FOR FRANCHISE CANDIDATES
WHICH CRAYS VENTURE FITS THE BUSINESS YOU WANT TO OPERATE?
CRAYS Franchise brings four distinct operating opportunities under one umbrella: Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs. Around them, the wider CRAYS ecosystem is designed to connect identity, community, real places and specialist contributors through separately approved relationships. Compare each Venture's operating context, property profile and own-capital entry, then see whether a released, location-backed Prepared Deal is available. Where assigned, a Deal Manager guides your evidence review. Franchise award, financing, return and opening remain separately assessed and are never guaranteed.
FIND YOUR OPERATING FIT
FOUR VENTURES. FOUR DIFFERENT BUSINESSES TO OPERATE.
Start with the customer experience, property pattern and operating responsibility that fit you. Public area and own-capital indicators help orientation; they are not total investment figures, eligibility decisions or franchise awards.
COMPARE THE FOUR CONCEPTS- 01
Coffee
Compact, design-led coffee service for Candidates drawn to fast hospitality, ordering, loyalty and repeatable daily operations.
- 02
Retail
A developing destination-retail opportunity. Confirmed public entry indicators are available; assortment, automation, fulfilment and format economics remain in definition and must not be assumed.
- 03
Gym
A technology-supported performance and training business with a distinct member experience that remains on the CRAYS Gym customer frontend.
- 04
Clubs
A larger premium hospitality, work/live/play and membership environment spanning rooms, bookings and events.
PREPARED DEALS
EVIDENCE FOR THE DECISION AHEAD
A Prepared Deal is a reviewed, versioned proposition for one property and one CRAYS Format. It shows what is sourced, what remains an assumption and which question comes next. Preparation supports evaluation; it does not mean that the property, franchise, funding, return or opening has been approved.
- 01
Property
Layout, access, visibility, technical and planning context—each with source, date, status and open questions.
- 02
Market
Catchment, access, travel patterns, surrounding uses and dated signals—never a demand guarantee.
- 03
Commercial
The current property basis, key terms, dependencies and unresolved conditions, while negotiations remain private.
- 04
Financial
Versioned costs, assumptions, capital needs and scenarios—not promised outcomes or lender approval.
- 05
Design
Measured geometry, test fits and labelled visualizations—not permits, final specifications or cost commitments.
- 06
Opening
Approvals, procurement, build, systems, training and readiness as dependencies—not a promised opening date.
Public summaries, Candidate-released evidence and lender-released evidence are separate scopes.
RELEASED OPPORTUNITIES
THE NEXT PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY IS STILL BEING PREPARED.
CRAYS publishes an opportunity only after a public summary has been explicitly approved for release. The CRAYS.pro public Deal Marketplace is not yet released, so no deal count, location, economics or availability is shown. You can still compare the four Ventures and continue your Candidate relationship without starting KYC.
YOUR DECISION PATH
FROM FIRST LOOK TO PARTNER HANDOFF—WITH A CLEAR GATE AT EVERY STEP.
You control when evaluation becomes intent. Browsing, account creation and ordinary evidence review do not start KYC.
- 01
Discover
Compare the four Ventures and inspect only a released public summary—or the honest zero state.
- 02
Account & relationship
Continue through the CRAYS Portal. An account confirms identity; CRAYS separately reviews the Candidate relationship.
- 03
Released evidence
Review only the property, market, commercial, financial, design and opening evidence explicitly released to your Candidate scope.
- 04
Ask & compare
Where assigned, use the Deal Manager to test sources, assumptions, open questions and next steps without creating intent.
- 05
Choose to progress
Deliberately record reservation, purchase or financing intent for one specific opportunity and purpose.
- 06
Checks & handoff
Only after CRAYS opens the relevant regulated gate do applicable KYC, equity, source-of-funds or credit steps begin. Agreements and required handoff gates come later.
WHAT AN ACCOUNT CHANGES
ONE ACCOUNT DOES NOT OPEN EVERY DEAL.
AFTER RELATIONSHIP APPROVAL AND RELEASE
- Maintain your Candidate profile and preferences.
- Review only assigned and explicitly released opportunity evidence.
- Keep scoped questions, answers, shortlist and progress together.
AN ACCOUNT ALONE DOES NOT
- Reserve a property or grant a franchise.
- Release every document, model or owner/lender record.
- Create transaction or financing intent.
- Start KYC, equity, source-of-funds or credit checks.
- Open the Franchise Partner workspace.
Authentication confirms who you are. CRAYS Core separately authorizes the relationship, record, document and action.
GUIDANCE WHERE ASSIGNED
ASK THE EVIDENCE. KEEP THE DECISION YOURS.
An assigned Deal Manager can clarify sources, dates, versions, assumptions and open questions inside your released scope. Guidance does not widen access, create intent or guarantee property fit, franchise award, financing, return, timing or opening.
A Deal Manager is assigned only within an approved Candidate opportunity relationship. No named manager, message history or response time is shown publicly.
VALID EVIDENCE CAN REMAIN WITH ITS RECORD
IF A CANDIDATE WITHDRAWS, THE WHOLE CASE IS NOT SILENTLY ERASED.
The affected Candidate–Deal Match closes or changes status. The Candidate profile, Property Opportunity, Property–Format Assessment and versioned Deal Package remain separate, subject to their own validity, release, retention and authorization rules. Another Candidate or another opportunity always requires a new relationship decision and release—never automatic rematching.
YOUR QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE.
What can I see before I create an account?
You can understand CRAYS Franchise, compare Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs, read how Prepared Deal evidence works and inspect only an explicitly released public summary. Until the CRAYS.pro Deal Marketplace is released, the page shows an honest zero state.
Does an account reserve a property or make me a Franchise Partner?
No. An account confirms identity for the later relationship review. It does not reserve an opportunity, grant a franchise, release private evidence, create intent or open the Partner workspace.
What becomes available after Candidate approval?
Only the opportunities, evidence versions, documents and actions explicitly assigned and released to your Candidate relationship. Other Candidates, owners, lenders and internal records remain private.
When do KYC and financial checks begin?
Only after you review released evidence, deliberately record reservation, purchase or financing intent for a specific opportunity, and CRAYS opens the relevant regulated gate. Browsing, account creation, shortlisting and Deal Manager questions do not start those checks.
Does CRAYS or the Deal Manager approve financing?
No. CRAYS may prepare and release a scoped dossier. Each selected lender underwrites and decides independently. Preparation, KYC completion or a Deal Manager discussion is not a financing promise.
YOUR NEXT STEP
COMPARE THE OPPORTUNITY. CHOOSE WHEN TO CONTINUE.
Start with the four Ventures and the public evidence method. When you are ready, continue through the CRAYS Portal for Candidate relationship review. No public action on this page starts KYC or guarantees a released deal.
