Do I need a pharmacy degree to own an ONCO franchise?
For the FOFO model, the franchise owner must hold a B.Pharm degree. For the FOCO model, no pharmaceutical qualification is required, as ONCO manages staffing and regulatory compliance.
What is the difference between FOFO and FOCO?
In FOFO, you own and operate the outlet with full autonomy and higher earnings. In FOCO, you invest the capital but ONCO's professional team runs day-to-day operations — ideal for passive investors.
What is the minimum space requirement?
Minimum 500 sq. ft. for a pharmacy-only outlet. For a full medical + pharmacy format, 800–1200 sq. ft. is recommended. Ground floor with street frontage is preferred.
Is the location exclusive?
Yes. Each franchisee gets an exclusive location (typically 3–5 km radius in urban areas). ONCO will not open another outlet within your protected zone. This is contractually guaranteed.
What kind of support will I receive from ONCO?
You get end-to-end support including store setup, supplier access, training, marketing, and ongoing operational guidance.
What is the earning potential in this business?
Pharmacy is a high-demand, recurring business with consistent footfall. ONCO helps you maximize margins through strong sourcing and pricing strategies.
Is prior business experience required to start this franchise?
No prior business experience is needed. ONCO provides complete guidance and support to help you run the pharmacy successfully.
Will I get help in choosing the right location?
Yes, ONCO assists in location selection by analyzing demand, visibility, and business potential to ensure better success.
What products will I be able to sell?
You can offer a wide range of medicines including ethical, branded generics, OTC products, and healthcare essentials.
Will ONCO help with licensing and approvals?
Yes, we assist you in understanding and completing all required licenses and regulatory processes.
