Steps to becoming a Timezone Franchise Partner

Going into business is a big commitment.

Franchising offers a tried and tested business model – but you still need to assess:-

  • Is the business right for you?
  • What are the likely returns and risks?
  • Do you get on with the Franchisor?

Our franchise selection process works both ways – you need to assess us and we need to assess you.

Initial questions

Complete our enquiry form and we'll contact you to arrange a mutually convenient time for an initial discussion. This will be in confidence and without any obligation.

Detailed discussions

If first impressions are good we'll ask you to complete our Expression of Interest form and Confidentiality undertaking before discussing the Timezone business model with you in more detail.

Assessment

Throughout discussions we'll be making an assessment of you and you'll be assessing us.

We'll need to meet each other and we'll expect you to visit some of our existing Timezone Franchise Partners and their Centres.

We may invite you to our Discovery Day – a day with us in Centre so you can gain first-hand experience of the business.

Draft documentation & independent advice

If both parties want to progress interest further we'll provide you with our Disclosure Document and an example Franchise Agreement.

You'll need to obtain independent financial and legal advice on the documentation and to make your own assessment on proposed sites.

Final approval

Only if you wish to proceed, and we approve you to become a Timezone Franchise Partner, do we ask you for a $2,000 deposit and prepare the actual Franchise Agreement for signature. Once the Agreement is signed premises can be secured and training undertaken.

Police clearances and credit references are also required to protect the integrity of the group.
