ShakeAway (the Franchisor) supports you (the Franchisee) along every step of the way.
...Assisting with location selection...
...Required equipment...
...Design and how to fit-out your shop...
...Staff recruitment...
...Stock sourcing and implementation of all systems...
...Your training and the initial training of your staff...
...Ongoing support while you trade by a dedicated ShakeAway Business Manager...
...Inclusion in ShakeAway promotions, the website and the Fan Club of over 19,000 members...
...Being a part of the ShakeAway family as the business grows and develops...



HOWEVER!
To open any professionally-equipped and successfully-branded business is never cheap.
Opening a ShakeAway and having sufficient capital can cost from £85,000 to £100,000.
Beware of retail franchises quoting low costs which may not be fully-inclusive
of support, training, start-up costs and so on.
Figures vary depending on many issues, but the guide given includes:
...The Franchise Initial Fee...
...Your Legal Fees...
...Fitting-out and equipping your shop...
...Training and full support...
...Some working capital...
Some capital can be borrowed, and we can assist with contact to a known asset finance company and our own bank.
We would not recommend borrowings of more than £50,000.


An existing ShakeAway Franchisee says:

"I just wanted to drop you both a line to say how happy I am being part of the ShakeAway family. In the beginning I was tempted to open my own milkshake shop, but thought it would be too hard and long winded with designs, layouts etc. I saw the potential and reality of buying a format and a growing brand.

It was only until I was building the shop did I realise how strong the brand and concept was. With the door open ALL day I heard "Oh my god ShakeAway is opening here". That is when I was confident I made the right choice.

I am extremely happy with the support and processes been given, and amazed at the high quality of your staff. It has been a very trouble free venture, more important should be fairly self running in a short amount of time. So in all I would like to congratulate you both on a fantastic business and would be happy to recommend you to any potential franchisees".

This is intended to be a brief and informal introduction only.
