Anyone know the numbers concerning starting up their own hagwon?

STartup Cash
Rent (varies on location)
Overhead (admin and teaching material)
Licenses
How much to charge customers
Breakeven point (depends onthe above )

Is it easy money?

Also, if the hagwon allows the teachers (foreign) to each privates is it allowed? or is it more a Visa issue?

If you don't have an F-series visa then you will need a minimum 50,000,000 won to get a D-8 visa which will allow you to open a hagwon.

If the school allowed it's teachers to do privates it's still illegal but ou could get around that by letting the teachers do the privates at the school. The only teachers that can do privates legally have F-series visas.

Perhaps 2 to 3 times that amount will buy you an existing small school with maybe 100 students.
