Start Your Study Abroad Consultancy in 2026
7,50,000+ Indian students go abroad every year — and every single one needs a trusted guide
About Study Abroad Franchise — Complete Guide 2026
India is now the world's largest source of international students — with 7,50,000+ students going abroad for higher education every year, to destinations including Canada, USA, UK, Australia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and Dubai. Every single one of these students needs guidance on university selection, application, visa documentation, language tests (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT), scholarships, and pre-departure preparation. Study abroad consultancy is a commission-based business — consultancies earn commissions (typically 10–15%) from partner universities for every student enrolled. This means your income is directly tied to the number of students you successfully place. Bivha's study abroad franchise gives you formal tie-ups with 500+ universities across 15 countries, visa documentation training, IELTS preparation support tools, scholarship database access, and a student management CRM for application tracking. A consultancy placing 50 students per year at average ₹50,000 commission earns ₹25 lakh annually — with minimal infrastructure cost.
Canada and UK are currently the most popular study abroad destinations for Indian students. Bivha's university network is particularly strong for Canadian and UK institutions — giving your consultancy a competitive advantage in these high-demand markets.
