PLAN THE LOCATION
Bring the whole Dieppe construction scope into the enquiry
Dieppe’s building-permit guidance lists projects such as changes of use, additions, signage and changes to electrical or plumbing systems. It asks applicants to contact Planning and Development before applying so they have the required information. Use that early discussion to clarify the scope for the franchise premises.
Ask your contractor and equipment suppliers to identify the work around each major asset. A quoted appliance, service station or treatment unit may require connections, installation or room changes that another supplier must price. Keep those interfaces visible rather than assuming each quotation includes the other contractor’s work.
If you are considering a conversion from a different type of premises, confirm the proposed use and site requirements before relying on the unit’s existing condition. Obtain appropriate professional advice for the actual project, and keep outstanding issues separate from confirmed construction prices.
- Describe intended use, signage and system changes in the premises enquiry.
- List installation responsibilities between contractor and equipment suppliers.
- Mark exclusions and unresolved site conditions in the opening budget.
BUILD THE FINANCING CASE
Compare supplier terms as well as supplier prices
For Dieppe franchise financing, establish when deposits, deliveries and final payments occur. Confirm who arranges transport, unloading, installation, testing and training where relevant. Two equipment offers with similar purchase prices can require different amounts of cash before the business can use the assets.
Show how the installation sequence affects opening staff and inventory. Recruiting too early can create payroll while equipment is unavailable; ordering stock before the location is ready can tie up cash. The schedule should explain the planned sequence without assuming every task finishes on the same day.
We use these details to prepare the in-house business plan and lender documents, together with the operating forecast and your investment. For an acquisition, add the seller’s maintenance history and distinguish equipment included in the sale from items to replace. Keep a separate reserve for regular expenses after opening, and test the impact of a delivery or construction delay using actual monthly commitments.
