The demand for creative and learning experiences is on the rise, and owning an Art + STEM franchise is a great way to combine these passions with profitability. If you’re considering joining the Creatif family, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of becoming a Creatif franchise owner.
Step 1: Research & Understand the Creatif Franchise Model
Before taking the leap, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with Creatif’s unique business model. Unlike traditional art studios, Creatif offers unique business opportunities by integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education with art experience. This differentiator positions Creatif as a future-focused franchise with broad customer appeal.
Key Factors to Consider:
- What sets Creatif apart from other family friendly franchises?
- What are the investment costs and potential returns?
- What support does Creatif provide to its franchisees?
Taking time to research these aspects will help you make an informed decision and prepare for the next steps. It may help to visit Creatif studio’s website and Creatif’s franchise website.
Step 2: Connect with the Creatif Franchise Team
Once you’re confident that Creatif is the right opportunity for you, the next step is to reach out to the Creatif Franchise Development Team by scheduling an introductory call/filling out the interest form here.Â
Someone from the team will then reach out to conduct an introductory/eligibility call and ask preliminary questions.

Step 3: Meeting with the CEO & Founder
After the review of your application, if you are shortlisted you will receive an invitation to a detailed webinar meeting with our CEO. This is your opportunity to learn more about the concept and speak to the Founder.
This session provides an in-depth overview of the brand and the franchising opportunity. It is also your chance to ask any questions about the business model, operations, and support system.
What to Expect During This Step:
- A presentation covering Creatif’s unique approach to art and STEM education and franchise growth.
