Financial Information

We are sure that you are thinking ‘How much will it cost and what can I earn?’ Because of the strength of the franchise, all major banks are happy to lend a significant amount of your fee (up to 70% - subject to status).
We are confident that a well-run franchise could bring significant earnings, even in the first year. Of course this all depends on the time and effort you put into your franchise. Almost all franchisees have an initial capital cost and an ongoing management fee to the Franchisor. A franchisee of The Wharf is no different.
