Advanced Laser Restoration offers a comprehensive training program to prepare franchisees for operating their laser cleaning business. The training is structured around both initial instruction and ongoing support. Here are the main training programs:
Initial Training Program Franchisees are required to attend and complete an initial training program conducted by Advanced Laser Restoration. The program is delivered before the business launch and includes operational, technical, and safety training relevant to the franchise system. Training takes place prior to receiving the Upfitted Trailer or Van with laser equipment.
On-Site Opening Support The franchisor provides two days of on-site support to assist with business opening. This includes operational guidance and support to ensure franchisees implement the system correctly from the start. The aim is to help with a smooth and compliant launch.
Post-Opening Support and Guidance After launch, franchisees can request support for operational issues or business development. The franchisor offers advice via phone or electronic communication and may also provide in-person support for a fee. Additionally, franchisees receive recommended procedures for administration, hiring, pricing, and marketing.
Territory Protection
Advanced Laser Restoration does not offer franchisees any exclusive or protected territory. Franchisees are expected to operate primarily from a home base, and the franchisor does not assist with site selection or provide geographic exclusivity.
This allows the franchisor to maintain flexibility in granting new franchises or operating outlets in any area. Although franchisees can advertise and market their services locally, the franchisor has the authority to form regional advertising cooperatives based on media markets or other geographic criteria.
These cooperatives may include both franchisee-owned and company-owned outlets, with shared financial contributions and voting rights. Therefore, while there is structure to support marketing within an area, there is no formal territorial protection against internal competition.
