Does
4Ever Young
provide
training
to its
franchisees?
The franchisor provides comprehensive training for franchisees and their personnel, which includes several components:
Initial Training Program
- Primary Attendees: The franchisee (or one owner if the franchisee is an entity) and the designated manager responsible for the day-to-day management of the Franchised Business must attend the Initial Training Program.
- Location: The training is conducted at the franchisor's corporate training location or another center designated by the franchisor, depending on the schedules and availability of the franchisor's training personnel.
- Additional Attendees: Additional owners or managers can attend the training, subject to the availability of the franchisor's staff, provided the franchisee pays the franchisor's then-current initial training fee for each extra individual, along with any incurred expenses.
Replacement Personnel Training
- The franchisor offers the Initial Training Program for any replacement personnel or those who fail to complete the program, provided the franchisee pays the franchisor's then-current initial training fee and any associated costs and expenses.
Additional and Refresher Training
- The franchisor may develop additional and refresher training courses and require franchisee management to attend. The franchisor may charge a training tuition fee for attending these courses, in addition to the franchisee's obligation to cover any incurred expenses. Franchisees and their management are not required to attend more than five days of additional/refresher training each year.
Continuing Assistance
- The franchisor may provide ongoing advisory assistance in the operation of the Franchised Business, which could be delivered through various channels such as webinars, remote meeting technology, phone, or other communication methods deemed appropriate by the franchisor.
Does
4Ever Young
provides
territory
protection?
The franchisor does offer a designated territory to its franchisees within which certain territorial rights are granted.
‍Once a franchisee secures their premises, the franchisor awards a Designated Territory around these premises, where the franchisor agrees not to open or license any third party to open another center utilizing the System and Proprietary Marks from a physical location within that Designated Territory, as long as the franchisee complies with their franchise agreement.
However, it is important to note that this territorial protection does not confer exclusive rights. Franchisees may still face competition from other franchisees, outlets owned by the franchisor, or other channels of distribution or competitive brands controlled by the franchisor.
‍
Can a
4Ever Young
franchise
be run as
a passive
investment?
The franchisor recommends that franchisees personally participate and manage the day-to-day operations of their Franchised Business. However, franchisees have the option to hire a Designated Manager to manage daily operations, subject to the franchisor's approval.
Both the franchisee and the Designated Manager are required to complete the Initial Training Program to the franchisor's satisfaction before undertaking any management responsibilities. This suggests that while there is room for some level of passive investment, active involvement, at least at the managerial level with franchisor-approved training, is necessary for the operation of the franchised business​​.
