Proven business model

  • Initial training and ongoing procedure updates
  • Limited competition
  • Stock and pricing advice from experts
  • Ongoing support including intranet and business services
  • Hands-on store identification, design and outfit
  • Bespoke EPOS designed especially for buying, selling and exchanging goods

Investment requirement

£60,000+ capital plus the ability to raise the balance (total investment of £200,000 to £250,000 required of which most will go towards stock & shop fitting).

Huge potential market

The UK has more mobile phones than people, with customers upgrading yearly. As the range of DVD movies has grown, so has the market for movie collecting. The video/console games market, too, has developed from a niche pastime to a mainstream entertainment medium. We trade in videogames, DVDs, mobile phones, digital electronics, computing and vision products, and music CDs; all of which combine to represent the Complete Entertainment (X) Exchange CeX.

Buy Back Guarantee

Subject to conditions, CeX will refund stock, shop build and fit costs, and take over the store management and running costs should the franchise not meet the franchise owners' expectations

We're so confident that you will be satisfied with CeX franchise that we offer a Buy-Back Guarantee if you're not. See page 20 for details about the CeX franchise.
