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.
Don’t let the dreary British winter dampen your ambition!
It’s that time of year again – longer, colder nights, cosy evenings, feet up with a slice of cake, perhaps…
So, while everyone else is slowing down for the winter, this could be a great time for you to put in the work behind the scenes to build something truly special for yourself in 2025. That might still feel like a long way off, but there are only a few weeks left of 2024, so, why not take advantage of the quieter months and do a bit of research into your options for the future, and whether or not the Eggless Cake Shop franchise should be one of them?
Don’t forget – building a business this good doesn’t happen overnight!
Even though the franchise has a highly structured business model, and has perfected the process of helping franchisees open new stores over dozens of locations in the UK & Canada, there's a lot that needs to happen before you launch.
Even before you make a commitment, you need to be sure you have done all your research and due diligence. We can speed that along as much as you like, but we recommend not rushing anything and taking the time to make absolutely sure this is the right opportunity for you.
By far the biggest time hog will always be finding a location for your store. We can help you a great deal with this, but you’ll still need to factor in how long it takes to sort out all the legal paperwork and financing etc. After that, you’ll need to get the store outfitted and ready to trade, which can happen quite quickly.
You’ll be looking at a good 5-6 months from becoming a franchise partner with the Eggless Cake Shop and actually opening the doors of your brand, new store.
You had better get that first, easier step, out of the way now!
This winter is the perfect chance for you to take the time to learn more about this franchise and how it could work for you. That way, you’ll be able to make your move and progress to the next stage once you’re ready.
This first step really couldn’t be simpler. It all starts with getting in touch and scheduling a call to learn some of the finer details and ask any questions you have. This will be a very casual and informal call, no sales pitches or pressure of any kind – just a chance to learn if this franchise really could be for you.
