Business description
An incredible opportunity to purchase a successful chocolate fountain franchise, covering Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. Excellent gross profit margins and huge scope for expansion. Sale due to a change in personal circumstances.
Property information
- Location:
- Currently run from home and promoted online, at wedding fairs and through market specific magazines. It is possible to run this business from premises in any of the counties covered by the franchise.
Business Operation
- Expansion potential:
- Excellent opportunities to expand into children's parties and May balls. These two markets are currently unexploited and represent significant possibilities for business growth. The new owner could also sell chocolate kebabs at markets and other events to increase turnover.
- Reasons for selling:
- This business is being sold due to a change in personal circumstances which result in the owner no longer being able to promote the business and realise its full potential.
- Trading hours:
- Events are usually during weekend evenings with a small amount of time during the week spent on paperwork and advertising. This can be flexible and works well around other commitments.
- Employees:
- There are a small group of people who help on an ad hoc basis with larger events.
- Years established:
- The franchise company has been running since 2004.
Franchise terms
- Franchise opportunity:
- Yes
The franchise is owned by the buyer for a term of 5 years (unless sold before this time). 10% of booking prices are paid to the franchisor for national advertising, admin such as producing contracts for clients and maintenance of the website. These are invoiced monthly.
