enough capital to invest in more effective recruitment campaigns.
