What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated total initial investment for a single-unit franchise ranges from $160,990 to $340,476. This investment covers various expenses, such as the initial franchise fee, rent, utility security deposits, design and architect fees, leasehold improvements, signage, equipment, furniture and fixtures, point of sale and computer equipment, business licenses and permits, professional fees, insurance, initial inventory, uniforms and office supplies, training expenses, grand opening marketing, web and social media marketing, and additional funds for the first three months of operation.
For a multi-unit developer planning to open three Baya Bar shops, the estimated initial investment ranges from $226,915 to $487,900. This includes a development fee of $62,500 and other expenditures for the first shop ranging from $174,415 to $435,400. The FDD notes that costs associated with building out additional shops are subject to factors that Baya Bar cannot estimate or control, such as inflation, increased labor costs, or increased materials costs.
It's important to note that these figures are estimates, and the actual costs may vary significantly based on factors like the size and condition of the premises, local economic conditions, and the franchisee's management skills. The estimates also do not include any debt service. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and conduct thorough due diligence to determine their potential investment.
