Jumpbunch

Founder Tom Bunchman started out as a franchisee himself. Over 13 years, he built, managed and maintained a successful business before launching his own unique JumpBunch concept in 1997. Tom crafted an ideal way to tap into this rapidly expanding market niche. Simply put, JumpBunch is a highly effective business model that brings sports to young children in a fun, engaging way. It was clearly the right service at the right time, and given Tom’s years as a franchisee himself, he is uniquely qualified to support and mentor franchisees, allowing each owner to reach their full potential.

From the music to the activities and equipment, every aspect of JumpBunch has been carefully researched and developed to be both fun and beneficial to the development of young minds and bodies. Today, children all over the country, from preschool through sixth grade enjoy a wide variety of JumpBunch programs.

To this day, the best barometer of success is the feedback heard as children first experience JumpBunch. Invariably, the kids have a great time and it’s clear to parents, teachers and host organizations that the structured activities provide enrichment on several levels.

There is a $30,000 Franchise Fee for a 250,000 population count territory. Larger territories are also available. As part of the screening process, JumpBunch performs a detailed demographic analysis of your area to determine if there is sufficient potential business before we proceed. If you are seriously interested, submit the Initial Inquiry form, and we can begin to discuss the details of this opportunity as it relates to your location and your specific business goals.

Since this is a home-based business, and classes will be offered at other locations, the start-up business expenses are very modest, typically about $5,000. These costs include items such as insurance, travel for training, legal fees, computer software, and starter sports equipment.

While experience teaching or running your own business can be helpful, they are not required. The most important qualities for success are a sincere interest in teaching children combined with the motivation and commitment to grow a successful business.

To own a JumpBunch franchise, you must be prepared to make this a full-time (roughly 40 hours a week) endeavor. The nature of JumpBunch classes allows flexibility from a normal 9-5 career, but to be successful, it really needs to be a full-time business pursuit.
