Starting up a brand store requires an investment of around € 500,000. The ambition of the company is to open 6-7 stores in the Netherlands, which amounts to a total investment of € 3,000,000 to € 3,500,000, which in part will be financed by the operations.
A strong candidate should therefore have a capital of at least € 1,500,000 to ensure the set-up of this Multi-Unit operation.
