If you’re still crunching numbers to see if the I Can Read business is for you, let Michael put you at ease. Previously a professional in the finance industry, Michael understands the education industry is a lucrative one. And rather than setting up an education centre, it is more cost effective to pick up a franchise with a trusted brand.

“I did not know much about the education business initially. I was introduced to it by a friend who showed me how much of a booming industry it is in Hong Kong SAR and other parts of Asia,” said Michael. “I then learned about the I Can Read method from another franchisee I’d met a couple of years ago.”

“I Can Read gave me the confidence to start this business with the solid support they’ve shown. They have helped to hire teachers, provide training and administrative support, and they have given us crucial advice in the day-to-day running of an English learning centre.

“They try their very best to help us tackle any challenges that come our way,” said Michael. “I hope to see I Can Read as a market leader in English enrichment.”

Michael has taken a community approach in running his centre, choosing to build strong bonds with the customers and neighbourhood. “We take feedback positively and strive to improve and serve the community,” said Michael. “Business has been great so far. We are building the brand slowly in Hong Kong SAR and we hope to reach an 80 percent capacity soon. I am confident that our business can grow rapidly with I Can Read in Hong Kong SAR.”

Michael would heartedly recommend the I Can Read model to any burgeoning entrepreneur. “If you want financial independence and to be set free from the mundane cycle of a deskbound job, this is for you,” advised Michael.
