Franchise fees

In this section, we outline the fees we charge as Rentabox24. We focus only on fees directed to us, and do not discuss investment costs, which will be paid directly to subcontractors and suppliers, or operating costs, such as marketing or ongoing maintenance, which are associated with other suppliers.

We divide franchise fees into two categories: one-time fees and monthly fees.

One-time fees

One-time fees consist of two parts: fixed and variable, depending on the size of the branch premises

Fixed part

The first part is a fixed fee for construction coordination. This is a constant cost, independent of the size of the branch. After signing the lease agreement for the premises (or approving the location if it is owned), the construction phase begins. At this stage, you can fully rely on our experience and commitment, as we coordinate the entire process.

We take care of:

  • Preparation of construction plans and assistance in obtaining necessary permits,
  • Analysis and proposal of layout (unit mix and design),
  • Ordering materials and managing subcontractor work,
  • Ensuring competitive prices through established relationships with suppliers.

The entire process is conducted in an open-book model – the partner signs all contracts and pays invoices, ensuring full cost transparency. Our coordinator oversees the construction process from start to finish, eliminating the need for direct supervision or involvement from the partner.

The fixed fee guarantees professional management and transparency at every stage of the investment, regardless of the project’s scale.

Variable part

The second part of the fees depends on the size of the premises (so also the number of cubicles) and includes key components that ensure the functionality and visual consistency of your branch. Each of these components is necessary for the proper functioning of the business and tailored to the specifics of the location.

  1. Territorial exclusivity – protecting the potential of existing sites

Each partner is guaranteed territorial exclusivity in a specific area. Territorial exclusivity provides the partner with protection from competition in a specific area, which increases competitiveness and profit potential. As a result, a given Rentabox24 affiliate will be the only point in the region.

2. Startup local campaigns, online marketing, creative materials

Marketing support includes promotional activities that increase the new branch’s visibility in the marketplace

  • Local campaigns focused on acquiring initial customers,
  • Setup of online marketing activities, such as social media ads and Google Ads campaigns,
  • Creative materials, including graphic designs and promotional content.

3. Connecting boxes to the access system, creating document templates

Each cubicle is connected to a central access management system, ensuring smooth operation of the facility. In addition, we prepare: document templates, including bylaws, rental agreements and user manuals, adapted to legal and operational requirements.

Monthly fees

Monthly fees also consist of two parts: licensing and marketing.

License fee

This fee covers full operational management, including marketing, sales activities and ongoing support. We are responsible for the implementation of advertising campaigns, customer acquisition and maintenance of quality service. As a result, you don’t have to engage in the day-to-day management of key operations yourself.

Marketing Fee

This is a marketing budget dedicated to a specific location. We create an annual marketing plan, which we analyze and approve together with you. Campaigns are managed flexibly – one month they may be more intensive, another month less so, but we always strive to maintain the overall annual budget with an allowable deviation of up to 15%.

If changes are necessary during the year, new solutions can be implemented upon mutual agreement. Online campaigns, such as Google Ads or SEO activities, are precisely allocated to specific locations, allowing for clear identification of marketing costs for each one. For general activities, such as SEO for the entire network, costs are proportionally divided among partners.

Once the target occupancy level is achieved, marketing costs can be significantly reduced. With a stable customer base, the need for intensive promotional efforts decreases, leading to lower marketing expenses and greater operational efficiency for your location.

Reporting and Transparency

Every month, we prepare marketing performance reports that include key metrics such as the number of clicks, conversions, and leads generated. This gives you full insight into the effectiveness of promotional activities. While we do not provide detailed expense reports on a monthly basis, we ensure flexible budget management, maintaining the freedom to operate within the agreed limits.

Sub-Account System and Financial Flow

To efficiently manage finances within our franchise network, we have developed a system that allows precise management of sub-accounts assigned to each location. This ensures that each franchise has full control over its finances, providing transparency and simplicity in settlements.

Each franchise location has a separate sub-account within our banking system. This setup allows for:

  • Separation of revenue from individual locations, ensuring financial transparency.
  • Integration of the reservation and online payment system with sub-accounts, enabling accurate allocation of payments to the respective locations.

Three main types of payments are credited to the sub-accounts:

  1. Rental fees – the primary income for the partner, from which we deduct a 10% commission.
  2. One-time deposits – held in the sub-account until they are refunded to the client.
  3. Insurance fees – these funds are transferred directly to the insurance provider.

Every month, the partner receives a detailed bank statement and financial report, which includes:

  • Income from rentals,
  • Funds allocated for deposits and insurance,
  • The amount owed to the partner after deducting the 10% commission.

Based on this data, the partner issues an invoice to us for the remaining 90%.
