What Frontier Biscuit Factory Says You Can Earn
Brand claimFrontier Biscuit Factory's own claim — no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.
- Annual return on investmentYearly profit as a share of the total investment.
- 60% – 84%
Frontier says franchisees "have the potential to earn a return on investment (ROI) of 5–7% per month". Converted to a yearly figure by simple multiplication by 12 (60–84% a year). No sample size, outlet sales or profit figures are published, and the figure is not linked to a stated investment amount (₹3 lakh to ₹10 lakh, plus a ₹10 lakh refundable deposit). Treat as an unverified brand claim.
