FAQ: your questions about CASISMA affiliation

The model and the premises

Is CASISMA affiliation a franchise?

No. Affiliation differs from a franchise in that the affiliate has complete freedom. One exception only: complying with the operating charter attached to the ULTRA-DÉTENTE room.

In practice: you keep control of your business, your prices and your organisation. The charter covers only the room and the branded experience.

17 m² minimum floor area for the ULTRA-DÉTENTE room

Beyond the room itself, the premises must have a reception area or office and toilets.

Where to set up: in a quiet location, in town or on the outskirts. For a business start-up, CASISMA recommends a town of at least 30,000 inhabitants.

On the equipment side: the projection unit, the holographic speakers and the sound amplifier are supplied. You provide the chair or day bed, the mat for the connections, the furniture and the decoration — the screen being optional.

Budget and royalty

What budget should you plan to open a room?

≈ €25K excl. VAT to create a room from scratch, with no pre-existing business

This order of magnitude corresponds to a typical town such as Angers. It varies with local property costs and the configuration of the project.

What the budget covers:

  • Entry fee: €6,000 excl. VAT
  • Equipment
  • Rent
  • Security deposit
  • Lease premium
  • Signage
  • Running costs
  • Public-venue (ERP) safety compliance

10% of annual revenue, capped at €5,000 excl. VAT per year

The royalty applies up to €50,000 excl. VAT of revenue, i.e. a maximum of €5,000 excl. VAT per year. Above that threshold, you pay nothing more.

ULTRA-DÉTENTE in practice

Does ULTRA-DÉTENTE cure stress?

No. ULTRA-DÉTENTE does not aim to cure stress, but to temporarily reduce or remove its effects.
