compensation for you and your employees during the training program. These expenses will range from $6,000 to $10,000, depending

Landlord

 

Text Box: premises. Rent payments may or may not include site preparation and build-out costs, which wit) depend on the arrangements that you negotiate with your landlord. Typical Buffalo Wings & Rings Restaurants will be located in strip mall buildings in suburban commercial areas, preferably near single- or multi-family housing, universities, hospitals, office buildings, and other commercial areas. The estimates assume that you will lease space for your Franchised Restaurant and, therefore, do not include costs related to the purchase of land or the construction of any buildings. If you purchase and/or construct a site for the Franchised Restaurant, your initial costs will likely be significantly greater than the estimates in the chart. You will probably be required to pay a normally refundable security deposit, which is reflected in the above chart.
24	The costs for leasehold improvements will vary depending upon several factors, including the geographic location of your Franchised Restaurant, the size of the premises (as noted above, our estimates are based on locations of approximately 3,000 to 4,500 square feet), the availability and cost of labor and materials, the condition of the premises, and the work that the landlord will perform as the result of lease negotiations. Landlords may, instead of performing some of the work, provide you with credits towards your future rent payments and/or a tenant improvement allowance. We will provide you with standard plans and specifications for a prototype Buffalo Wings & Rings Restaurant. You will be responsible for adapting the prototype plans to your particular location, complying with all laws applicable to the site (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act), and obtaining all zoning clearances and building permits and certificates. The figures are based upon a landlord contribution of $25 to $35 per sq. ft. of tenant improvement allowance.
25	Signage includes interior and exterior signs that bear our proprietary marks. The cost of signage will vary depending upon the type, size, and location of the signs, and may also be affected by local restrictions. You will be required to erect or affix an exterior sign to the Franchised Restaurant and a freestanding sign near the road on which the Franchised Restaurant is located.
26	Includes small wares, interior decor, uniforms, etc.
27	You should have approximately $15,000 to $20,000 of additional funds for such expenses as payroll costs and working capital, for the first 3 months of operation. In formulating the amount required for additional funds, we relied upon the experience of our predecessor, Wings & Rings Franchise International, Inc., in operating and franchising Buffalo Wings & Rings Restaurants for 20 years. Franchisor''s experience since 2005, and other factors described in this paragraph.. These figures are estimates and we cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting the business. This estimate does not provide for an owner''s draw. You must have additional monies available, whether in cash or through a line of credit, or have other assets which you may liquidate, or against which you can borrow, to cover your personal living expenses and any operating losses sustained during the start-up and development stage of your business. The amount of necessary reserves will vary greatly from franchisee to franchisee depending upon many factors including your personal requirements, the Net Sates and success of your business, which will be affected by how much you follow BWR methods and procedures, your management stall, experience and business acumen, local economic conditions, the local market for our menu items, and competition. You may also incur expenses for business license fees, legal fees, accounting tees, and local permits and operating authorizations necessary to start your business, which may vary considerably from one area to another.
28	The total figures listed in the above charts do not include an owner''s draw, compensation for your time or labor, or real estate costs, and may not include the full cost of an alcoholic beverage license. Nor do the total figures take into account any finance charges, interest, debt service obligation, or other costs that you may incur to finance all or any portion of your investment In addition to the initial investment itemized in the chart above, you must have additional monies available, whether in cash or through a line of credit or have other assets that you may liquidate, or against which you can borrow, to cover your persona) living expenses and any operating losses sustained during (he start-up and development stage of your business. You should review these figures carefuQy with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase the franchise. We do not offer direct or indirect financing to franchisees for any item. The availability and terms of financing will depend upon your credit worthiness, collateral that you may have and the lending policies of financial institutions.
