The following specific requirements to become a Genesis franchisee are necessary:
- Adequate capital: Franchisees will need to have sufficient capital to cover the initial franchise fee, as well as the costs of setting up and running the business. This is typically 50% of the total set up in cash (not in home equity).
- Business experience: While not always necessary, Genesis does prefer franchisees who have previous business or at minimum some management experience. This is useful as you’ll be responsible for your staff on a day-to-day basis.
- Commitment to the brand/community: A positive attitude and must be willing to adhere to the franchisor's standards/operating procedures, as these are essential to maintaining the brand's integrity and reputation. We are looking for franchisees who want to impact their local community in a positive way.
- Legal compliance: Franchisees must comply with all relevant laws and regulations, including those related to employment, taxation, and health and safety.
Becoming a Genesis franchisee offers several advantages, including:
- Established brand: Franchisees can benefit from the established brand of 25 years and reputation of Genesis Health + Fitness.
- Support and guidance: Genesis offers training and ongoing support to help franchisees operate their businesses effectively.
- Access to resources: Franchisees can access resources such as marketing materials, operational systems, and purchasing power that is not available to independent businesses.
- Reduced risk: Franchisees can benefit from the Genesis teams experience and expertise as well as the other franchisees in the network. We support each other with learnings and make sure we grow together.
