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?

Finding the right premises doesn't have to be hard
If you’re considering opening your own food or retail business, the first step is finding a strong business model with an excellent product line.
That part isn’t difficult – you’ve already found one with the Eggless Cake Shop franchise.
Where most people struggle is the next part: finding the right premises.
It’s a topic that’s coming up time and time again in conversations we’re having, and it’s a big problem. Most restaurants, coffee shops or food outlets need a prime spot with serious footfall to make the numbers work, which usually means premium rents and a scramble for the very same units every other operator wants. The location, for that kind of franchise, is often the single biggest thing standing between someone and the business they're after.
Here's why the Eggless Cake Shop is different
You still need a good location, of course. You want cake lovers passing by, spotting you and popping in. But there's a world of difference between a location with decent footfall and the prime, high-street, pay-through-the-nose sort.
An Eggless Cake Shop sits very happily in the first camp.
You're not looking to hide yourself away off the beaten track, nor are you fighting for the same handful of premium units that every café and restaurant in town has its eye on. That means less competition for the sites you actually want, lower rents in many cases, and far more options to choose from.
So, what should you actually be looking for?
The basic requirements are surprisingly simple:
- Around 800–1,100 sq ft of space — nothing enormous.
- Nearby parking, so customers can get their cakes home without a juggling act.
- Decent local footfall. It really doesn't need to be a costly high-street location.
And knowing what you don't need makes the search even easier.
With Eggless, there's no need for:
- Commercial ovens or baking equipment — every cake is baked off-site.
- Expensive extraction or ventilation systems.
- A specialist kitchen or complicated restaurant fit-out.
- A large seating area and all the overheads that come with running one.
- A café or restaurant-style operation to build around the cakes.
In other words, the Eggless Cake Shop was designed to be easier to find a home for than many F&B businesses.
Perhaps you've even got somewhere in mind already, a unit in a decent spot that you reckon has potential? If so, the Eggless team would be glad to help you weigh up whether it really does. We’ve opened enough shops across the UK and Canada to know exactly what to look for and, just as importantly, what to steer well clear of.
Don't let the property search be the thing that stops you before you've started, because more often than not it's a far smaller hurdle than people expect.
