ARE YOU READY TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS?

As a MiniChess franchisee, you will own a business in the education and training sector, the fastest growing sector globally, as people, upskill and reskill for a time of fast-changing world demands.

Easy, Affordable Start-Up

MiniChess is simple and economical to launch. All start-up training and materials are included, so you can begin operating quickly and confidently. You do not need prior knowledge, and there is no requirement to rent a venue, hire staff, or carry stock. You run your own business with an independent, flexi-time schedule that fits your lifestyle.

What You Need to Succeed

To do well in MiniChess, you should enjoy working with children, parents, schools and communities. You need to communicate clearly and be fluent in English. You must have your own transport, plus a home office space with a computer and reliable internet. Strong organisation matters, as you will manage people and events. We also look for franchisees who are energetic, reliable, and committed to growing their business.

A Priority Service for Parents

As a franchisee, you deliver a high value programme to parents of young children. The award-winning MiniChess programme for ages 4 to 9 uses clever game innovations to teach critical skills that are not typically covered in the school curriculum. Children learn while having fun, building critical thinking, an entrepreneurial mindset, stronger STEAM skills, grit and resilience, plus a practical emotional intelligence toolkit. These 21st century skills help children thrive in a world shaped by smart machines. You can deliver classes in schools, online, or through MiniChess Clubs, with weekly sessions, holiday bootcamps, or customised arrangements. The model serves both self-paying clients (schools and parents) and sponsored communities through corporate support in collaboration with The Entrust Foundation.

Strong Support & Smart Systems

You are backed by strong franchisee support and innovative business structures. This includes brand-based marketing support, ready-to-use marketing materials, and marketing training. You also have access to back-office assistance for admin and financial admin, plus a network for quality assurance and mentoring. Franchisees benefit from an annual Franchisee Symposium and a Franchisee Leader Tribe, keeping you connected and supported. MiniChess is an accredited FASA member, implementing ethical franchise structures, and the programme is globally accredited with registered IP and brand protection. You can choose full regional franchise rights or a more affordable sub-franchise option.
