YOUR FRANCHISE PATH
WHICH CRAYS VENTURE FITS THE BUSINESS YOU WANT TO OPERATE?
Choose between four distinct operating opportunities under one CRAYS umbrella: Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs. Compare each Venture's operating context, property profile and own-capital entry, then see whether a released, location-backed Prepared Deal is available. Through separately approved relationships, you can connect your route with identity, community, real places and specialist contributors. 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
Choose a compact, design-led Coffee business if you are drawn to fast hospitality, ordering, loyalty and repeatable daily operations.
- 02
Retail
Explore a developing destination-retail opportunity. You can use the confirmed entry indicators, but assortment, automation, fulfilment and Format economics remain in definition.
- 03
Gym
Lead a technology-supported performance and training business while your members keep their distinct CRAYS Gym customer experience.
- 04
Clubs
Lead a larger premium hospitality and membership environment that spans work/live/play, 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.
Your public summary, Candidate evidence and lender evidence remain in separate release 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. Your account confirms your identity; we separately review your 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. Your approved relationship separately determines which records, documents and actions you can access.
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.
You receive a Deal Manager only within an approved Candidate opportunity relationship. We show no named manager, message history or response time publicly.
VALID EVIDENCE CAN REMAIN WITH ITS RECORD
IF YOU WITHDRAW, YOUR WHOLE CASE IS NOT SILENTLY ERASED.
Your affected Candidate–Deal Match closes or changes status. Your Candidate profile, the Property Opportunity, Property–Format Assessment and versioned Deal Package remain separate, subject to their own validity, release, retention and authorization rules. Any new opportunity or match 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.
