For a Cream franchise, what does the Insurance estimate include?

According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the insurance estimate includes the cost of quarterly premiums for the insurance that franchisees must obtain and maintain for their shop, as described in Item 8 of the FDD. The estimated initial investment table in Item 7 shows that the insurance estimate for the first three months is between $500 and $750.

Cream franchisees should note that insurance premiums may be payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. The payment schedule will depend on the insurance company's practices and the franchisee's creditworthiness. This means that while the initial estimate covers three months, the actual payment frequency and amount could vary.

Prospective Cream franchisees should carefully review Item 8 of the FDD to understand the specific insurance requirements, including the types and amounts of coverage required. They should also obtain quotes from multiple insurance providers to determine the actual cost of insurance for their location and business circumstances. Understanding these costs is crucial for accurate financial planning and ensuring the Cream shop is adequately protected.
