When you’re weighing up a franchise, there’s a great deal to think through. Chances are you’re considering leaving a steady job to bet on yourself for a change, and investing your hard-earned savings to get going.
Which is why this email is all about a subject everybody’s needs to know about: the money.
There are two sides to it – what it costs to get started, and what you can realistically earn once you do.
Here are two summary videos to help you get started:
However, we think it’s worth having a deeper look, too.
Take the cost first. There’s an initial investment that covers everything you need to launch: your van, your equipment, your training, and the support that gets you up and running. Finance options are available, and we usually have a start-up offer or two on the table as well. We won’t reel off a list of figures here, because the honest answer depends on your circumstances, and it’s exactly the kind of thing worth going through properly on a call.
What we can tell you is that you won’t be launching into thin air. Our £3,000 launch guarantee – £300 a day for your first two weeks – means you’ve got a floor under you from day one while you find your feet.
As for what’s possible, real numbers tell it best. Paul (pictured), who launched in Milton Keynes North last September, took £9,000 in sales in his first month. Chris, an ex-Army owner in Bicester, was breaking even just six weeks in. Neither of them got there by luck – they got there by committing and putting the work in – but it shows you what’s possible if you follow our model.
These have all been questions worth the asking, the reality of the day, and the numbers behind it. If you want to discuss any of them in more detail, or ask us anything else at all about the Cafe2U franchise, the next step is to book a call to have a straightforward, no-pressure chat about your situation and whether Cafe2U is the right fit for you.
