Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure that you have the business skills and experience to manage a successful franchise, we need to know details of your career and relevant knowledge in the form of a resume or other appropriate documentation.

If your details meet our initial criteria to manage your own business, further information will be provided for your perusal and consideration. Then if you are still interested, a one-on-one meeting will be organised with you to discuss our franchise model in further detail.

Following this, and upon both parties agreeing to move forward, a business plan will be required to be completed by the applicant on a template provided by Recruitment Vision.

Once the plan has been reviewed and agreed by both parties, a copy of the Franchise Agreement will be emailed to you for your perusal and consideration. It is again recommended that at this point you seek legal advice, if not already doing so.

Once you have advised us of your intention to proceed, a further meeting will then be arranged to discuss your business plan in more detail, finalise the Franchise Agreement, and a commencement date.
