What are the conditions that must be met before a Caring Senior Service franchisee can open their Franchised Business?

Your Franchised Business must be opened for business not later than 75 days from the effective date of your franchise agreement, unless we grant you an extension. In most cases training is completed within 45 to 60 days following execution of the Franchise Agreement. A Caring Senior Service Franchised Business usually opens for business within 75 days after the Franchise Agreement is signed. If you do not open your Franchised Business within this timeframe, we have the right to terminate your Franchise Agreement. You may not open your Franchised Business until: (1) you have complied with all requirements regarding site selection, leasing of the site and build-out (if necessary) of the Franchised Business, which is required to be located within your Territory; (2) the initial training program we provide has been completed to our satisfaction by all required persons; (3) the initial franchise fee and all other amounts due to us have been paid; (4) you have furnished us with all certificates of insurance required by the Franchise Agreement; (5) you have obtained all required governmental permits, licenses, bonds and authorizations necessary for the operation of your Franchised Business; and (6) you are in full compliance with all the terms of the Franchise Agreement.

Factors which may affect the length of time between signing of the Franchise Agreement and opening for business include the time necessary to locate a space we will accept, to obtain any financing you need, to obtain required government licenses and permits, to complete our initial training program, and to complete the hiring and training of personnel, if any.
