Franchisees pay a Franchise Fee and Goodwill for existing sites and buy their initial stock, but there are no costs for fuel, equipment or shop fit-out. A guaranteed cent’s per litre (CPL) commission is paid on the volume of petrol franchisees sell with an incentive program for fuel volume lifts. So while competitive fuel pricing can drive more customers to your service station, you have absolute certainty about the income from every litre you sell.
Franchisees pay a royalty on the shop turnover, which is set at a fixed percentage. This means that as you grow the business, you grow your income and goodwill. This royalty payment also includes your rent, all national promotions and POS as well as continued access to process improvements and store upgrades.
