Sevens seeks franchisees for mobile chicken sales

Sevens Kipspecialiteiten is looking for independent business owners to prepare and sell chicken products from a market van. In a presentation on Franchise.be dated 23 September 2026, the company links its recruitment drive to expansion from 22 to 30 weekly trading pitches. The offer stands out in the Belgian franchise sector because Sevens provides the van, equipment and products, reportedly without requiring franchisees to contribute their own capital.

A franchise model built around a market van

The presentation introduces Sevens as a new franchise concept on Franchise.be. This does not necessarily mean that the business or its operating model is only now being launched. The news here is the recruitment of franchisees and the announced increase in weekly trading pitches.

The prospective franchisee’s role is clearly hands-on. Franchisees are responsible for their own market van and for preparing and selling chicken products on site. This is therefore not an opportunity to manage a sales outlet solely from a distance: the role described centres on day-to-day work in the van.

In return, Sevens provides the full business concept. The company says it supplies all the necessary equipment, infrastructure and products. According to the presentation, this means candidates do not need to make large investments themselves or find suppliers. The offer thus combines independent trading with centrally supplied resources.

No personal capital contribution, but still an independent business

One of the most striking elements is the statement that no personal capital contribution is required. For people considering starting a business but hesitant about buying equipment, this is a relevant part of the offer. After all, the market van is the central operating asset of the franchise and, according to Sevens, is provided by the company.

That statement does, however, need to be read carefully. The absence of a required personal capital contribution says nothing about all the potential costs incurred during the partnership. The supplied presentation does not include a full breakdown of costs or the contract terms. It therefore does not establish how much the independent business owner would ultimately retain.

For candidates, the key question is exactly what is included. Anyone exploring this opportunity should seek written clarification of which responsibilities fall to Sevens and which fall to the franchisee. Questions might cover the use and maintenance of the van, insurance and any costs the franchisee must bear. These are points to discuss, not terms confirmed in the presentation.

Invoiced revenue is not the same as take-home income

Sevens describes a fixed working schedule of just over 40 hours a week. Remuneration comprises a fixed amount per hour worked and a variable component linked to sales achieved. The precise amounts and the method for calculating the variable component are not included in the supplied information.

The company also presents the opportunity to invoice at least €100,000 a year, with additional earning potential for stronger results. This figure refers to invoiced revenue, not net pay or net profit. It is also a claim made in the franchise presentation, rather than an independently verified result achieved by an individual franchisee.

Candidates can assess this claim only with a clear understanding of the terms and financial obligations involved in running the business. They should therefore ask how the annual figure is calculated, what level of activity is required to achieve it, and how the fixed and variable payments relate to each other. How the working schedule is spread across the year also needs to be clarified before the quoted figure is used as the basis for a personal financial plan.

More trading pitches, centrally organised support

Sevens reports an increase from 22 to 30 weekly trading pitches and anticipates further growth. These figures refer to pitches: the presentation does not establish the number of market vans or franchisees. The supplied information also lacks a specific list of available locations.

According to Sevens, staff scheduling and organisation are handled centrally, in consultation with the franchisee. This makes the division of responsibilities an important topic for discussion: the business owner is responsible for the van and sales, while some organisational tasks remain with the franchisor.

Practical advice: before making a decision, ask for details of the available trading pitches, a full breakdown of costs and a written calculation of remuneration. This will help establish what an offer requiring no personal capital contribution would actually mean for your independent business.
