Road to Opening

Your road to opening day

Here’s every step from idea to open doors. Your Turn-Key kit covers steps 2 through 4 (design, estimate, proforma, financing package, and loan & lease support) plus the budget check in step 5 and your SOPs playbook for step 10. For any other step, you can add consulting support from us and our licensed partners, only if you need it.

Turn-Key Business Kits provides consulting, estimating and financing packages. Architectural design, stamping, permit submittals and construction are performed by licensed partners. Availability of stamped drawings depends on the partner’s license in the project state. Turn-Key is not an architecture firm. Approvals and timelines are set by state and local agencies. Tax, payroll and bookkeeping services are provided by our bookkeeping partner.
