Who Are We Looking For?
Successful Eggless Cake Shop franchisees come in all shapes and sizes, and there’s no one single recipe for who makes for a successful partner.
The MOST important thing to understand is that you do not need to be an experienced baker, or even know how to bake a cake at all. All of our cake bases are made for you and delivered fresh every morning. All you have to do is ice and decorate them, and our training will make you an expert.
It is, however, vitally important is that you have a passion for all things cake related, and a commitment to delivering fantastic customer service.
What’s my investment?
The franchise fee is £10,000 (plus VAT), and the balance of this must be paid upon signature of the Franchise Agreement.
There are also a number of other costs to consider; leasing and outfitting your site, business insurance, legal fees etc. These costs will vary from location to location, but we have prepared a detailed breakdown based on our current outlets which we are happy to discuss further with you.
You will also need to have a certain amount of working capital available to support yourself, so a minimum liquid capital of £30,000 is required.
Funding the dream…
Franchising is one of the safest and most secure ways of starting your own business, so many lenders are much more inclined to lend you money against your investment. There are also government funded loans which could be available; we would be happy to point you in the right direction for more information.
You will need to make sure you have enough working capital available to you to cover hiring staff, purchasing supplies and day-to-day costs while you build up your business, but we are on hand to help you assess these costs as part of your business planning should you decide to join us.
What’s my earning potential?
An Eggless Cake Shop franchise has great potential for bringing you a rapid and substantial return on your investment thanks to its low start-up costs, and low operational overheads. Many of our franchisees enjoy a profit margin of between 22% and 26%.
Obviously exactly how much you can expect to earn from your franchise will vary a great deal, based on a variety of factors such as location and the local market. But, based upon our experience to date, a well-performing shop can expect to enjoy operating profits between £45 – £65,000 by the end of Year One*.
*These figures are for illustration purposes only. Once you have signed a non-disclosure agreement, we will be able to share more in-depth financial data from our current operations and help you more accurately assess the earning potential of your proposed location.
What’s my next step?
Get in touch. We are more than happy to talk about what we do, and how we can help you to build your own successful and rewarding business.
Community engagement helps Eggless Cake Shop owners ‘grow their business
Eggless Cake Shops are bustling hubs of their local community, where you will always see plenty of customers, despite the constant ups and downs of the economy.
The franchise has recently opened 3 new locations in Canada, proving that this is a concept with both national and international appeal, and they’re also seeing a great deal of interest in a number of new locations across the UK.
What makes Eggless Cake Shops so successful?
Just like their delicious cakes, it’s a mixture of things - a fantastic blend of ingredients which make them stand out from the crowd.
Their unique range of products for one, but that’s just the base; the ‘icing on the cake’ is how quickly the stores become destinations for people; whether it’s buying a daily treat, or something for a special occasion. In becoming part of the community, Eggless Cake Shop franchise owners have opportunities to grow their business many companies can only dream of. And, the final secret ingredient? People like you.
Ambitious, talented, community minded-people are taking the model and products this franchise offers them, and really flying with it. Here are some of the amazing things franchisees have been doing to boost their profile and get even more people in the door. They could also be fantastic ways for you to enjoy a much fast return on investment with your own store:
- Going to local events to spread the word and network with a wide range of local people and businesses
- Leaflet drops in residential areas – not just simple A5 leaflets, but full colour menu-type leaflets which can really make your mouth water!
- Donating cakes to local charity events, such as MacMillan Coffee Mornings. This not only creates positive feeling, but gets people trying the cakes!
- Special launch events and promotions where they invite local politicians and celebrities – and butter them up with some treats, of course!
Of course, this all means extra work on your part to get the desired effect, but the point is: if you have the skills and dedication, an Eggless Cake Shop franchise could well be the recipe for success you’ve been waiting for. For the right person, it can offer an amazing head start and a powerful platform from which you can grow a very successful and lucrative business with the support of an expert team.
