As a franchisor we will not interfere with the day-to-day running of your business, however we reserve the right to inspect the franchisee’s operations for compliance with brand standards and may retain the authority to revoke the franchise for failure to comply.
We issue territory franchises on a country level (State level for the US) and therefore as a prerequisite you will need to have adequate resources, local connections and expertise to accommodate client needs for the entirety of your territory.
Furthermore, the terms of the franchise agreement vary from 1 to 5 years whilst certain minimum revenue thresholds are specified for the contractual period.
Our franchise pricing consists of three parts.
1. Franchise fee: This is a one-off fee which buys you a contractual, non-exclusive right to use the Royist brand for your franchise territory. Included in this cost is the initial setup of the franchisee's website, search engine optimization, IT configuration, training and mentoring. The franchise fee will very according to the market size of your territory. We also set a minimum requirement of total investment and free cashflow that you must have available in order to properly represent our brand in your territory.
2. Management fee: This is a fixed management fee (paid yearly in advance) to cover support, hosting and on-going technical and commercial developments of the franchisee's website and IT configuration. The management fee is independent of how much you earn.
3. Royalty fees: This represents the percentage of the gross revenue you earn which you have to pay back to Royist. The on-going royalty fee is a fixed percentage payable monthly, based on the previous months’ gross sales. All royalty payments received by us are reinvested in the business to offset expenses such as developing our franchise network and new technologies which bring a direct benefit to you as a franchisee. A royalty fees cap on achieving set revenue targets is also pertinent when a franchisee reaches higher income levels.
Our branding guidelines and technological support go a long way in helping you out, but at the end of the day this will be your own business which you must passionately nurture and grow.
