support, help, guidance and advise. Turn key support procedures cover
all aspects of day-to-day operations. Our goal is to make you feel like
having an Ice Galley Manager on your side.

well as other significant sectors covering our extensive know-how. The manuals are an integral part of our
business and support system.
32. Master Licensing
International expansion is not only a dream, but also a necessity in
today’s global economy. Ice Gallery is already present in a number of
countries and is expanding fast, becoming a global license and the
leading brand in ice sculpting.
In this view we are granting rights for the development of a specific
territory, which in most cases would be a whole country. The master license
differentiates itself from a normal single unit license in that our partner will
actively take our place as a mother company inside his market and will act
as being the mother company itself, developing not only its own business
units, but also a network of sub licensed Ice Gallery branches under his
guidance and support.
Ice Gallery has specific guidelines regarding its business layout, the
standardized ICE GALLERY equipment, the know-how to be used and
implemented, the marketing and other factors that characterize the whole
concept.
These specifications are an important part of the Ice Gallery concept and
our master licensee will be its guardian.
