Foxy Box has been operating in Canada since 2012 and has a genuine, multi-location Ontario presence — studios confirmed in Cambridge, Hamilton, Oakville North, and Toronto's Queen West. Laser hair removal and waxing bars commonly sell prepaid packages and memberships, which means a resale here isn't just about the equipment and the lease — it's also about how much prepaid customer credit is sitting on the books and who's on the hook to honour it after closing.
Foxy Box Laser & Wax Bar resales follow the franchisor's own approval process on top of the usual purchase mechanics — here's how the two run together.
Getting approved
The offer sets price and structure, conditioned on franchisor consent and a review of outstanding prepaid packages, gift cards, and membership credit owed to existing customers.
1–2 weeks†The franchisor reviews the proposed buyer and may exercise a right of first refusal before the sale can proceed.
several weeks, typically†A franchise disclosure document may still be required for this resale — Ontario courts read the resale-disclosure exemption narrowly, so franchisor involvement in the sale can trigger it even where it's called a private deal.
assessed early†Getting to closing
The lease needs landlord consent to assign, alongside confirmation the studio's infection-control registration for laser and waxing services is current.
2–6 weeks†Staff performing waxing and laser treatments typically need their own current certifications, so confirming these carry forward — or are refreshed — is part of the handover.
1–3 weeks†Funds and keys change hands, equipment and studio condition are confirmed, and the franchisor confirms the transfer is complete.
1 day, once conditions are met†CFA Look For A Franchise listing confirms an active Canadian franchise network, CFA member since 2018, 18 units in business since 2012
Multiple operating Ontario studios confirmed, including Cambridge, Hamilton, Oakville North and Toronto (Queen West)
This is the first real decision in a Foxy Box Laser & Wax Bar resale — and it changes what you're buying, what you're taking on, and how the franchise agreement moves.
| Question | Asset purchase | Share purchase |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | The studio's fixtures, treatment-room equipment, inventory, and the franchise agreement's benefit, subject to franchisor consent. | The shares of the operating company — everything it owns, and everything it owes. |
| Seller's liabilities | Generally stay behind with the seller's existing corporation. | Generally come with the company, known and unknown. |
| Franchise agreement | Consent required for the specific unit, often paired with a current-form agreement. | Consent required for the change of control itself. |
| Prepaid packages, gift cards & memberships | Outstanding customer credit from prepaid packages, gift cards, and memberships is a real liability — whether the buyer agrees to honour it, and at what price adjustment, is a negotiated term, not an automatic pass-through. | That liability sits with the corporation and comes with it automatically, known and unknown balances alike. |
| Personal-service-setting compliance | Ontario's infection-prevention-and-control rules for personal service settings — which cover waxing and laser treatments — are tied to the physical premises and its registration, so confirming the studio's compliance history before assets change hands matters. | Compliance history attaches to the corporation. |
| The lease | Needs the landlord's written consent to assign into the buyer's name. | Usually stays in place, unless the lease has its own change-of-control clause. |

Start my file →A resale where outstanding membership credit is larger than expected, or a buyer adding the studio to a multi-location personal-care portfolio.
Book a consultation →Not sure which you are? That's our job to figure out, not yours. As a rough guide, most deals under a couple of million dollars are the first kind — above that, you're usually in Mergers & Acquisitions territory.
That outstanding credit is a real liability, not something that simply disappears — whether the buyer agrees to honour it, and how much it adjusts the purchase price, is a negotiated term that both sides' accountants typically help work through.
Yes — studios are confirmed operating in Cambridge, Hamilton, Oakville North, and Toronto's Queen West, within a Canadian network that's been growing since 2012.
Ontario regulates personal service settings that involve waxing or laser treatments under its infection-prevention-and-control rules, enforced by the local public health unit. Confirming the studio's current registration and compliance history is a genuine diligence item before assets change hands.
Possibly. Ontario courts have read the resale-disclosure exemption narrowly, and franchisor involvement in matching a buyer to a seller can be enough to trigger a full disclosure requirement even where the deal is framed as a private resale.
