frequently asked questions

  1. What is the total investment needed to own a Soul Origin Store?

    The initial investment for a site depends on a range of factors, including the site location, size, and lease terms. The initial investment can range from $280,000 to $340,000 plus GST.

  2. How do I obtain financing?

    Most franchisees will need to obtain a loan in order to purchase their franchised business. Joining a well-established franchisee network is often looked at favourably by banks making it easier to obtain financing.

    Soul Origin has developed strong relationships with a number of major banks across Australia to help prospective franchisees obtain financing. If you would like us to help facilitate introductions, please contact us.

  3. How long does the whole process take?

    Once approved, you could be operational in as little as 3 months. During that time, your store will be built and you will complete 4 weeks of training.

    Your cooperation with the franchising team will ensure your application progresses as quickly as possible.

  4. Do I need prior experience in the retail food business?

    We do not require any previous retail food experience although prior experience can be valuable. Soul Origin will provide comprehensive infield training ensuring you have all the tools to succeed. The passion and drive of the franchisee is always the most important element of success.

  5. As a franchisee, am I required to actively operate my store?

    Yes. For a store to be successful, it is essential that the franchisee is personally involved in all aspects of the business. You must be willing and able to perform all sales, food prep and management functions which will require a significant time investment. Running a store is a mandatory requirement for Soul Origin franchisees.

  6. Are there opportunities for multi-site development?

    Yes, however to be eligible, you must be a franchisee who has a proven track record of success and demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the brand. We have several very successful multi-site operators in our network and continue to work closely with franchisees who wish to expand.

  7. Will I be able to sell my store in the future?

    Yes, your store is yours to sell. Your franchise agreement outlines the requirements for a sale, and the prospective buyer will need to go through our standard recruitment and selection process.

  8. Do I need citizenship or residency?

    Yes. All Guarantors and Owners must be a citizen or permanent residents of the country in which the store is located.
