Financial Requirements for Franchise Owners
One way we get to know you better during the franchising process is by completing financial due diligence. It’s important to us that our franchise owners are in the best possible position to reach their financial goals. Individual franchise owners and investment groups have a minimum net worth of $1.5 million and minimum liquidity of $400,000.
A Closer Look at the Numbers
To start, let’s have a look at some of the most important components of our pickleball franchise cost. More information, including details regarding each type of expenditure, is available under Item 7 of our franchise disclosure document (FDD – 2024).
| Type of Expenditure | Low Amount | High Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Franchise Fee | $45,000 | $45,000 |
| Development Expenses | $970,000 | $1,510,000 |
| Operating Expenses | $315,000 | $432,500 |
| Total Estimated Initial Investment | $1,330,000 | $1,987,500 |
After you’ve opened your first location, the initial investment does decrease a bit. For your second location, you’ll be responsible for a reduced franchise fee of $35,000, then a $25,000 franchise fee for any subsequent location.
Throughout the life of your business, you’ll be responsible for certain monthly and annual fees, including a 6% monthly royalty fee and 2% monthly brand fund fee. More information about additional fees can be found under Item 6 of our FDD.
To thank veterans for their service, we offer qualified veterans a 50% discount on our initial franchise fee.
