Thank you for your interest in Junglee Fun Ltd. I am now pleased to
enclose our Prospectus for your attention.
Junglee Fun is a wonderful new franchise opportunity available in the
United Kingdom, which offers you the opportunity to build a lasting and
profitable business.
Since April 2001 we have been developing a kids and parents
entertainment system that offers excitement and fun for everyone involved.
Once you have had a look at the enclosed information, I believe you
will agree that Junglee Fun is a timely opportunity that has great potential
for you!
Please complete the enclosed questionnaire (this is not a franchise
application form) and return it to Junglee Fun
as soon as possible. Having received
your information we will then contact you to invite you along for an informal
discussion about the franchise opportunity.
The meeting will be relaxed and informal, and at this stage no
commitment is required from either party.
If following the meeting you feel ready to make a commitment, you may
reserve an area with £2000 deposit and a target completion date would be set.
Alternatively we may both feel that more consideration is required
before a final acceptance can be made.
Please call me if you need any further information.
Yours sincerely,
Samantha Rollo
Samantha Rollo
Franchise Development Manager.
Anyone who has ever tried to entertain a bored child and still have a
chat with a friend will know how difficult it can be to do both. But our
concept may be just the solution.
Junglee Fun is the brainchild of Samantha Rollo, a woman determined to
solve her own problem of somewhere great for lunch or a coffee that was also
great fun for her kids.
“I always seemed to be chasing my toddlers around and only managing a
few minutes chat with friends”, “And I could see it was the same for others
too, so I started to explore the idea of combining good home cooking alongside
safe play for the kids.”
I wanted somewhere safe and totally child friendly, so I have put the
emphasis on a good fun environment where parents will feel welcome and happy to
bring their kids. We also delight in
organising, and hosting children’s parties.
The food on the menu is freshly prepared and great value, but it is the
play area where all the fun is for the children, bouncing around in a multi
coloured Jungle themed soft-play area under the ever-watchful eyes of staff and
parents.
Customer care is not a new concept at Junglee Fun as Samantha spent
many years as an Airline Cabin Crew Manager for before branching out into
self-employment.
The café is open to all, whether or not they bring children, as is the
small shop which stocks wooden toys, handcrafted cards, books, personalised
frames and lots more.
Vision! Our vision is to expand worldwide starting
in the UK. We are committed to fulfilling
this vision through franchising, and you could be a part of this exciting and
fun company.

The initial franchise fee required to become a Junglee Fun Ltd business
owner is £10,000. In addition there is
a monthly Management Service Fee of 8% of turnover payable for on-going support
and advice.
The initial fee represents the amount payable for the licence to
operate the Junglee Fun system within a given territory. This fee also includes
help and advice on site selection, site fit-out, initial training in our
training unit and post-opening assistance at your own site, operations support
and the loan of the various manuals required to run a Junglee Fun franchise opportunity.
Whilst at this very early stage it is difficult to give exact figures
on the amount of capital required, an initial indication of the start up cost
is £25 per sq ft.
A general indication of some of the areas which will incur a cost are
given below.
All the above are dependant on the size of operation; detailed costs
will be provided for each Franchise.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM JUNGLEE FUN
TRAINING
It is essential that you feel confident when you start your business,
as this reassures customers and promotes your professional entertainment
business to its best advantage.
We have therefore tailored a specialised 10-day training programme at
our training unit that encompasses every aspect of the business. There is also a
separate customer service skills course. This will include “in house” training
sessions, in the Junglee Fun Café, as well as live party experience.
We appreciate that entering a new business can be daunting. However,
once you have the necessary knowledge and confidence, together with the ongoing
training and support you are ready for the excitement and challenges ahead.
You will not need any prior knowledge or experience in the field of
entertaining children.
Training is comprehensive and includes not only entertaining skills but
also the development of the business generally, with sales, marketing, finance,
health and safety, recruiting and managing staff and administration being
included. You will also meet and make valuable contact with the support staff
and other new franchisees.
ONGOING SUPPORT
From day one a team of experts is dedicated to helping you establish
and grow your business and will support you. You will be introduced to a suitable
banking partner if necessary, and provided with help and advice in setting up
and running your office.
After set-up, ongoing support includes quality reviews together with
marketing and public relations support. Accountancy support, advice reviews and guidance are all part of the package. The
support includes our buying power, as we can source the equipment needs on very
advantageous terms. Alongside this, annual meetings, telephone support,
newsletters and the JUNGLEE FUN Internet site will help you as your business
grows.

It is difficult to generalise return on investment on the Junglee Fun
business as factors such as business turnover and related profit margins will
depend on variables which are under the franchise owners direct control, such
as the days worked, size of operation, franchisee’s own efforts, pricing
strategy, etc.
