How Low is the Investment Needed to Open an iCode Franchise?

iCode franchisees are passionate about the iCode brand and committed to providing exceptional products with high-quality customer service. To qualify as an iCode franchisee, you must have access to at least $100K liquid capital, meaning cash, including savings, or any assets that can be liquidated quickly.

Our ideal franchising candidate wants to grow with the company and have the flexibility to adapt as the brand adapts. While knowledge of computer science or previous business ownership is not required, we do prefer that you have leadership experience and a keen interest in running a business.

So, if you have the ability, the passion, and the capital to partner with an exceptional franchise for kids’ STEM, please fill out our online form or call 469-608-7023 to talk to one of our consultants about joining the iCode family today.
