Start with the full project
Typical cost categories can include franchise rights, deposits, legal and professional fees, fit-out, signage, equipment, utilities work, opening stock, recruitment, pre-opening payroll and launch activity.
The amount attached to each category depends on the brand, site, format and lease, so applicants should avoid treating one headline figure as the complete investment.
Property can move the number materially
Two units of similar size can have very different project costs because one may need substantial services, landlord works or structural changes while another is closer to the required specification.
Rent deposits, guarantees, service charges and business rates also affect the cash requirement even when they are not part of the fit-out budget.
Keep working capital separate
Opening day does not remove payroll, rent, stock and marketing costs. A business needs enough liquidity to operate while sales mature.
Working capital should therefore be treated as its own funding requirement rather than whatever money is left after construction.
Use current franchise documents
Any actual Jungle Berry UK investment ranges or fees should come from the current approved franchise materials. This guide explains the structure of the decision rather than inventing a number.
Applicants should also use their own legal and financial advisers when assessing a franchise investment.
