Break even for our facilities depends on the rent amount and finance payment (90% of overhead). Break even for our locations ranges from $6,000 to $12,000 per month depending on square footage of location, commercial real estate prices in their area, and loan terms. In any case, this is a favorable overhead figure and most of our locations have been able to sign up a handful of corporate memberships up front that sustain them until their individual membership base grows over the next couple of months. Once our locations achieve 40 members or so, they are much more comfortable and on average this takes about 2 months to do. After 4-5 months, the location should be closer to 65-75 members ($225/each)and should be consistently selling at least one new corporate membership per month. Our expectation is that locations will be doing between $15,000 and $25,000 in monthly revenue after 6-8 months of operation. Given the break even points listed above, you can see that established locations should operate with a $5,000 to $12,000 monthly gross profit within the first year...which equates to approximately 40% to 50% profit margin., override_brand_summary_image=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/13336312328/additional_background?variant=large, sales_contact_last_name=Henderson, services_image_top_large=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/13336312328/services_image_large, main_contact_is_contract_signer=No, franchise_fee=50000, sks_number_of_franchisees=9, semi_absentee_ownership=Yes, two_minute_drill_url=https://www.franchisesidekick.com/two-minute-drills/the-back-9, year_founded=2021, hs_pipeline=11403875, industry=Indoor Golf , franchise_offering_components=Small Staff (5 or fewer employees per location);Recurring Revenue Model (membership, subscription);Technology-driven;A physical location is required (retail or office location), hs_object_source_label=FORM, registration_maryland=Registered, contract_signer_first_name=Wil, currently_franchising=Yes, website=https://thebackninegolf.com/, secondary_contact_email=jed@thebackninegolf.com, preferred_funding_partner=Huntington Bank, royalty_external=8%, corporate_location=1240 East 100 South Suite 1, St. George, Utah 84790, functions_of_semi_absentee_owner=They will be asked to spend 10-15 hours a week on growing the business.
