Training

Anchored Tiny Homes provides a detailed and multi-tiered training structure for franchisees to ensure operational success and compliance. The training includes the following programs:

Initial Training Program: Within 30 days of the scheduled or actual opening date, the franchisee’s Managing Owner and two designated managers must complete the initial training. This training can include both classroom and on-the-job instruction and may be held at a designated facility or online.
Refresher and System-Wide Training: The Managing Owner and Manager are required to attend and complete all refresher and system-wide training courses offered periodically. These sessions may also include seminars and conferences designed to update franchisees on operational improvements.
Supplemental Training: Anchored Tiny Homes may mandate supplemental training for new Operating Managers or when a franchisee fails to meet system standards. This training can be conducted onsite or online, with a fee of $600 per trainer per day plus travel and lodging costs.
Training Costs and Conditions: All training-related expenses, including travel, lodging, and wages, are the responsibility of the franchisee. Participation must be pre-approved by the franchisor, and attendees must meet certain prerequisites such as signing required agreements.

Territory Protection

Anchored Tiny Homes grants franchisees a defined Operating Territory, which may include a population of up to 300,000 people and can be supplemented with additional territories.

While this territory provides operational boundaries and marketing focus, it is not exclusive in the traditional sense. The franchisor agrees not to establish or license another Anchored Tiny Homes Business within the franchisee’s territory during the agreement term, provided the franchisee is not in default.

However, Anchored Tiny Homes reserves significant rights that limit the strength of territory protection. The franchisor may operate or authorize others to operate similar businesses under different trademarks or through alternative channels of distribution, such as internet or telemarketing, even within the franchisee's territory.
