Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateFerns N Petals (FNP) doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.
Likely royalty or revenue share
About 5–10% of store sales, or a fixed monthly minimum*
FNP publishes no royalty. Indian gifting, bakery and flower-retail franchises usually charge either a percentage of sales in this band or a fixed monthly fee, whichever is higher. FNP also routes online orders to stores, so expect a separate commission or margin split on e-commerce orders. Get both in writing.
Category benchmark · Sep 2026
Store sales implied by FNP's profit claim
About ₹2.5–8 L a month*
FNP claims ₹50,000–₹2 L monthly profit. Flower-and-gift stores in our assessment keep roughly 20–25% of sales as operating profit after flowers, florist wages, rent and power, which implies sales of about ₹2.5–8 L a month for FNP's claimed profit range.
