Accordingly, where the calculation shows that if assumed sales are X and assumed costs are Y, the resulting profit may be Z, this represents only the mathematical outcome of those assumed inputs and does not represent that sales of X, costs of Y, profit of Z, or any other stated outcome will actually be achieved.

Actual sales, costs and results may vary materially depending on location, local demand, competition, staffing, operator involvement, marketing, delivery platforms, customer demand, product mix, wastage, supplier/raw material costs and other factors. The prospective Franchisee must make its own independent commercial and financial assessment and should obtain independent professional advice before making any investment, funding or business decision.

The figures shown in this calculation are not intended to state, suggest or imply that any existing 7th Heaven outlet has achieved, is currently achieving, or is expected to achieve the sales, turnover, profit or other financial outcomes illustrated

  • Marketing and promotional expenditure is an assumed operating requirement and actual expenditure may vary.

Franchise Financials – Notes (applicable for all model types)

IMPORTANT – ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATION ONLY

This calculation is provided solely as an illustrative mathematical tool to demonstrate how different assumed sales, costs and other inputs may produce different financial outcomes. It is not a forecast, projection, estimate, promise, guarantee, warranty or representation in any way of the actual or likely sales, turnover, costs, profit, margin, ROI, break-even period, payback period or other performance of the Franchise Business, nor is any figure represented as typical, average or ordinarily achievable.

Accordingly, where the calculation shows that if assumed sales are X and assumed costs are Y, the resulting profit may be Z, this represents only the mathematical outcome of those assumed inputs and does not represent that sales of X, costs of Y, profit of Z, or any other stated outcome will actually be achieved.

Actual sales, costs and results may vary materially depending on location, local demand, competition, staffing, operator involvement, marketing, delivery platforms, customer demand, product mix, wastage, supplier/raw material costs and other factors. The prospective Franchisee must make its own independent commercial and financial assessment and should obtain independent professional advice before making any investment, funding or business decision.

The figures shown in this calculation are not intended to state, suggest or imply that any existing 7th Heaven outlet has achieved, is currently achieving, or is expected to achieve the sales, turnover, profit or other financial outcomes illustrated

Calculation Assumptions

  • Raw material and supplier prices are assumed for calculation purposes and may change.
  • Marketing and promotional expenditure is an assumed operating requirement and actual expenditure may vary.
  • Staffing levels, labour costs and working hours shown are assumed for calculation purposes and may vary depending on trading hours, order volumes, staffing requirements and the Franchisee's level of involvement.
