Your Investment

Due to the nature of the business, there are a number of other costs to consider, such as leasing and setting up your site, purchasing equipment and initial stock, hiring staff etc, so additional working capital will be required for this, as well as ongoing day-to-day costs.
We offer two different franchise models to choose from:
- Full-Format Model - Includes a live fire range and a wider range of activities, offering the potential for higher revenue and requires a total investment of approximately £344,800 (plus VAT).
- Core Activities Model - A more streamlined version, excluding the live fire element, whilst still delivering a high-quality, multi-activity experience. The total investment required for this option is around £131,000 (plus VAT).

Becoming a partner in the Target Sports World franchise is all about being your own boss, and growing your own business, so the majority of the money you make stays with you. However, there are continued support fees to enable us to maintain our systems and support to you to consider too.
While Target Sports World does not provide financing directly, there are a number of attractive options to help you with your investment. It may be possible to obtain funding from most major high street banks for some of the amount.
