FAQ
What people ask us most.
How much does it cost to join?
The start-up fee is US$2,000 and Kreko finances it over 48 months. Then you pay US$20 a month for the technology, charged weekly. Your credit line grows as you buy more from our partners.
How does the credit of up to $2,000 work?
Your credit grows as you repay it: a line of up to $2,000 with our partners, indexed to the BCV dollar rate. We recommend paying as you sell so your bolívares hold their value, but you can pay us once a week.
Is the store still mine?
Yes. You remain the owner and run your store. Kreko provides the brand, the system, the credit, and the supplier network. Your sign carries your name and the KREKO Franchise Network seal.
How much would I sell and keep?
Our stores reach about $6,000 in monthly sales from the fourth month. That would let you earn around $700 after store costs (internet, utilities) and the Kreko technology fee.
What's included?
The Kreko brand, a tablet with the point-of-sale system, cameras and installation, inventory credit, better prices through the supplier network, and a team with you from opening. And if you like social media, we'll make you a Kreko ambassador.
Do you have stores running?
Yes, more than 12 stores are already connected. For example, Minimarket San Rafael sells over $20,000 a month and Buen Día Trinidad doubled its sales in 6 months. See photos and reviews on our social media.
Do I have to buy everything from Kreko?
No. We connect as many products as possible from the start and, while we complete the portfolio, you can keep other suppliers. The goal is to supply 100% of your business in under 6 months.
How long does opening take?
Once we meet you, if you want to join the Kreko store network, we'd have you connected in under 15 days.
What are the requirements?
A storefront, a valid ID, a tax registration (RIF), and real drive to work your business. Committing to open at least 12 hours a day, every day, is key for the business to be profitable.
Can I leave if it doesn't work for me?
Yes, no problem. You just return the equipment and settle any debts. We're your partners and want what's best for your business.
