Part time / Full time?
Many of our most successful franchisees started their businesses part time. With full time jobs, they worked their businesses to the point that they could do it full time. It is not essential to give up your current occupation to pursue a Gener8 franchise, however it must be said that you will be as busy as a honey bee for your first 2 years.
Investment Required
Our Gold License is a work from a small office or home based office. All the normal business communication tools implemented, you work at leisure and travel to see your clients. Your vehicle is branded; you have a full “external branded pack”.
Platinum License is a retail store. The additional investment includes all the branding necessary for the store, namely window branding, counter and rear wall print.

It should be noted that based on your current monthly financial commitments will determine the capital amount you would require before commencement of the franchise. Many wannabe franchisees start a new business not fully understanding the ramifications of living without an income whilst your business gains momentum. As a general rule, you should have a minimum of 6 months worth of personal expenses in escrow to cover your basic life style costs.
