Steps to Ownership
What Our Franchisees Say
My wife and I were looking for some kind of coding and technology education for our own kids when we came across iCode. Being in IT myself, I knew I wanted them to get the “Why” and not just the “How” of a wide range of technology and computer science. We liked iCode’s approach and methodology so much, we decided to bring this to our own community.
iCode Corporate was very engaged and helpful in getting our facility built and opened, helping with site selection, lease negotiations, and making sure we got what we needed from all the vendors.
We opened the first iCode franchise because we believed in the business model and the company’s vision. We just completed our first year of operation and are doing so well that we are now planning to further invest and expand to additional locations.
iCode is a franchise opportunity that went from being a business relationship to a family. The support and willingness of our partners in corporate to work closely with us and help us actively in every step of the way has made the journey less fraught, even for a newcomer to this. We were always excited by the clear structured curriculum of iCode, which is a key differentiator compared to any other, but the plans and continuous growth have made us certain that we made the right choice. Last but not least, this is a journey we are enthusiastic about because we can make a difference in our communities and especially in the lives of children.
Building a successful business requires the right ingredients. An iCode Franchise gives you the freedom to do what’s exciting and will stay relevant for years to come.
From selecting the location to supporting, monitoring the construction and procurement process, selecting staff to marketing strategies, the franchise was with me all along that makes it a smooth sailing business. This allowed us as owners to focus on what we needed to do the most – build business and focus on the customer. It’s like owning your own business but having a whole team doing all the work for you as well
iCode has a phenomenal vision in terms of the best technology education for kids and expanding that program to special needs kids and then Adults. I strongly believe they will soon be the program of choice for corporate and schools.
Kushangi and I were looking for a franchise opportunity. We were inundated with proposals for the usual food or services opportunities that were hard to differentiate. We than happened to pass by Paul and Elena. That casual conversation started getting more in depth in terms of curriculum and availability of suitable location. A meeting dedicated to understanding the curriculum made it very clear that lot of thought was put into developing the program and there was dedicated support to enhance/modify it as the technology evolved. At that point, it was evident to us that we needed to talk to Abid and discuss how to land the right location in DFW.
