NOTE: YOU MUST BE INVITED IN ORDER TO BE ENROLLED IN THIS PROGRAM
Enrolling in this support option guarantees our commitment to mentor you through the necessary tasks to meet the objectives outlined for an apprentice business owner, thereby qualifying you for a Click IT franchise territory. Our team will assist with selecting a location and business planning, including how to use our business plan templates. While finding the perfect location and obtaining financing can be challenging, our support makes these steps less intimidating. After pinpointing the ideal location, we will also help devise a marketing strategy. Although the program fee is non-refundable, it will be credited towards the franchise fee as a discount.
This invitation extends solely to those who have finished our preliminary tasks and have reached level 3 in our franchise candidacy program. We aim to provide exceptional support to prospective Click IT business owners, ensuring they are well-prepared to succeed upon being granted their franchise location. Recognizing that financing may take time, we might not insist on the full franchise fee upfront. Choosing our Apprentice Program means we'll guide you in making the journey to business ownership as seamless and worry-free as possible.
If a franchise is ultimately awarded, the amount spent on this program is fully deducted from the total due at the time the franchise agreement is signed. Your acceptance into this program can also serve as proof of our commitment to moving forward together, which may be useful when seeking financing.
Every individual is different and has different needs. Therefore, upon enrollment in this program, we will begin coaching the Apprentice according to discussions, which may include additional resources to research a possible location for opening a Click IT store in the Apprentice's designated area. Our real estate department conducts intensive studies of the demographics of an area to determine the best location for the store. We typically build Google Maps to assess prospective customers and gauge the surrounding area. This involves clicking on categories to view the area's demographics, as demonstrated in our example map: https://clickitgroup.com/contact/map-of-surrounding-area. To ensure the best location is selected and to potentially save tens of thousands in rent and capital improvements, our real estate department conducts an extensive location research process, as outlined in our Demographics Study Guide. Please note that this process is only initiated once the franchise agreement is fully signed and executed, as we hire a resource to conduct this research.
We will leverage our strategic partner contacts and resources to support all tasks throughout the candidacy period. After meeting the minimum requirements of the Apprenticeship Program, our designated Click IT business coach will collaborate with you to pinpoint optimal financing options and provide guidance using our financial and business plan templates to enhance your chances of success. Additional coaching commences once a location is selected for the store. The candidacy program's tasks are structured to be completed within 60 days. The total franchise fee is payable upon signing the franchise agreement, which is also when training is arranged. Typically, once a suitable property is located and the lease is nearing finalization, the remaining processes tend to align smoothly.
