What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee will typically open their business within 30 to 60 days after signing the Franchise Agreement. This timeframe is influenced by several factors, including completing the initial training program, establishing a home-based office, obtaining necessary business licenses and permits, and securing insurance.
Canine Dimensions requires franchisees to operate from a location that the franchisor approves. Typically, this will be the franchisee's home, which is designated as the "Approved Location" and is usually entered on the Franchise Agreement at the time of signing.
Prospective franchisees should note that the 30-60 day period is an estimate and can vary. Delays in any of the mentioned pre-opening activities could extend this timeframe. It is important to proactively address each requirement to ensure a timely launch of the Canine Dimensions franchise.
