3.  Real Estate and Leasehold Improvements:  $10,000 to $20,000

• You must obtain and maintain business space that meets Skingevity’s requirements. Leases will vary in rental amounts, terms, amount of space required, tenant improvements required, and security deposit and advance rental.

• If you rent real estate for your premises, you may be liable for the entire term of the lease whether or not your Franchise is successful. You should therefore have your attorney review your lease documents before signing.

• Skingevity will, on request, send a representative to assist you with your acquisition, at your cost.

• If you or your Landlord requests changes from Skingevity’s standard design and/or materials, your costs are likely to be higher. Consider this as you examine possible premises.

• Some landlords will finance improvements by amortizing them over the term of a lease, with a higher rental amount to cover costs. You should be aware of this and estimate your costs accordingly, before you decide on premises.

• If you take over an existing licensed business’s premises, Skingevity may require remodeling, redecoration, etc. in compliance with its specifications and at your cost. This includes but is not limited to furniture, fixtures, interior and exterior paint, and landscaping.

9.  Grand Opening:  $3,000 to $8,500

• Skingevity recommends, but does not require, that you hold a grand opening, designed for your community and competitive situation.
