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 package includes specific items detailed in Item 5 of the FDD, which a prospective franchisee should review to understand exactly what is included. The franchisee must pay this amount in a lump sum before opening their Itan salon, and payment is made to Itan's affiliates.
This startup package is a mandatory purchase, meaning franchisees cannot opt out or source these items from alternative suppliers. It is important to note that the startup package does not include all inventory items needed to begin operations. Franchisees will need to purchase additional inventory separately, as outlined in the section on Initial Inventory, which estimates those costs separately.
Understanding the contents of the startup package is crucial for budgeting and planning. A potential franchisee should carefully review Item 5 of the FDD to determine the exact items included in the startup package and assess whether they meet the franchisee's needs. It is also important to compare the cost of the startup package with the potential revenue it can generate to determine its value and impact on profitability.
