Set-up costs

Of course, there are also a number of other costs to consider, such as leasing and setting up your site, purchasing equipment and initial stock, hiring staff etc.

You will also need to make sure you have a certain amount of working capital available to you to cover hiring staff, purchasing supplies and day-to-day costs while you build up your presence in the local area.

The total capital required to open a Target Sports World franchise depends on the chosen format. Our original model, which includes a live fire range, requires an investment of approximately £344,800 (plus VAT).

However, we now offer a lower-investment format that excludes the live fire element, while still delivering a high-quality, multi-activity experience. This version includes core attractions such as axe throwing, archery, air rifles, and crossbow shooting — all of which continue to attract strong customer interest and repeat business.

The total investment required for this model is approximately £131,000, including setup costs and working capital. Franchisees will typically need a minimum personal investment of around £40,000 to meet funding requirements.

We have prepared a detailed cost breakdown based on our existing locations and would be happy to walk you through this in more detail.

Help raising funds

While the Target Sports World franchise does not provide financing directly, there are a number of attractive options to help you with your investment.

For example, it may be possible to obtain funding from most major high street banks for some of the amount. Franchising is one of the safest and most secure ways of starting your own business, so many lenders rightfully see it as a much lower risk than a completely new start-up, and may be much more inclined to lend you money against your investment.

You may also be eligible for a Start Up Loan of up to £25,000 per director, which can reduce your need for commercial finance.

We are more than happy to point you in the direction of further information.
