Your Initial Investment

Big Star Sandwich Company requires an initial investment ranging from around $185,000 to $288,000 depending on a number of factors, including the size of the restaurant and the amount of tenant improvement allowances provided by the landlord. This amount includes the Initial Franchisee Fee, leasehold improvements, equipment, inventory, grand opening promotion, insurance, working capital, and miscellaneous start-up items.

We do not provide financial assistance to franchisees. You are required to have sufficient capital to purchase the franchise, pay for the development of the premises, and have sufficient working capital available to cover the start-up phase of the business.

Although this amount of money may be available to an applicant by way of bank loan, we will not approve any candidate unless they have approximately one - third of the total investment available in unencumbered cash. We are of the belief this amount of money is required so that the franchisee does not enter the business with an unreasonable debt load.
