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.
Is there already a free-from cake shop in your area? Good
Is there already a shop near you offering free-from cakes and treats?
If so, that shouldn’t be a reason why you shouldn’t consider opening one yourself. See it as proof that the demand is already there.
Success in business rarely comes from inventing something nobody has ever thought of before, because ideas like that are pretty rare. Far more often, it comes down to giving customers what they already clearly want, but doing it noticeably better than whoever's currently serving them.
Better quality, better service, better value.
Why be the first, when you can just be the best?
That's exactly the mindset behind the Eggless Cake Shop franchise. They don't shy away from competition. They welcome it because they believe in what they're offering. A rival cake shop in your area tells us the market has already been tested. The only real question is who local customers end up choosing.
The last three people to join the Eggless Cake Shop franchise all told me the same thing when they were weighing up their decision. Before signing anything, they went out and tasted the products for themselves, and that taste test turned out to be one of the biggest factors in their decision.
If you're genuinely considering this opportunity, I'd encourage you to do the same. You'll get the chance to try the full range at a Discovery Day, of course, but there's no need to wait until then. It's well worth calling into one of the many Eggless Cake Shop locations around the UK before that, or even ask for a few samples when we have our first discovery call with Bill.
Confidence in the product is only part of the reason people invest
Franchisees are also attracted by practical advantages like:
- A lower investment than many other retail and F&B franchise brands
- A quick, streamlined setup to get your store open and trading
- No baking on-site, with all products prepared centrally to simplify day-to-day operations
- Lower overheads and a business model designed to keep your focus on serving customers rather than making the products
So, if you'd like to explore those in more detail, and learn more about how an Eggless Cake Shop franchise could help you build a business that stands out in your local area, even with other cake shops nearby, let's talk.
