What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for the Startup Package ranges from $4,654 to $4,704. This is a one-time, lump sum payment that is due before opening the Itan salon. The payment is made to Itan's affiliates. The items included in the Startup Package are listed in Item 5 of the FDD.
Startup packages are a common requirement in franchising, designed to ensure brand consistency and operational readiness. The relatively narrow range of this particular startup package suggests that Itan has a well-defined set of initial supplies and equipment that all franchisees must have.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 5 of the FDD to understand exactly what is included in the Startup Package. Understanding the contents of the package will allow franchisees to assess whether the cost is justified and if there are any opportunities to negotiate with Itan or its affiliates.
