    Some Commonly Asked Questions About How to Own a 1+1 Cares Franchise.

    What experience do I need to have to own a 1+1 Care franchise?
    You do not need to have prior business ownership experience, but a background in healthcare or senior care-related fields is key, to ensure that you understand the dynamics of the industry. We look for candidates who are sales-oriented, who may have worked as an account executive in a senior services business. And we seek franchise owners who share in our common vision and approach, placing high value on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction. No matter your background or experience, we are ready to provide you the training, support and resources you need to grow your home care services franchise.
    What kind of training will I receive?
    The training for 1+1 Cares franchisees is comprehensive and designed to equip you with a thorough understanding of our company and its operations, and your role in our franchise system. It begins with a Remote Study/Interactive Training phase, during which you’ll receive pre-training materials either online or in physical format. This initial stage, which takes about 40 hours, covers the fundamentals of 1+1 Cares, including its culture, business concept, and basic expectations. Following the remote study, you’ll undergo an In-Territory Training program. This on-site training, which lasts for five days, can be conducted in the franchisee’s territory or at an alternate location determined by us. The program covers a range of critical topics necessary for setting up and effectively running a 1+1 Cares franchise. These include operational setup, sales and marketing strategies, technology use, lead generation, and relationship building with potential clients. A significant part of our training involves accompanying the franchisee on visits to client and referral sources, providing hands-on experience in engaging with key contacts. We offer this in-depth training for up to two individuals from your team, emphasizing its importance in the business setup process.
    Where will I operate my business?
    Franchisees are generally expected to run their operations from a home-based office. This approach is both anticipated and recommended. However, if you prefer to operate out of a commercial office space, either leased or owned, you must first seek and receive approval from us before setting up this office.
    Is financing available?
    We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis.
    Are there ongoing fees to pay?

    We charge a royalty rate equal to 5% of your client billings. These fees support our ongoing services, training programs, and more. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

    Are there any advertising fees?
    You’ll make a contribution equal to 2% of client billings to the brand development fund (this could increase to up to 3%). We use collected funds to develop marketing strategies, materials and campaigns to promote the 1+1 Cares network and brand. You’ll also be expected to make an expenditure starting at a minimum of $1,000 per month on local marketing. And you must spend a minimum of $3,000 on initial launch marketing and promotions in your territory. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
    How much will a 1+1 Cares franchise cost me?

    The estimated initial investment for a single unit ranges from $77,850 to $127,650. This includes a $40,000 initial franchise fee for a single territory agreement. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages. To qualify, we look for a FICO score of at least 720, a net worth of about 90% of the estimated initial investment, with 30% to 40% of that in liquid assets.

    What is the term of the agreement?
    The term of the Franchise Agreement is seven years, with one subsequent successor agreement option of five years.
