The franchise fee is Rs. 50 thousand to 5 lac varying from franchiser to franchiser. In addition to franchise fee, franchiser require you to build a good office infra set-up & run a local advertisement campaign, cost of which may be around Rs. 10 lac. so the total set-up cost for the immigration consulting business in a small town, can touch Rs. 15 lac.

  1. Training route: If you are not willing to adopt the franchise route & want to set up the business on your own, you can find some training institute, gain some knowledge & take a start on your own. The training provider will teach you the fundamentals of immigration process of various countries. But these kind of institutes / trainers are very rare to be found. We have searched two of such training providers, web links of which are given hereunder:

Edumilestone oversees education consultant training: https://www.edumilestones.com/cccis.php

The institutes will charge Rs. 50000 to 60000.00 as course fee.

  1. Referral partner / Affiliate: The alternative to above two modes is to be a referral partner or affiliate of some reputed big player in the field of immigration consultancy. Referral partner need to learn only the basics of immigration process & refer a prospective client to the main player. So you are only recommending these services or products to your known circle or existing client base, all other job is to done by the main player.

A referral partner is a kind of channel partner or business associate, Who recommends the services offered by your company/ main player, to people from his social circle. In simple words, you may refer the prospective client i.e. the man who needs immigration & study visa advice, to your associated company.

So  in nutshell, you are a kind of franchise without investment & what other people achieve with Rs. 10/15 lac, you will be doing with Rs. Ten thousand or even free of cost.

Keeping in view the fact that professionals who are already occupied with their current job, cannot afford time to get physical training / internship, we have made arrangement with some reputed service providers, who have consented to provide basic on-line, off-site training in the verticals of  Immigration consultancy / counseling.

There is no big difference between  the above two modes, only advantage in affiliate mode is that you will be allotted a log-in ID of college-course search software which will help you to learn quickly, the student admission & visa consultancy process.
