Opening a Bonbon studio typically requires an investment of £268,000+. This includes the franchise fee, fit-out, equipment, initial stock, and working capital.
From signing the franchise agreement to opening your doors, the process usually takes 4–6 months. This covers site selection, lease negotiation, design and build, training, and pre-opening marketing.
