Answer from 2025 FDD Document

    1. Total Estimated Initial Investment. We relied on the experience of NBC, the former franchisor of Nothing Bundt Cakes franchises, in offering and selling franchises since 2006, as well as our experience since becoming the franchisor in July 2021, in developing these estimates and information provided to us by our franchisees. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor before deciding to acquire the franchise. We do not offer financing directly or indirectly for any part of the initial investment. These are only estimates, and your costs will vary depending on your creditworthiness, market conditions and competition in your territory, the site you select, and your entrepreneurial and managerial capabilities. You should independently investigate the costs of opening a Bakery in the geographic area in which you intend to open. An estimated initial investment will be incurred for each Bakery established under a Development Rights Rider.
