| Operations | 4 Primary Advantages: 1. We charge No Royalty Fees, just a flat monthly fee of $500 - This results in huge savings and much greater take-home earnings compared with their industry franchise competitors. 2. Franchises sign No Long-Term Contracts - Their membership with us is month to month and they can cancel at any time with 30 days notice. This requires management to provide exceptional value to its owners every day, or risk losing residual revenue due to canceled memberships. That said; our retention rate is impressively high. 3. Franchisees establish their Individual Brand Identity - Senior care is one industry where franchise brand recognition is less than 1%. Therefore, our owners have the advantage of developing their own unique brand identity and representing themselves as a locally owned/operated business - which clients prefer. 4. Franchisees are free to customize their business according to their wishes/needs - While we provide our Members/owners with complete operating systems, business framework and best-practices; they are free to customize their business according to their needs and desires. This enables them to adapt their business and services according to the unique demands of their local market and to take advantage of any revenue opportunities that they feel are beneficial to them. | Absentee Ownership Allowed Number of Employees Required to Run: 2 - 3 |
