How much should you really prepare?

When people ask “How much is the franchise?” they are usually asking two different questions.

Question oneHow much is the package?What you pay Mang Juan for the brand, cart or kiosk, equipment, training and opening help.
Question twoHow much do I actually need to open and operate?The package, plus property, permits and enough working capital to run before sales catch up.

Business requirements

Registration and permits vary by city or municipality. Allow time as well as money.

04
