Frequently asked questions
What fees are involved in buying a franchise?
There are usually three: the initial franchise fee, royalties, and an advertising fee. Most entrepreneurs look at these separately — yet only together do they show the real size of the monthly burden. The ROI calculator lets you work them out in one place.
What do I need in order to franchise my brand?
Above all, your trademark must be formally registered. Franchising an unregistered brand is like renting out a house you do not own. The next step is measuring readiness and building the manual.
When is a franchise investment considered sound?
The general target: an annual ROI of at least 20% and a payback period no longer than 36 months. You can test your own numbers in the ROI calculator.
Which global brands are not yet in Azerbaijan?
The Franchise Radar catalogue lists brands that have not yet entered Azerbaijan, with investment range, origin, and entry model. You pick the brand you are interested in and the DK team gets in touch.
