The Cavalier brand is well known for creating unique masterpiece suits.
It was started in 2015 in difficult economic conditions and the model has proven resilient despite negative market conditions.
Cavalier is currently the only style and fashion related franchise for sale in South Africa.
It is a limited opportunity to be part of a unique and very niche business. There are likely to only be a handful of stores in South Africa.
The margins on suits and accessories are substantial. This will allow you to recover your initial investment within the first 2 years.
Cavalier primarily supplies custom suits to the wedding market. This has created a niche for us to operate within as we are satisfying a proven need for unique masterpiece suits.
Because our suits are all custom made, it is a Self-Funding model where clients pay deposits before suits are crafted. You will therefore not require large stock holding upfront and will also not have to worry about getting rid of sluggish stock.
A Cavalier store is not labour intensive and only requires 3 people to fully operate unlike food franchises.
