What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cool Binz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated additional funds needed for the first three months of operation range from $25,000 to $35,000. This estimate is designed to cover expenses and working capital during the start-up phase of a single territory. These costs may include payroll (if applicable), additional supplies, utility deposits (such as electric, gas, water, and telephone), and other miscellaneous costs incurred before or shortly after opening.
It's important to note that this estimate does not include rent for the post-opening period, as that is listed separately. Additionally, if a franchisee intends to develop more than one territory, they should anticipate needing more funds than the stated range. The franchisor has relied on the actual expenses, costs, and experience of its affiliate-owned location during its start-up phase to formulate these estimates.
Prospective Cool Binz franchisees should carefully consider these figures and adjust them based on their specific circumstances, such as local market conditions and personal financial situations. It is also important to note that these figures do not include an owner's salary or draw. It also does not include cash requirements to cover operating losses or owner's draw after the initial three-month phase of the franchise. Franchisees should ensure they have sufficient capital or access to credit to cover these additional expenses.
