Initial Franchise Fee
$34,000
This is like an entry fee. It's the price you pay to unlock the franchise opportunity, giving you access to the franchisor's proprietary business systems and intellectual property.
Your Affordable Franchise Journey
Opening a preschool franchise might seem intimidating, but Fun Bus makes the entire process simple. We want our FUNtrepreneurs to enjoy the ride as much as their kids will!
While some children’s businesses require large amounts of space and many supplies, the portable nature of a Fun Bus makes us one of the simplest models on the market today. Instead of paying the fees associated with maintaining and operating a retail location, you take your business on the road. You’ll be up and running faster than the competition as well, allowing you the opportunity to recoup your investment and start turning a profit much sooner than other child-centered franchises.
But what are the costs? Compared to other child-focused businesses, Fun Bus is an incredibly cost-effective franchise.
Investment Breakdown
When you invest in your own FUN BUS, expenses are minimal, allowing you to ramp up to a strong ROI. Bringing fun in the form of fitness to kids in your community requires some upfront costs to ensure you're ready to open for business.

This pays for your vehicle purchase and refurbishment. We'll help you with this process so that your BRIGHT GREEN BUS looks and runs like new! This portion also covers licensing, vehicle delivery, and tax requirements.
Equipment and Inventory
$5,000-$6,000
Our buses feature things to jump on, swing on, slide down, crawl through and climb. The safety padding and interactive equipment are covered with this portion of the investment.

$1,000-$5,000
Our support team is on hand to help you with everything from bus acquisition to marketing. We offer support calls, field support, forums, newsletters and conferences to keep you connected with all the assistance you need to be successful.

Initial Insurance

You'll want to make sure all your assets and supplies are protected! Insurance will play its part to ensure your business can move full speed ahead, come what may. After initial costs, insurance payments will range anywhere from $150-$300 per month.
Additional Funds
$10,000-$15,000
As your preschool franchise gets up and rolling (literally!), you'll want a buffer fund to carry you through those first few months successfully. This amount will buy you time to build up momentum as a new business.
TOTAL
$63,850 - $144,000
*The higher end of the investment range covers any additional vehicle refurbishment or equipment needed, but most FUNtrepreneurs find they pay an average closer to the lower end of the range shown above. *These numbers are from the 2021 FDD.
Franchise Investment and Ownership Benefits
Most of our owners are able to open their kid's franchise on the lower end of the initial investment range. The ongoing royalty fee allows for owners to retain the right to all Fun Bus branding and materials, and also provides owners with all the most current advances in the Fun Bus business, including technology used to help keep your business efficient. Owners will also want to budget for vehicle maintenance for their bus, including gas and insurance.
Of course, we are happy to review all of these costs with you, and help you strategize on how you can maximize your profitability.
Reduced Costs
A FUN BUS franchise is already a low-cost investment, but opening multiple units results in a discounted franchise fee. As you add on buses, your fixed costs will be shared, leading to lower costs per bus.
Higher Revenue
Each BRIGHT GREEN BUS that you add to your franchise brings access to a whole new set of customers, potentially increasing your overall earnings.
Shared Marketing
As a Franchise Owner, you immediately benefit from the marketing power of your brand. Investing in additional locations strengthens the reach of your brand, bringing more consumer recognition.

Your business is on wheels, and a whole fleet of BRIGHT GREEN BUSES puts you in a position to make more sales than your competition can.
Streamlined Operations
Once you’ve figured out the operations of one location, opening one, two or three more is a breeze. The experience you gain in hiring, training and operating your first BRIGHT GREEN BUS will guide you as you add more buses to your expanding franchise.
If you’re looking for a future that’s full of both success and fun, FUN BUS is the franchise for you!
Potential Profits Through Expansion
Thanks to our one-of-a-kind model, our mobile franchise already has an edge on market dominance, but you can capitalize on that opportunity by investing in more than one bus. Our already cost-effective franchise is simple to expand, and when you open additional buses, you’ll see a discounted franchise fee in addition to greater market dominance in your area. With a greater reach of locations, you’ll market to more of your community, seeing much greater potential revenue.
