Massage Business Opportunity

According to articles published by the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association), in 2013 the massage therapy industry reached between $8 to $10 billion.

Employment of massage therapists is expected to grow by 20 % from 2010 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. Continued growth in the demand for massage services will lead to new openings for massage therapists. - Bureau of Labor Statistics

​​Here are some of the challenges with being in a franchise system:

• Massage Franchise costs range between $350,000 to $600,000 per franchise location just to open.​​
• Mandatory monthly royalty fees ranging between 6% - 7% of the gross sales. The harder you work, the more money your center is bringing in, the more you are paying to the Franchisor.
  
• Mandatory monthly marketing budgets up to $15,000/month.
  
• High mandatory grand opening budgets up to $20,000
  
• All supplies and marketing materials must be purchased through the franchisor at a premium cost. The mark-up on these is usually 100% - 200%.
  
• Quarterly on-site evaluations where you are graded based on how well you are following the system.
  
• Location choices are limited. Most of the good markets and prime locations are already taken.
  
• Multiple costs for multiple locations. You have to pay a franchise fee per territory, plus royalties for each location.
  
• You must sign a 10 year UFDD (Uniform Franchise Disclosure Document:
• contract that the franchisor doesn't even have to renew your contract after that.
  
• During this 10 year contract period, you will pay the franchisor between $300,000 - $600,000 in royalties per location! ​
  
• By signing the UFDD you relinquish most of your rights. The franchisor can take away the license or charter if they decide you are not following the system and re-sell your territory.
• You are “renting” this concept/business for 10 years. You do not own it all by yourself. You have a business partner (franchisor) that has majority control.
