Fatburger is looking for qualified individuals or groups to help expand Fatburger nationwide. Franchise and joint venture opportunities exist
for multi-unit operators.
NET WORTH REQUIREMENTS 
Fatburger requires a minimum net worth of $1,500,000 (excluding automobiles, furnishings and personal residences), with a minimum of $500,000 in liquid assets. Liquid assets are defined as those which can be converted to cash within thirty (30) days.
The cost of establishing a Fatburger restaurant will vary according to the size of the facility, relative land issues and the extent of necessary leasehold improvements. Twenty-five percent of the total cost must be funded from personal resources. The remainder may be funded through traditional financial institutions or our approved lending sources

These ongoing services include continued use of the Fatburger name and trademark, operational support, marketing assistance, training programs, and other benefits of being a Fatburger franchisee.
ADVERTISING FEE
Each Fatburger restaurant (franchise-owned and company-owned) contributes 2% of net sales to the national/regional advertising fund. This fund is used to build recognition and
acceptance of the Fatburger name and recognition. This is intended to benefit everyone
who is a part of the Fatburger team. All restaurants also spend at least 2% of net sales on local marketing.
