We take great care to ensure you meet the financial qualifications to open a new location – with some of our owners electing to obtain 3rd party financing.
We have relationships with several franchise funding companies who can help you. In addition, our real estate group works to obtain Tenant Improvement dollars to help bring the deal together.

The financial requirements to open a Salons by JC franchise include a 2-million-dollar net worth and $750,000 in liquid assets. Salons by JC is a unique investment that requires only one employee, is recession-resistant, and is highly desired by landlords. Our franchisees are attracted to the mission of supporting entrepreneurs from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds with a simple and attractive real estate model.
Many franchisees begin by purchasing a single-unit franchise agreement. This allows you to search for a location in any market that is not already under exclusive agreement by another franchisee.
Once you sign a lease, a radius protection is established for your salon, which in most markets is 2 miles. After you are up and running, you can purchase subsequent franchise agreements or consider an area development agreement.
The best way to hold exclusive rights to develop and open multiple locations is through an Area Development Agreement. As an Area Developer, you will own the exclusive rights to a set of zip codes based on the number of agreements you purchase.
Demographic data such as population and total income determine the total number of zip codes. The Area Development Agreement allows you the flexibility to retain exclusivity on a set schedule, giving you time to find real estate and develop your market.
