Business Model & Training Industry

Training and Development is a $395B industry and growing.

Global corporate training spending has been steadily increasing over the past several years, with a total spend of $395.2 billion*.

An Affordable Business Model

Crestcom is an affordable, home-based investment opportunity. For more than 35 years, franchisees have used our products, training, technology, business systems, and expertise to build profitable and sustainable businesses that impact their communities.

Low Overhead

Crestcom is a home-based business opportunity. Therefore, overhead is minimal and will likely be lower than a brick-and-mortar business. You do not incur high, ongoing venue expenses since Crestcom allows for bartering in exchange for the cost of your training venue.

Flexible Payment Terms

As an independent business owner, you have the flexibility to negotiate payment terms that suit your business. Royalty and distribution fees are due once you have received payment from your clients.

Recurring Revenue

The ongoing Crestcom L.E.A.D.R. + program allows your participants to continue learning well beyond the initial 12-month leadership training program, enabling you to enjoy a recurring revenue stream.

Repeat Business & Referrals
