For this fee, you will receive:
Rights to your own exclusive territory calculated to maximise growth

Please note this cost does not include your Cafe2U van, which will be supplied through us at extra cost. However, we can assist you in arranging finance for this, and have a scheme for preferential leasing of a fully-electric van.
The total investment including a vehicle deposit and equipment is approximately £42,500.
You should also consider having a certain amount of working capital available to support yourself while your new business gets off the ground and reaches its full potential. It is hard to put an exact figure on this, as costs will vary greatly, but you can expect to start earning straightaway thanks to our launch marketing programme and income guarantee.
We are happy to share more detailed financial figures with you should you decide to enquire further.
Help raising funds
While the Cafe2U franchise does not provide financing directly, there are a number of attractive options to help you with your investment.
For example, it may be possible to obtain funding from most major high street banks for some of the amount. Franchising is one of the safest and most secure ways of starting your own business, so many lenders rightfully see it as a much lower risk than a completely new start-up, and may be much more inclined to lend you money against your investment. This will be especially true for a large, well-established franchise like Cafe2U which can show decades of successful trading across scores of different locations.
There are also some government funded loans which could be available, and we would be happy to point you in the right direction for more information.
