How much would you invest (cash and loan) for a relatively stable franchise that as a median number produce the following: $1.6mm revenue and $350m gross profit (royalty fees, staff, occupancy but no owner salary or loan amortization). Takes about 6 months ramp to that point.

Your question isn’t entirely clear. If this is an existing franchise owned by someone else, you’ll need to to figure out EBITDA. If you intend to become a franchisee (start from scratch with brand support), you shouldn’t invest any more than the franchise fee and required investment amount in equipment and WC. With franchises, it is advisable to get the FDD (franchise disclosure document) and read it cover to cover. It’s a legal document and give great detail about franchisees in a system, profitability, requirements etc. hope this helps.
