🚀 No Upfront Cash Required

20% Operator Model

Launch a proven product in your market with zero development cost. We deploy, you operate, you pay 20% of revenue. Own it outright when ready.

How It Works

A franchise-like model with a tech backbone. Perfect for operators who want to launch fast without development risk.

1

Apply & Deposit

Submit your application and pay a non-refundable deposit of £350–£450. We review your market fit and operational readiness.

2

We Deploy

ZumoGroup sets up the app, customizes branding, configures backend infrastructure, and deploys it to your market.

3

You Operate

You launch, recruit users, market the product, and handle customer operations. We provide read-only admin access for full transparency.

4

Revenue Share

You keep 80% of gross revenue. ZumoGroup receives 20% of gross monthly income. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.

5

Own It

After 3 months (if profitable), buy the app outright at market valuation. ZumoGroup retains ownership until full payment received.

Valuation & Buyout

How your app grows in value as you grow revenue.

Valuation Formula

App Value = Base Value + (Total Revenue Generated × 1.0 Multiplier)

Example Scenario

Metric Value
Initial app valuation £5,000
Monthly revenue (Month 1–3) £2,000/month
Total revenue after 3 months £6,000
ZumoGroup revenue share (20%) £1,200
Your revenue (80%) £4,800
New app valuation £11,000
Buyout price £11,000
💡 Key Point

The more revenue you generate, the more valuable the app becomes. You've already earned £4,800 in the first 3 months—the buyout price reflects the true market value of what you've built together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can't afford the buyout after 3 months?
+
No pressure. You can continue operating and paying 20% revenue share indefinitely. Once you save up enough (or your revenue grows), you can buy it whenever you're ready. The valuation grows with your revenue, so delaying is an option.
Can I customize the app for my market?
+
Yes. During the deployment phase, we customize branding, localization, and core features to suit your market. Major feature requests are negotiated and billed separately.
What if revenue drops below expectations?
+
You still pay 20% of whatever revenue comes in. There's no minimum revenue guarantee, but ZumoGroup is invested in your success—we'll work with you on optimization and troubleshooting.
Can I exit the contract early?
+
Early termination is possible but incurs a 35% penalty on outstanding amounts owed. Conditions are defined in the operator agreement. We prefer to work through challenges rather than exit.
What if ZumoGroup declines my buyout offer?
+
ZumoGroup reserves the right to decline offers that don't align with fair market valuation or if terms are unsuitable. We'll discuss alternatives (extended operation, revised terms, etc.) before any rejection.
Do you help with marketing and user acquisition?
+
You own customer acquisition and marketing strategy. ZumoGroup provides technical support, optimization, and best-practice guidance. Premium support packages can be negotiated based on your budget.
What happens if the app fails?
+
ZumoGroup provides the infrastructure; you drive the market fit. If the product isn't gaining traction, we troubleshoot together. If you want to exit, the 35% breach penalty applies unless mutually agreed otherwise.
