Back to FAQ

How do you determine the size of my territory?
We use a powerful software program designed specifically for the purpose of designing franchise territories that provide maximum benefit for all franchisees in the system. We consider our actual formula a trade secret, but we can tell you that we base the size of the territory on the number of children at and below the age of 14, the number of elementary school enrolled students, the number of schools and school districts, and other population and geographic data we feel is important for you to be successful.

What are my overhead costs?
DIGIKIDS® is a home based business with very little overhead cost - the actual services you provide will be at customer or public locations.

Back to FAQ

Do I need experience in child ID?
Not at all. We're looking for those with a desire to own and operate a successful business, and understand the rewards that come from following a proven system.
Back to FAQ

Are there any standard operating procedures in place?
Yes. We've developed systems and operating procedures that place you at the forefront of the child ID industry. The DIGIKIDS® Operating Manuals, training and continuing support that we provide are a culmination of our experience and expertise in business, franchising and child identification. Our proprietary computer software, programs and systems are designed to help you provide the highest level of child safety identifications and customer satisfaction in the industry from the first day you begin operations.

What training will I receive as a new franchisee?
Your initial training includes a minimum of two days classroom instruction and actual hands on experience at a DIGIKIDS® Child Safety Event, if there is one in the area your training is taking place. At your request we can also be on hand to assist you in the actual opening and operation of your new business, for example assistance with your first child safety event.
Back to FAQ

Do you provide continuing assistance?
Yes - we know that your success is our success. The support and assistance you receive begins the moment you are accepted as a franchise owner, and continues throughout your term with us. In addition, we fully support and provide updates for our DIGIKIDS® Data Collection Software program including Remote Control support via an Internet connection. And through a special arrangement with Dell, we even support your Dell computer system - you won't have to deal with any offshore call centers.
Back to FAQ

What is the DIGIKIDS® Data Collection Software?
The DIGIKIDS® Data Collection Software is a patent-pending, fully automated program designed from the ground up to produce the highest quality, most useful child ID's anywhere. It was designed for an extraordinary level of privacy and security for the children, as well as the fastest processing times in the industry. It is what you will use to process the DIGIKIDS® CD and Photo ID Cards and it is very easy to operate; most people begin processing high-quality ID's immediately - without any training at all!
Back to FAQ

Will I need to take anything home to process?
Not at all - our software automates the entire ID process onsite. You'll be able to complete and deliver the CD and Photo ID Card in about two minutes without taking anything offsite, or returning to deliver finished ID's - making your DIGIKIDS® business the least 'labor intensive' of all child ID companies - by a wide margin.
Back to FAQ

Am I responsible for the children's information once the ID is completed?
Absolutely not! Our software is specifically designed so that no database is ever created. There's never a responsibility on your part to protect or remove sensitive information from your computer. With our proprietary program, there's no database - so there's nothing to delete.
Back to FAQ

Can I only market DIGIKIDS® to schools?
With our two minute onsite processing and delivery time, actual locations where you can offer the DIGIKIDS® Child ID service are limited only by your imagination! Retail stores, the zoo, fairs, malls, church functions, you name it!
Back to FAQ

Do you develop and provide marketing material?
Yes. We develop our own award-winning marketing and promotional material, and supply complete, pre-packaged ID and promotional kits for use in your DIGIKIDS® business. This makes it easy for you to concentrate on running your business - not ordering individual items, or producing marketing material on your own.
Back to FAQ

How much can I make?
Your income will depend on how much time you invest in your new business, and the size of your exclusive territory.
