What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening the business is one to three months. However, Deck Medic requires franchisees to open and offer services and products to customers within their Operating Territory within 120 days from signing the Franchise Agreement.
Several factors can affect this estimated timeframe. These include the time it takes to complete the initial training program, secure third-party financing, obtain necessary licenses, train staff, and purchase or lease and wrap a service vehicle that meets Deck Medic's standards.
Prospective franchisees should consider these factors and plan accordingly to meet the 120-day deadline. Delays in any of these areas could push back the opening date. It is important to note that completing the initial training, obtaining the necessary licensing, and securing required insurance are prerequisites to opening the Deck Medic business.
