Question 1

Am I buying the machines?

Accepted Answer

No. Every MuscleBox Pro machine remains the property of MuscleBox Pro. The franchise investment buys the contractual right to develop and operate the network in your territory, using machines we own, supply and support. You can move them between approved locations and replace an underperforming gym, but you cannot sell one, transfer it, or use it outside the MuscleBox Pro ecosystem. On exit or termination the machines come back to us.

Question 2

What do the two franchise tiers cost?

Accepted Answer

The Territory Franchise is ₹25,00,000 with 5 machines and rights to a defined geographic territory. The City Franchise is ₹50,00,000 with 10 machines and city-level development rights. Larger regional structures may be introduced later.

Question 3

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

For the Territory Franchise, in two equal halves: ₹12,50,000 at franchise registration and ₹12,50,000 when your machines are ready at the OEM. The City Franchise follows the agreed commercial structure, generally linked to the same two milestones, with the exact schedule set in the definitive agreement.

Question 4

How does capital recovery work?

Accepted Answer

Until you have received cumulative eligible protein-business profit of ₹25,00,000, 100% of the applicable MuscleBox Pro distributable protein-business profit from your machines goes to you. After that the split moves to 50:50 and you keep participating for the life of the franchise. The City Franchise threshold is set in its own agreement.

Question 5

Does advertising income count toward my capital recovery?

Accepted Answer

No, and this is the term people most often read the other way. Advertising profit is shared 25% to you and 75% to MuscleBox Pro from day one, it is calculated after applicable advertising costs, and it does not reduce your remaining recovery amount. It also does not stop when recovery completes. Protein and advertising are two separate streams throughout.

Question 6

What costs come off before my share is calculated?

Accepted Answer

Franchise profit is worked out on the real economics of running a local network, so more than just the cup: protein cost, cup and consumable cost, transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, machine movement, payment processing charges, direct operational expenses, product wastage or spoilage, other directly attributable operating costs. That is deliberately a longer list than the one used for a gym's own profit share, which is limited to protein cost and cup and consumable cost.

Question 7

Is my territory genuinely exclusive?

Accepted Answer

Exclusivity is real but conditional. It depends on keeping the required number of machines active, meeting deployment timelines and performance requirements, maintaining operating standards and complying with the agreement. A franchisee cannot pay for a city, leave most of it undeveloped and block us from expanding. Certain strategic and national accounts are also reserved to MuscleBox Pro.

Question 8

Who finds the gyms?

Accepted Answer

Both of us. We pass on leads, existing network opportunities and the standard gym commercial framework. You identify and approach gyms in your territory, build the local relationships and recommend new or replacement locations. Every location needs our approval before a machine is deployed.

Question 9

Who sets the price of a shake, and the gym's cut?

Accepted Answer

MuscleBox Pro does. Consumer pricing, promotional pricing, formulations, product configuration and the gym profit-sharing model are all centrally controlled. Gym arrangements run at splits such as 80:20 or 50:50 depending on the location. You maintain the relationship with the gym, but you cannot commit us to a different structure.

Question 10

How do I know what I have actually earned?

Accepted Answer

Every customer payment runs through MuscleBox Pro's own payment and accounting infrastructure, which is what makes machine-level revenue tracking possible. Your dashboard shows machine-wise sales, revenue, consumption, gym share, operating costs, advertising income, distributable profit, payouts and how much of your capital recovery is left. You may also have reasonable audit and information-review rights over your own machines, as set out in the agreement.

Question 11

What am I responsible for locally?

Accepted Answer

We deliver machines and protein to your warehouse and run the technology, supply chain and support. Everything after that is yours: storage, transport, moving machines between locations, gym relationships, your own team, and keeping every machine working and stocked. That last part is the daily job. You check the machines, top up protein, refill cups and approved supplies, clear expired stock, keep the machine and its area clean, act on platform alerts and report faults quickly. You cannot pass that work to the gym, its staff or anyone else without our written approval. These costs are included in the franchise-level profit calculation.

Question 12

Can I add machines later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to approval. Expansion normally happens in blocks, based on the performance of your existing machines, your compliance, territory capacity and the availability of suitable gyms. The price for additional machines is set at the time of expansion and is not fixed at your initial per-machine investment, because OEM pricing, logistics and taxes move. Additional machines do not by themselves enlarge your territory.

Question 13

Is technical support charged separately?

Accepted Answer

Not during your capital recovery period. Remote diagnostics, troubleshooting, software and firmware updates, technical guidance, OEM coordination and warranty handling are provided without a separate technical service fee while you are recovering your investment, subject to the definitive agreement. Machines are covered by applicable OEM warranty arrangements and issues are reported to us rather than to the OEM.

Question 14

Can I transfer or exit the franchise?

Accepted Answer

Both are possible with our prior approval. A transferee has to meet our financial, operational, compliance, brand and territory requirements, and a transfer never carries machine ownership with it. On an approved exit we take the machines back, franchise rights may revert to us, protein inventory is handled per the agreement and outstanding obligations remain payable.

Question 15

Are returns guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. Nothing in this page is a guarantee of returns, profitability or business performance, and it is not the franchise agreement. Actual results depend on machine utilisation, gym locations, customer demand, pricing, operating costs, local market conditions, advertising demand and your own performance. Take independent legal, tax and financial advice before signing anything.
