How the money works

Education & Childcare runs on one business model

Two shops in the same industry can need opposite advice, because they sell different things. Find the model you actually run on.

Enrollment and membership

You sell one enrolled student or member per month

Revenue is enrolled seats times monthly rate, and the whole game is churn. Ratios and licensing set your cost floor and your capacity, and you cannot flex them the way other businesses flex labor. Every member who leaves costs you the acquisition cost again, so retention spending almost always beats marketing spending.

Your ceiling
Licensed capacity and required staff ratios.
Biggest leak
No onboarding for new membersThe first 30 days decide the next 30 months. A structured start cuts early churn hard.
