Question 1

What is a franchise business?

Accepted Answer

A franchise is a joint venture between a franchisor and a franchisee. The franchisor sells the right to use its name, methodology, and supply network. The franchisee buys this right to sell the franchisor's products under an established business model and trademark.

Question 2

Why a DeoDap franchise specifically?

Accepted Answer

Eleven years of supply chain. An established online + offline client base. Ready inventory across Home Improvement, Hardware, Beauty, Toys, and general merchandise — over 10 lakh orders fulfilled to date. You're plugging into demand that already exists, not building it from scratch.

Question 3

Is a franchise business actually profitable?

Accepted Answer

A franchise is a lower-risk model than starting from zero because you inherit brand recognition, supplier relationships, and an existing client funnel. With DeoDap you get direct retail consumers, dropshippers, e-commerce buyers, and wholesale buyers all routed to one location.

Question 4

How many franchise models do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Three live models: DeoDap Wholesale Mall, Master Hub Franchise, and Blue Print Model. Each one is structured around a different ambition — a single mall, a city-level master license, or your own brand on top of DeoDap's catalogue.

Question 5

What is the Master Hub Franchise?

Accepted Answer

Master Hub gives you exclusive rights over an entire city and the ability to grant sub-franchises across your territory. You earn margins on your own sales plus a layer on every sub-franchise you onboard inside your region.

Question 6

What is the Blue Print Model?

Accepted Answer

Blue Print is for franchisees who want to launch their own brand identity. You operate under your own name, get a custom mobile app built for you, and can extend your catalogue with DeoDap product lines — while DeoDap handles supply, training, and systems behind the scenes.

Question 7

What is the total investment?

Accepted Answer

Franchise fee is ₹2,00,000 + tax, renewable every 3 years. Initial inventory purchase to seed the warehouse is ₹8–10 lakh. After that first stock-in, you're not bound to any minimum purchase commitments.

Question 8

What ROI should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Wholesale Mall and Master Hub franchisees typically reach capex payback in ~6 months. Drop-shipping focused models trend toward 8–10 months. Blue Print ROI depends on the brand you build on top of the system.

Question 9

Are there any hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

No. The franchise fee and your initial stock purchase are the only DeoDap-side payments. We disclose everything up front.

Question 10

What is not included in the franchise pricing?

Accepted Answer

GST, packaging materials, and outbound shipping are not included — our pricing is basic / ex-factory. You either use our shipping partners or your own vendor.

Question 11

Is the service charge refundable?

Accepted Answer

No. Franchise fees are non-refundable once the agreement is executed.

Question 12

What support do you actually provide?

Accepted Answer

Catalogue + supply, retail/wholesale/dropshipping client leads, Shopify storefront, marketplace seller account setup (Amazon, Meesho, Flipkart, Shop101, Snapdeal), warehouse software, call-monitoring software, LMS training, banner design, packaging training, margin-calculation training, franchise agreements, and exhibition / road-show support.

Question 13

What's the marketing support like?

Accepted Answer

Your Shopify storefront is built to rank organically. You can plug Facebook / Meta ads directly into it. We share marketing creatives and short-form videos on a daily cadence, and we participate alongside you in exhibitions and trade shows.

Question 14

How do you ship the products?

Accepted Answer

We use multiple shipping partners and route based on destination pincode. You're free to bring your own logistics vendor if you prefer.

Question 15

When is the right time to start?

Accepted Answer

Now. We've built this over 10 years. The model is ready, the supply is ready, the clients are ready. You step in and start fulfilling.
