Ok – let’s get into some details about the Chick-fil-A franchise.
About Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A is the second largest fast-food chain specializing in chicken in the United States. Operating since 1964, Chick-fil-A prides themselves on operating a diner-style restaurant that focuses on their employees. Values are of up-most importance to the Chick-fil-A owners, as they continue to insist that their business remain closed on Sundays.
Chick-fil-A is looking to expand their business locations in a number of “targeted areas,” such as areas in California, Texas, Washington D.C. and many more. The low franchise fee is extremely attractive to franchise purchases. However, it is important to remain wary of the high royalty fees that will be taken from each month’s revenue. In sum, Chick-fil-A has landed a place on Forbes Magazine’s Top 10 Food Franchises at forbes.com
E2 Visa Opportunities
When it comes to satisfying the E2 Visa requirements, it is important to consider the viability and longevity of your E2 Visa Business. Buying a business that is known to be highly successful with high brand recognition is extremely important and places you in a great position to be successful in securing your E2 Treaty Investor Visa.
In order to run smooth operations of your Chick-fil-A franchise, as many as a dozen staff members will be required to run it in shifts. In turn, this requirement for a large staff will no doubt satisfy the employment of 2 US American workers.
Investment Requirements
Starting a Chick-fil-A franchise will require a total investment starting at $130,975 or upwards, depending on the size of franchise and its location.
Net Worth Requirements
Unlike other franchise opportunities Chick-fil-A does not require a showing of your net worth, or a requirement that the franchisee have a net worth of a certain amount.
Liquidity Requirements
It is normal for a franchise to have a Liquidity Requirement, which means a required amount of cash that you will have left on hand available to the business should it ever be required.
For Chick-fil-A, you will need to have an extremely low amount of cash on hand, of $5,000. Continue reading the franchise fee/royalty fees section of this page for further explanation of the low liquidity requirement.
Training Requirements
Since each Chick-fil-A location is a reflection of the Chick-fil-A brand overall, each purchase of a Chick-fil-A franchise includes an extensive training program. This training program, located at the Chick-fil-A headquarters, in Atlanta, Georgia, consists of a multi-week training program lasting four to five weeks.
In addition to the mandatory training program, Chick-fil-A also offers additional development courses and offers franchise support. The Chick-fil-A franchise opportunity prides on their operators ability to handle decisions and reap the rewards of succeeding in a challenging business.
Benefits
The benefits of a Chick-fil-A franchise, start with the low initial start-up costs which allow a franchisee to start-up the location with a lower amount of funds, enabling them to succeed once the business is in operation.
In addition, the family-like organization of Chick-fil-A ensures that their employees and franchise operators are well taken care of which in turn supports employee retention. Lastly, the fact that all locations are closed on Sunday’s allow the franchisee the opportunity to have a dedicated day off that they can count on.
Franchise Fee/Royalty
It is completely normal for a franchise such as Chick-fil-A to require you to pay a small royalty or commission on the business that you generate through use of their franchise name, products, and overall business model.
Chick-fil-A is unique in that it has a very accessible franchise fee of $5,000 to $10,000. Due to this low franchise fee, Chick-fil-A in turn will pay for the land, construction and equipment for the new franchise location and then rent it out to the franchisee for a 15% of sales plus 50% of pretax profit remaining.
Thus, the startup costs for the investment opportunity are extremely low, but instead the franchise owner will be paying higher than usually monthly payments to Chick-fil-A corporate.
