Cost
The Franchise fee for SK8school is from £5000 – £15,000, depending on your desired annual income and starting point. You can expect to pay less if you have relevant skating experience and qualifications, or have access to suitable transport or equipment.
Most of the investment goes towards equipment, transport etc. so can be put off until required as the business develops. Additionally the initial payments can be made in installments, which makes the startup more accessible and reduces risk.
Once up and running you pay a modest fee of 11% monthly turnover, with decreasing percentages as you income expands. So your payments will be affordable at startup and easily sustainable once you are established.
