Finance
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? In total a fully-fitted,
fully stocked store will cost in the range of $75,000.00-$100,000.00, inclusive
of VAT, depending on location. Player's Choice does not charge a
licence fee so in essence you are investing that money in yourself and
your business. The Cyber Gaming Zone is extra. It is $20,000.00
for 10 High Speed computers and management software. The Cyber Gaming
Zone will bring in loads of traffic into your store, and on average will
bring in $1,000 - $1,500 in additional revenue per month.
WHAT?S IN IT FOR ME? Turnover is expected to be in the range of $200,000.00 to $500,000.00 per year. Based on our experience of running our company owned shops and established franchise outlets, in 2000 the average store turnover was $300,000.00. Operated on a franchise basis this would produce a net trading profit figure of between $25,000.00 and $50,000.00. (This figure excludes drawings, depreciation or any finance charges). Who Is Ideal
WILL IT SUIT? We are looking for individuals who are able to give a full-time commitment to the business and work in it hands on. You don?t have to be young or a computer whiz but you or family members will probably have an interest in computers and the video games market. You must be prepared to follow our tried-and-tested business format - but we are always looking for improvement and new ideas. You need to have a positive attitude and be enthusiastic about running your own business. As a retailer you must have good interpersonal skills, be prepared to work hard and have lots of common sense. You need to be able to raise the necessary capital and you must have some cash of your own to put into the business. STILL INTERESTED? The first stage is to fill in an inquiry form above. You will then be sent a brochure and questionnaire. Once that is returned you will be invited to visit our stores for an in-depth discussion. Please feel free to contact joint managing directors John McBride or David Pugh for an informal chat or visit any of our stores to talk to the managers or idividual store owners. Player's Choice believes you should have access to everyone within the company. You must be right for us and we must be right for you! |
