What’s the Breakdown Cost to Start an iTrip Short-Term Rental Franchise?
As with any small business, starting an iTrip franchise requires an investment in time, resources, and capital. Below are some figures to consider.
- Initial franchise fee: Our opportunity requires that you pay an initial franchise fee, something all franchise brands ask of new owners. This sum varies depending on the brand, and we require $75,000 to get started. This payment grants you the right to do business under the iTrip Vacations name – a registered trademark – and gives you access to all resources, including our time-tested franchise business model, trademarks, logos and other collateral.
- Liquid capital and royalty fee: In addition to our one-time fee of 75K, we require you to have a net worth of $250,000 and access to $200,000 in liquid capital. Financial stability is important, as it can mean the flexibility and peace of mind you need to navigate the challenges of new business ownership. Furthermore, we charge a 5% monthly royalty fee against your gross receipts. Among other things, this amount allows us to continue our ongoing marketing efforts on your behalf and supports our continued research and development.
- Total initial investment: You’ll need to factor in expenses like our monthly technology fee of $540, your own local marketing, office equipment, professional fees, etc. In total, you can expect to pay between $129,075 and $148,375 as your initial investment in an iTrip Vacations franchise.
