Does Cicis directly provide, deliver, or install any Operating Assets to its franchisees?

According to the 2025 Cicis Franchise Disclosure Document, Cicis does not directly provide, deliver, or install any Operating Assets to its franchisees. However, Cicis will provide franchisees with a list of designated suppliers and a list of all Operating Assets. Franchisees are responsible for sourcing and installing these assets themselves.

This means that prospective Cicis franchisees will need to establish relationships with approved suppliers to acquire the necessary equipment and assets to operate their franchise. This responsibility includes managing the logistics of delivery and installation, which can add complexity and cost to the initial setup phase.

While Cicis doesn't handle the direct provision of these assets, they do offer assistance by providing the names of designated suppliers. This guidance can be valuable in ensuring franchisees source equipment that meets Cicis's standards and specifications. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the list of approved suppliers to ensure they can meet their needs in terms of cost, quality, and service.

It is important for potential franchisees to factor in the time and resources required to manage the procurement and installation of Operating Assets when assessing the overall investment and operational requirements of a Cicis franchise.
