FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
- Do I have to take orders from someone else? We
don’t like to think that anyone who is joining our team needs
to take orders. We like to see it as providing suggestions and that
we all work together to achieve higher results.
Remember…T.E.A.M. (Together, Everyone, Achieves, More)
YOU ARE IN BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF BUT
NOT BY YOURSELF
- After all the necessary approvals, how long before I
own my own Franchise? We are constantly seeking new
locations and work in conjunction with landlords to source the
ideal location for our Franchisees. All of this depends on the
availability and your preference of the area. We normally advise
Franchisees that it could take a range from 2 to 4 months
- How do I know if I have the financing in
place? We will support you every inch of the way to
complete your investment in a smooth and timely process. We will
work with you to ensure you have all the necessary documentation to
support your financing application.
- Where and how do I obtain the financing? The
standard minimum equity investment for Fulton Market or
Applejack’s is approximately 35 - 50% of the
project. The net-worth required is approximately $150,000 -
$250,000 of which $100,000 - $150,000 must be in liquid assets.
Financing from all charted banks is available through a Government
supported small Business Loan.
Will I be required to purchase all
items from Big City Concepts? The company has designated
suppliers for all food, beverage, paper, cleaning and other
supplies. It is important that the company purchases from the
designated suppliers in order to achieve consistency as well as to
maintain the purchasing power, which results to better costing and
profitability. However, in the event that a Franchisee recommends a
certain supplier not yet approved by the Franchisor, the Franchisor
will attempt to establish a relationship with the vendor and ensure
they meet the strict requirements of becoming an approved supplier
for the entire network.
- Do I need to be involved with the day to day operation
and management of the Franchise? You must designate at
least one Manager to be dedicated and prepared to devote his/her
full time effort in the operation. Your involvement can only
contribute to the success of the operation.
- Can I own more than one Big City Franchise? We
believe in the involvement of the owner/operator in the day to day
operation of a franchise. We also believe that if an individual
could have the ability to operate more than one location, we will
support them in understanding the requirements and effort in
becoming a multi-unit Franchisee. We strongly support the
initiatives of the Franchisees and we encourage any discussions
about expansion opportunities.
- Can I sell the restaurant or transfer the Franchise
rights? Yes. However, the Franchisor reserves the right to
approve any new Franchisee and the circumstances pertaining to the
transfer or sale of the franchise location.
