Your Investment
Prospective franchisees will need to have a minimum of £35,000 in available liquid capital to invest. The balance can be provided by specialist franchise funding, from a UK leading bank.
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.
