Returns multiple from a single Bali studio in 18 months. We're licensing the playbook to operators in select cities — with a 100% buy-back guarantee if the math doesn't hit.
Five lines, one decision.
Headline terms
Don't hit break-even in 6 months?
We buy you out — at 100%
of what you put in.
We're not asking you to bet on a pitch deck. We're putting our own balance sheet behind your studio. If the unit economics don't work in your city — that's on us, and you walk away whole.
Plain-English clause
No "subject to performance review." No "discretionary." If revenue minus opex is below zero on month 6, you trigger the buy-back.
Full investment back
We pay back 100% of the cash you wired into the franchise — capital expenditure, setup fees, working capital. Net of revenue you've already collected.
You keep the upside
Beyond month 6 the studio is yours, free and clear. We continue as a service partner — but the equity stops belonging to us.
Three numbers that hold up.
No spreadsheet theatreThe floor — not the average.
The cheapest version of the franchise covers a turnkey single-room studio in a Tier-1 city. Larger formats scale up linearly; we publish the cap-ex line by line.
If we miss it, you get out.
Six months from opening is the deadline that triggers the buy-back. It's the same window we hit in Bali — and we're underwriting yours against the same target.
Our own number, on the table.
Six and a half times the original capital, on a single Bali studio across 18 months. Cohort data, payment ledgers, customer counts — open to investor due diligence.
Bali is the hub. The customers are everywhere.
Worldwide, not localOur clients fly in from twenty-plus countries. The crew flies out for productions in the US, UK, UAE, Australia and across the EU. The Bali studio is a booking magnet, not a geographic ceiling.
For franchise partners that means three things: international demand on day one, a brand that travels, and an operating manual designed for cross-border logistics — not a "local studio" template stretched to scale.
Six things you don't have to figure out.
Turnkey deliveryEquipment kit
Cameras, lenses, lights, sound, teleprompter, edit station — same gear that runs the Bali studio. Spec sheet is part of the deal.
On-site setup
Our team flies out, installs, calibrates and runs the first ten productions side by side with yours. You don't open into a cold room.
Team training
Operator, manager, editor — each role gets a written playbook plus a structured ramp at our Bali base. Hire local; we certify.
Brand & templates
Logo, identity, page templates, social grids, edit presets, brand voice guide. Your studio looks like the Bali one — because it is.
Booking platform
Bookly + Xendit + our internal CRM. Day-one online scheduling, invoicing, reminders, deposits. No SaaS stack to assemble.
Customer flow
Inbound from our Bali pipeline rerouted to your city, plus the paid-ads playbook with creatives in your language. Day 1 traffic, not "build it and they come."
Who this is for.
Honest portraitOperators with a hospitality, digital or video background
You've run a studio, a restaurant, a SaaS, a media house — something where unit economics meet a live customer flow. Pure financial investors fit too, but you'll bring in an operator partner.
$100K+ available without leverage
The minimum ticket is $100,000 in equity capital. We don't accept loans against the studio as the collateral source. The buy-back guarantee assumes you didn't already pledge the cash.
A 12–24 month commitment window
Six months to break-even. Twelve to comfortable margin. Eighteen to the 6.5× multiple. If you need liquidity before that horizon, this isn't the right vehicle.
A target city in our priority list
We open where customer demand and crew supply already exist: Lisbon, Dubai, Barcelona, Mexico City, Tbilisi, Sydney, Tel Aviv. Other cities considered case-by-case.
Comfortable with open-book operations
Monthly P&L visible to both sides. Our fees are transparent. We share customer data, you share booking and revenue numbers. No black boxes.
From wire to 6.5×.

Equity capital lands. We countersign, file the franchise agreement, lock the buy-back clause.
Studio opens
Setup team finishes installation, first paid bookings go live, marketing pipeline switches on.
Break-even — or buy-back
Cash-flow positive on month 6 — partnership continues. Below zero — buy-back triggered, capital returned.
