How much do I need to invest?

A Jasper's franchise has lower set up costs than other well known food franchises, because you don't need expensive retail premises.

The Jasper's franchise fee is £29,997 + VAT. This needs to be provided with liquid capital, the other costs below can be secured through bank loans. We work with the franchising teams at Lloyds TSB, Natwest and HSBC, and can ensure you talk to the right person about starting your Jasper's franchise
You will need to invest £42,000 + VAT to cover the set-up of your production unit
You will also need approx £25,000 in working capital for items such as stocks and supplies, utilities, fuel and wages
As will all franchises, there is an ongoing Management Service Fee. This is 10% of turnover of up to £8,000 per week but the percentage reduces as your turnover rises above £8,000 per week. We believe you should be rewarded, not penalised, for growing your business
