• Is there any financial assistance in dealing with Shaver Shop?
We are currently working with NAB and ANZ to secure Accreditation status which will allow for unsecured amounts to be borrowed against the business on a case by case basis.

• What training will I get?
We have a fully functional Training Store at our Head Office in Doncaster. Franchisees will undergo one week of training here and then have 2 weeks in their own store with our New Store Support Manager. This is in addition to the ongoing support from the Regional Manager.

• Do I have to put down a deposit?
In association with completing the Application Form a $2,000.00 Trust Deposit is included. This is fully refundable up until the point where legal documents are drafted towards the end of the process.

• Can I choose my own site?
It is critical that the Franchisee conducts their own independent research into the site and agrees that it is a worthwhile location. We take the Head Lease on all our sites and our Leasing Department conduct extensive research into where we believe our stores should be located.

• What are the ongoing fees?
There is a Marketing Fee of 4.4% which contributes to the national campaigns and associated promotional material, and Royalty Fee of 6% gross weekly turnover that covers the ongoing support services from Head Office.

• What does the ongoing support entail?
As well as the initial New Store Support Manager involvement you will have a dedicated Regional Manager visiting your store. Along with this are our Department heads in Franchising, Buying, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Administration to work with you in developing your business.
