These are not for everyone. If you're looking for a salaried role, or can't commit your own capital, they probably aren't the right fit.

Terms, plainly

No surprises before you sign

Financing

Skin in the game, with help to start.

For selected partnerships, YOUNG can provide a loan, for example for equipment, fit-out or working capital. You always invest part of your own capital. We assess each opportunity individually, and the amount, repayment terms and conditions are agreed personally before anything is signed.

Commercial model

A business that works for both sides.

Before signing, we build a clear commercial plan together covering revenue, costs, investment, responsibilities and fees. Depending on the model, YOUNG earns through a revenue share, licence fee, management fee, product supply or an agreed share of partnership income, so your contribution is rewarded and YOUNG's support creates value after its cost.

Track record

Built on our own experience.

Our foundation includes YOUNG Learning Hotel, YOUNG.Workspaces, YOUNG.Coffee and our hospitality and media businesses. We keep operating our core locations and apply what we learn to new partnerships. In our conversations we share the relevant experience and available figures for the opportunity you're considering.
