Starting a tutoring school in Hong Kong can be a rewarding venture, but it requires careful planning and adherence to regulations. Here's a breakdown of the key steps:
Preparation:
Market Research: Identify your target audience (age, subjects, location) and research existing competition. What makes your school unique (USP)?
Business Plan: Develop a business plan outlining your concept, financials, marketing strategy, and staffing needs.
Funding: Estimate startup costs (rent, renovations, equipment, marketing, licensing) and secure funding if needed.
Legalities:
Company Registration: Register your business with the Companies Registry.
School Registration: Obtain a "Certificate of Registration of School" from the Education Bureau (EDB). This involves meeting specific requirements for premises, curriculum, and staff qualifications.
