Whether buying an existing franchise or opening a new one in the UK, you need to be sure that you have adequate financial resources to acquire and open the studio and then have some working capital to cover the first few weeks of opening and the odd ‘rainy day’.

The Initial Franchise Fee for a Venture Franchise is £20,000. This would include all of your initial training and the support throughout the purchase or opening of your business.

The actual purchase price of a business or cost to open a new studio will vary according to the business and the area concerned.

The purchase figures below are indicative; once we are at the point of discussing specific opportunities with you, you should seek professional advice.

• Initial Franchise fee - £20,000
• Purchase of an existing studio - from £100,000

We have strong relationships with major lending institutions that would be able to support you with the acquisition price and initial working capital requirements, subject to their normal lending criteria.
