The Miguelito's Ice Cream franchise fee is Php 100,000 and the capital investment is Php 600,000, as listed in the Philippine Franchise Association directory. The term is 5 years.

The listed figures
The listing shows a Php 100,000 franchise fee and a Php 600,000 capital investment for a kiosk, with a 5-year term. It does not show a renewal fee, a royalty or an advertising fee.[1]
Ask whether the fee is part of the Php 600,000 and what the kiosk package includes: the kiosk itself, freezers and dipping cabinets, opening stock, cones and cups, and training.[1]
Cold chain is the big operating question
Ice cream must stay frozen from the franchisor's plant to your cabinet. Ask how deliveries are made to your area, in what kind of vehicle, how often, and what happens to stock damaged by a power outage. Ask too if you need a generator or backup freezer, and whether the package includes one.
Sales of frozen desserts often swing with the weather and school calendars. Ask the franchisor for the minimum monthly order, if any, and whether it changes in rainy months.
Ask about the menu too. Find out which flavors and products you must carry, whether you can add local items, and how new flavors are introduced. A kiosk has little storage, so you want to know how many freezer cabinets the full menu needs.
Permits and comparisons
A frozen dessert kiosk needs a sanitary permit, health certificates for staff, a mayor's permit and BIR registration. See the dessert shop business kit, and compare under dessert and fruit drink franchises.
