| Q: How much does a Depilex franchise cost? |
A: Typically, new Salon costs depend on the size of the Salon facility, area of
territory, pre-opening expenses, inventory, equipment, signage, and style of decor
and landscaping.
These costs are paid to suppliers. In addition, at the time of opening,
an initial fee
is paid to Depilex for every new salon |

| Q: Will Depilex finance the remaining balance of the cost of the franchise? |
A: No. Depilex does not provide any financing. The remaining cost may be
financed through a bank. |
| |
Q: May I obtain the funds to purchase a franchise from a relative, friend
or associate?
|
A: The answer is no as they would then involve you in a type of partnership.
We do not franchise Salons to partners or investors.
An individual must personally meet the financial qualifications and be willing to
devote his or her full time and best efforts to the day-to-day operation of the salon.
A franchisee must detachhimor herselvesof all other active business interests. |
| |
| Q: What is the availability of opportunities in my city or province? |
A: The availability of franchises in specific geographic areas must be discussed
with Depilex franchising personnel in the specific area for which you have interest.
However, as you can appreciate, Depilex cannot predict which locations will be
available when your training is complete. Therefore, geographic flexibility is a
characteristic we seek in candidates. |
| |
Q: Will Depilex buy a piece of property that I own and then sell me the
franchise for that location?
|
A: Our franchisee selection process does not play a part in our
site selection. In other words, we develop a location because we
think it will be successful and without regard to whom the franchisee
may be. Depilex does all of the site evaluation and selects the location.
The franchisee is responsible for equipping the facility with all necessary
items of Salon equipment, seating and decor, signs and landscaping, etc. |
| |
| Q: How much money will I make? |
A: Profitability varies depending upon a number of factors,
including sales, location, occupancy and operating costs and the
ability of the franchisee to manage and control the business.
Questions related to profit and losses are discussed during a later stage of the
selection process. |
