Your Investment

The initial franchise fee is £20,000, which covers all the above support.

To open a studio, costs are circa £120,000 which includes the studio fit out, all equipment, the initial franchise fee and £15,000 of working capital.

Some of our most successful franchisees achieve a full payback after a year of trading.
