Many jurisdictions require the franchisor to provide Franchise Disclosure to interested Franchisees;
these documents provide all important and relevant information related to the Franchise. You will be provided with Disclosure where required and on timelines that are consistent with Franchise regulations. If through this period of comprehensive due diligence, we agree to proceed to the next stage, we will invite you to visit our Sportball headquarters.

terms have been finalized to the satisfaction of both parties, you will sign the Franchise Agreement.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BECOME A SPORTBALL MASTER FRANCHISEE?
Unlike our defined franchise fees for a North American territory, the value of international franchise territories is based on the size of the territory and its development potential. Typically, international markets are going to include a region of a country or the entire country. Unlike a ‘domestic’ North American territory, your Master Franchise allows you to develop the market both through your own managed operations as well as through the sale of franchises. The ability to sub-franchise will allow you to scale up your territory faster and realize additional revenue streams. Discuss this potential with your Sportball representative.
WHAT CAN I POTENTIALLY EARN?
Many factors play a role in the success of a business, including local market conditions and the skills of the ownership and management group. We will provide information on potential sources of revenue in your market, the types of location opportunities that you may be able to take advantage of, program pricing considerations and the broad elements regarding your cost structure to help your evaluation. This information along with your market analysis should help you to make an informed assessment.
