Step 2 - Engage in Phone Consultation Within a few days, your assigned Fresh Coat Franchise Consultant will contact you to provide more detailed information about Fresh Coat, answer your questions on the franchise system and franchise ownership, and simply get to know you better.
Step 3 - You Attend a Corporate Visit Fresh Coat holds Corporate Visits in Cincinnati, Ohio. Attending a corporate visit will allow you to learn first-hand why this business is for you and the great opportunities it provides. You will also meet various members of the Support and Operations teams who will work with you after you become a member of the franchise system.
Corporate Visit dates are limited and the groups are kept intimate so you can get the personal attention you need.
NOTE: We DO NOT AWARD franchises during these meetings. You will not be asked to sign or make any franchise purchase commitments.
Step 4 - You Finalize Your Decision Working with your Franchise Consultant, you make the decision that Fresh Coat franchise ownership is right for you. You review and finalize the Franchise agreements for your territory and pay your franchise fee.
Step 5 - You Attend Training Fresh Coat conducts one week of training in our Cincinnati, Ohio, Corporate Office that combines both classroom and hands-on operational training. During this time you will also be introduced to the Franchise Operations staff and the proven marketing program.
Step 6 - You Celebrate Your Office Grand Opening After your initial training is completed, your Fresh Coat franchise is "Open for Business.”
The International Franchise Association is a membership organization of franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers. As a member, Fresh Coat offers franchisees access to a wealth of resources to help them start and grow their businesses. With IFA and Fresh Coat, you’ll become an active member of the franchising community.
For franchisees just getting into the business or those expanding their business, Fresh Coat is approved by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). This designation gives franchisees expedited loan processing when applying for SBA financial assistance.
To honor those men and women who have served in the U.S. military, the IFA developed the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative, or VetFran, to help veterans transition to civilian life. With this program, Fresh Coat can offer franchisees additional financing benefits. If you were honorably discharged, you may be eligible for a $1,000 discount on franchise fees.
