Lookumades franchise investment and trading evidence

Canterbury has traded since November 2025. That is a short history, and we will never dress it up. You will see the real figures, and we will encourage you to test them with your own accountant.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
FRANCHISE INVESTMENT
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
What will I see in the financial pack?
Trading history from Canterbury, the costs behind it, and the assumptions in the model for your format, each with its source.
Why do you publish only one figure online?
The turnkey investment is the one number that stays true for every Franchisee. Trading and cost figures need their context, and one store open less than a year cannot support a headline claim, so we show you the workings in person.
Can my accountant review it?
Yes. We encourage it.
Is the pack a forecast?
No. It shows trading history and the assumptions behind a model. It is not a promise of future performance.
