A €10,000 deposit is paid initially with the balancing amount payable when the franchise agreement is signed. Once a Franchisee a royalty fee - 5% of stores gross sales is payable. A further 2% of gross sale is payable into our marketing fund. All of this marketing fund is used to advertise and promote the stores and brand.

Q. HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO EARN?
A. Your profit and loss will depend on a number of factors such as your area, the amount of time you spend on the job, how good a businessperson you are, and market conditions.

Upon receiving your franchise contract you have 30 days for your nominated solicitor to check through the contract and agree the terms after which your deposit is non refundable. This deposit is deductible from the €20,000 franchise licence fee.
