The amount of initial investment will vary depending on several factors, including the location where you want to set up a learning center, rental and management costs, cost of living in your area, travel and associated costs to attend Start-Up Training, cost of advertising and publicity, cost of computers and other office equipment, and staffing costs should you decide to hire assistants. A learning center must average at least 1,000 square feet. You have the options of buying or leasing the designated space. The cost of leasing a center varies by country and location. For more details, please contact your nearest E.nopi regional headquarters.

The E.nopi policy is to provide our superior educational services in as many countries and cities as possible. We presently operate in many countries, including those in North America and Asia. We focus on locations where demand potential is high, and we often position our learning centers in urban areas, major city centers, or self-contained neighborhoods with high population densities. This does not imply, however, that we exclude other locations. If you are interested in opening an E.nopi learning center, please check first to see if that particular area offers any opportunities. Once you apply for a franchise license, our Franchise Development Department will review your application. Then, if needed, you may survey the area where you want to open a learning center. Our Franchise Development Department can guide you through making a detailed survey.

Our royalty fee is structured to help you establish a successful learning center. We have various types of royalty models, depending on the country in which you desire to operate your franchise business. For details, please schedule a private consultation with our staff.

All advertising and publicity responsibilities at the local level belong to the franchisee. We will assist the franchisee in designing graphics or developing other advertising and/or publicity materials. However, the franchisee must submit all self-developed advertising and publicity materials for approval to our office before releasing them. If needed, we may provide you with our own advertising and publicity materials.

We provide you with a customized marketing plan for your chosen location once your business plan has been approved and you have been invited to attend the Start-Up Training program. Marketing plans to attract students may vary depending on the location of the planned learning center.

We believe that you and your staff should fully comprehend the philosophy of the E.nopi education system. Consequently, the assistants should possess qualifications similar to that of actual operators of learning centers; however, there may be some exceptions. For details, please refer to our Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) for more information. Please note that you, as the owner/employer of the learning center, will be solely responsible for the assistants you choose to hire. Laws and regulations of the country where the learning center is located will be applied in matters regarding staff employment. In any case, E.nopi and its parent company will not be responsible for any legal matters relating to the operation of, or employment in, the learning centers.

We supply some materials free of charge and others we charge a fee. Please refer to our Initial Inventory List for details regarding non-chargeable and chargeable materials.

Through one of our offices located near your learning center, we will provide you with support in all areas to help ensure the constant growth of your learning center and the satisfaction of all your students.

We will maintain a constant course of communication with you, either through our website or directly through face-to-face meetings with our marketing staff. We will also organize seminars and training programs for teachers and instructors. Our goal is to keep you abreast of the latest developments in our educational program.
