The average Massage Therapist charges between $60 and $90 an hour, while the average Spa charges between $90 and $125 an hour.  Zen Massage was brought about as an affordable option for a massage by a high quality massage therapist.  The enterprise was begun with a single room and a single massage therapist.  Within a single month, the business had grown to need a second room and two additional massage therapists.

As the clientele continued to grow, the business continued to grow right along with it.  By the very first summer, the company had grown to four rooms and eight therapists.  Just over two and a half years later, the company finds itself with eighteen massage therapists, ten massage rooms, and four managers within the original ZenMassage Center.

Because of this growth, the company is now able to offer franchise opportunities.  The initial franchise fee is $30,000.  Equipment is expected to cost between $3000 and $5092.  Products and Supplies will cost between $775 and $1083.  Insurance will cost between $1000 and $3000.  Office Supplies are around $200.  Professional Fees and Training Expenses will total between $2000 and $3500.  Marketing is projected to be between $600 and $1000.  The business license will cost between $50 and $200.

Prepaid rent is estimated to be between $5000 and $10,000.  Working Capital should be expected to be between $20,000 and $40,000.  Leasehold Improvements can be expected to come in between $5000 and $70,000.  Grand Opening Advertising is likely to cost between $10,000 and $15,000.  Recruiting is expected to cost between $200 and $800.

All of this together brings the Totals for the initial investment between $78,575 and $182,875.  With this investment, the franchise can expect several things from Zen Massage Center.  These include access to operational systems, location assistance, office design guidance, and equipment ordering guidance.  In addition a training program will be provided, as well as an operations manual, marketing guidance, and periodic evaluations with ongoing support. 

Zen Massage Center will train a franchise in numerous things, including center operations, therapist training, marketing, accounting and financial systems, business growth, and working within a franchised organization.  This will be a five day training course with classroom and on the job training included.  The expectation from initial contact with Zen Massage Center and opening of a franchise should be between 60 and 90 days.
