HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Images 4 Kids is a low-cost, home-based pre-school photography franchise
Owning a children’s photography franchise shouldn’t burn a hole in your wallet – and with Images 4 Kids, it won’t.
The total investment necessary to begin the operation of an Images 4 Kids franchise ranges from $45,800 to $58,040. This includes the franchise fee of $36,000, access to our world-class training, marketing, support, and eCommerce platforms, your photography equipment package, your initial 4 photography sets, training for 2, and much more. The low cost of ownership is the direct result of I4K’s commitment to helping our franchise partners get started easily and get a return on their investment as quickly as possible.

“We know that our franchise owners invest real time and money to join our brand,” says Michael Price, Director of Franchise Development with Images 4 Kids. “This is a great entry-level business opportunity because it doesn’t require that much money to get started and provides our franchise owners the potential to earn a full-time living while working a flexible part-time schedule. Our unique business model is lean and profitable. For about the price of a new midsize car, you can own and operate a fun, lucrative business and be BUILDING an appreciating ASSET for your family! There are minimal operating costs, and we’ve simplified our business model to help accelerate the ramp-up time. Our franchise owners have the ability to start earning revenue quickly. Our training and support platforms help our franchise owners focus on growing and scaling their businesses effectively.”
Important points about the costs to own an Images 4 Kids franchise:

- Home-based business, low cost of overhead, and low startup
- External financing options available for 401k rollovers and Home Equity Lines of Credit

Minimal Fees & Overhead
From the ground up, we built a simple franchise model that sets our franchise owners up for success. Our technology fee of $180 per month covers your custom web pages, business phone, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Suite of Apps, CRM, and email services. Digital download sales are free to you and our lab print costs are the lowest in the industry.
Flat Royalty Fees
The I4K franchise business model features flat royalty fees. New franchisees start with a tiered plan of graduated royalty fees, having a “grace period” of two years to grow their business before they reach the full royalty fee amount. This means as your business grows and your gross sales increase, you won’t be paying more in royalties for your success. Unlike franchises that charge a percentage of your gross sales, you will keep the increased profits from all your hard work, so go ahead and be as successful as you want to be!
Do You Offer a Discount for Veterans?
Yes. Images 4 Kids proudly offers a 10% discount on the Initial Franchise Fee for the first Territory to qualified veterans. We honor the sacrifice that our veterans made for our country, and we believe their leadership skills and ability to follow systems make them exceptional franchise owners.
Do You Offer Financing?
If we grant you the right to open and operate an Images 4 Kids business for a Standard Territory, we may offer you financing for a portion of the Initial Franchise Fee if you meet our qualifications. Additionally, we have relationships with third-party lenders who can help you secure the capital you need to get started.
