The Costs

Deciding to invest in a franchise is big step, both in terms of the financial costs and in terms of the personal commitment needed to make sure that it works for you.

We have a close relationship with all our franchisees, which is why many of them have been with us for so long!

Can I get any financial help with the investment?

Yes. Franchising is recognised by most major banks as being one of the most stable and reliable investments for loaning money. They rightfully see it as a much lower risk than a completely new start-up. Also, Greensleeves has a long and successful trading history that clearly demonstrates the soundness of the investment.

Most banks will view your application for funds very favourably if they come with the backing of an established franchise like ours. A lot depends on your own financial history, of course, but many of our franchisees have managed to secure between 50-70% of the total costs from lenders in the past.

What ongoing costs are there?

Becoming a Greensleeves franchisee is all about being your own boss, and growing a business that you can be proud of, so the majority of the money you make stays with you, of course. However, there are certain costs involved in maintaining our partnership.

Greensleeves charges an ongoing franchise fee of 7% of your gross monthly turnover.

There is also a fee of 2% for our national marketing levy. This goes directly into our marketing efforts to raise and maintain brand awareness on your, and the network’s, behalf.
