Opening a Children's Educational Center in Slovakia: Opportunities and Economic Prospects
Today in "About Business in Slovakia" we will look at the main economic aspects of opening a children's education center in Slovakia, including the necessary investments, running costs and potential income. You will learn how to manage costs and maximize profits to make your business not only useful but also profitable.
The difference between an educational center and a formal kindergarten
Opening a children's educational center in Slovakia for children from 1 to 5 years old allows you to provide services without the need to obtain a kindergarten license. Such a center can perform similar functions to a kindergarten, providing education and training for children, but with less bureaucratic complexity. This is a good alternative for those who want to start a business faster and avoid the lengthy process of obtaining official kindergarten status.
Of course, you could also provide these services to children from 5 years old, but in this case you really need a kindergarten license, which is issued by the Ministry of Education and requires a longer process - about two years. However, if you are interested in this particular license, we can also offer assistance at every stage.
Economic aspects of opening a children's educational center
It is important to understand the economics of the business of opening a children's educational center. Let's look at the main aspects that affect the yield and profitability of this business.
Expenses
The first step is to estimate the start-up and running costs. On average, the investment for launching a children's center is about 30-35 thousand euros. These funds will go towards renting the premises, opening the company, accounting, advertising and other administrative costs.
The table below summarizes the approximate costs:
If you consider the annual costs, you can focus on around €48,000, assuming minimal rent and hiring one employee. Ideally, the founder of the business can perform some of the functions, thus saving on salaries.
Revenues
The income of an educational center depends on the number of children and the cost of the services provided. For example, with an average income of 400 euros per month per child, and assuming maximum occupancy of the premises (up to 35 children), the annual income can be about 168,000 euros.
Payback period
The payback period is based on the difference between revenues and costs. With maximum utilization and effective cost management, it is possible to achieve a return on investment within two years.
