Century 21 franchisees need to develop a solid business plan to estimate potential revenues and expenses. The initial investment for establishing a Century 21 franchise ranges from $106,200 to $451,350 depending mostly on the office location. The initial investment covers a wide range of expenses such as lease, legal expenses, and insurance. Century 21 franchisees are also obliged to pay ongoing fees such as the royalty fee (6% of gross revenue) and property management fees (1.5% of gross revenue from property management services). Joorney Business Plans has experience in developing long-term financial projections for Century 21 franchises across the U.S. taking into account the specifics of the franchise agreement.
