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.
Ready for your slice of success? Let’s talk funding…
An opportunity like the Eggless Cake Shop franchise is very much like one of those bake-at-home cake kits you can buy. It has everything you need including the perfect recipe for success - but there are always a couple of ingredients you need to bring along yourself.
The first is the right attitude, being the kind of person who is willing to put in the hard work to make this opportunity work for them, and having the ambition, dedication, and commitment necessary to build your own business on the back of everything the franchise can offer you.
The second ingredient is often where people stumble... though it’s rarely as big an obstacle as they think: how you’re going to raise the finances to invest in your future.
Starting any new business requires investment, and should not be taken lightly. The good news is that the Eggless Cake Shop franchise requires a lot lower initial investment than some franchises, and has far fewer overheads, compared to most other food, or retail, models. There's no expensive kitchen fit-out, no commercial ovens, and no specialist extraction or ventilation systems required.
Even so, it can still feel like you have a mountain to climb when it comes to raising the funds, especially if you don’t know where to start.
Here’s how you can find the support you need
Firstly, if you have any questions about how finances work with the Eggless Cake Shop franchise - the investment costs, the set-up fees, how much you can expect to earn, you name it - just ask. There’s a great deal of information the team can share with you, and they’re more than happy to help.
Secondly, they’ve just introduced someone new to their team: Gary Chatwin, their new Funding Introducer.
He's joined Eggless Cake Shop specifically to help people like you navigate the funding landscape – not to push you towards any particular product or decision, but to help you understand what's genuinely available to you, based on your own circumstances.
Depending on your situation, Gary can help you explore:
- Business Start-Up Loans of up to £25,000 per person
- Commercial loans for larger investment requirements
- Asset finance if you need to fund equipment as part of your setup
- Refinancing if freeing up existing capital could help bridge the gap
