Your own business. With a proven system and a finished shop.

You bring entrepreneurial drive and capital. The system brings the brand, the processes and the training. We bring the two together and take care of everything between the licence and the opening. You focus on your business; we hand you a finished location.

  • Site search and lease

    We look for premises that suit your system and your region, and secure them with you through to the signed lease.

  • Shopfitting and interior build-out

    The build-out is done by our own network of tradespeople, carpenters among them, to your system’s specifications. You deal with us, not with every trade separately.

  • Financing and funding programmes

    We support you with your bank loan and with public funding programmes: with the paperwork, and with the question of which programmes may apply to your plans. Loans and funding are decided by the bank and the funding body.

  • Opening and onboarding

    We support the opening and your onboarding through to your first day of trading. Training in the system itself is provided by the system’s head office.

What is free and what is paid for.

We tell you up front, so there are no surprises. Before anything incurs a cost, you receive an individual quote. Whether you accept it is up to you.

  1. Free of charge for you

    Advice and choice of system

    The first consultation, the advice and the choice of the right system. That work is paid for by the franchisors on whose behalf we work. That is why we introduce you to the systems we work with, and tell you honestly whether one of them is right for you.

  2. By individual quote

    Turnkey location

    Shop, build-out and fit-out. The entry fee and ongoing fees are paid to the franchise system, as usual.

The turnkey location is an offer, not a condition. You can also use only the free advice on choosing a system.

    We clarify your goals, your preferred region and your options. Free, without obligation and confidential.

    We find the premises, support you through the lease and help you with your bank loan and funding programmes. For the location you receive an individual quote.

  4. Build-out

    Our network of tradespeople builds out and fits the shop to the system’s specifications.

  5. Opening

    We support the opening and your onboarding until your shop has its first day of trading behind it.

What you should know up front.

Answers for founders. Everything else we settle in the free conversation.

What does it cost me?

The first consultation, the advice and the choice of the right system are free of charge for you. That work is paid for by the franchisors on whose behalf we search for partners. That is why we introduce you to systems we work with, not a cross-section of the whole market. If you want the turnkey location, you pay for the shop, build-out and fit-out according to an individual quote, which you receive before anything is commissioned. The entry fee and ongoing fees are paid to the franchise system. Have the franchise agreement reviewed independently before you sign.

Do I have to have the shop built through you?

No. The turnkey location is an offer, not a condition. You can also use only the free advice on choosing a system.

Do you finance my location?

No. We support you with your bank loan and with funding programmes, for example with the paperwork and with the question of which programmes may apply to your plans. Loans and funding are decided by the bank and the funding body.

Am I committing to anything by sending the form?

No. First you receive a proposed time for a conversation. Whether you go any further after that is up to you.

Do you pass my details on to franchisors?

Only with your consent. In the form you agree in principle to us sharing your details with suitable systems. Before anything is shared, we discuss with you which specific system it is. Until then your details stay with us.

Do I need experience in the sector?

That depends on the system. Some require industry experience, others train the specialist side themselves. We tell you honestly which systems fit your background.

How much equity do I need?

That varies considerably from system to system. In the conversation we work out which systems fit your means. We only quote specific figures once they relate to a specific system and your situation.

How quickly can I start?

That depends on the system, your financing, the location and the scope of the build-out. You get a realistic estimate in the conversation, not before.
