Franchisees can be expect a monthly turnover of R80 000 to R150 000 or upwards. At these levels, net earnings would be in excess of 20% depending on turnover, selling prices and vehicle financing arrangements.
Franchise royalty fees are R1 000 per month, subject to annual review.

FRANCHISEE PROFILE
The potential franchisee will enjoy visiting clients and assisting with their window decor requirements in terms of fabrics, material, styling, accessories, etc. They will receive professional short course decor training to add to their knowledge, and thorough product training from Curtain and Blind Studio to enable them to make the sale. They may do the installation themselves or have outside help to do it on their behalf. Previous experience is not essential.
Though the franchise is relatively new, it has been professionally constructed and extensively trialled in South Africa by suppliers who have been in the window treatment business for many years. The franchise network is growing, but several prime territories are still available.
