The Process
We invite you to learn how a Comfort Keepers® franchise can meet your professional and personal goals with a growing opportunity in the business of doing good for others. Here's an overview of the steps to becoming a Comfort Keepers Franchisee.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Comfort Keepers franchise opportunity. Your franchise development representative will guide you through the following steps in order to give you the information you want to make an informed decision. Our mutual evaluation process generally takes between 6-8 weeks.
| 1 |
Introduction to Comfort Keepers
In our initial phone conversation, you will be introduced to all of the following: the non-medical in-home care industry; our company; the Comfort Keepers business concept; and the role of the franchisee in our system. |
| 2 | Complete An Application Your information will be held in the strictest of confidence. In order for us to move forward, you must complete this step in our mutual evaluation process. |
| 3 | Support Discussion This will be an in-depth conversation with your franchise development representative where you will learn about Comfort Keepers' ongoing assistance, training programs, marketing programs, franchisee support center, and the field and sales support. You will not be alone! |
| 4 | Franchisee Due Diligence and Discovery Day At this point you have amassed a basic understanding of how a Comfort Keepers franchise operates. This necessary background will enable you to speak comfortably with Comfort Keepers franchisees as you validate your understanding. Now it is time to schedule your Discovery Day visit! |
| 5 | Franchise Disclosure Document and In-Depth Territory Discussion For your protection the Federal Trade Commission requires that franchisors provide a disclosure document. Read it carefully for a greater understanding of what our mutual relationship will be and take it to your advisors. Then you’ll be ready for the next important step, the discussion of how we will define your protected territory. |
| 6 | Discovery Day Discovery Day is your final step in the mutual evaluation process before the final decision is made to award you a franchise. This is your opportunity to meet some of the people who will support you as a Comfort Keepers franchisee. In addition, you will be able to witness the depth of the franchisee support center organization and validate firsthand what our franchisees have told you. |
| 7 | Receive Franchise Agreement The formal franchise agreement is in the franchise disclosure document. If we make any material unilateral changes, the FTC requires that we give you the revised franchise agreement at least 7 days before you sign it or pay us any money in connection with the franchise agreement. |
| 8 | Sign Franchise Agreement, Receive the Pre-Opening Manual, and Schedule Training Congratulations - you are now a Comfort Keepers franchisee and well on your way to opening your office! |
