Since it is an educational institution, the organization will receive this amount during the admission period. Accordingly, we have calculated the average monthly sales as GBP 25,000. - Franchise partners are required to have their own facility with classrooms. The investment figures provided cover the brand fee and operational expenses such as salaries and utilities, but exclude the cost of acquiring a facility, as real estate values vary across our target countries. - Since the brand fee covers the education system and all necessary course kits, the only additional expenses for the outlet will be the salaries of two staff members and utilities. With this structure, the outlet can expect to achieve an EBITDA of approximately 40%, or around GBP 10,000 per month.
