Design Pro Remodeling franchise offers a multi-tiered training program to ensure franchisees are well-equipped to operate their businesses effectively. Here is a detailed outline of the programs provided:
Initial Training Program Franchisees must complete an initial training program, which includes both classroom and on-the-job components, before opening. This training is offered for up to two individuals and is provided at no tuition cost, although all associated travel, lodging, and salary expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee.
Failure to Complete Training If a franchisee or their designated manager fails to satisfactorily complete the initial training, the franchisor has the right to terminate the franchise agreement. A substitute manager may be allowed to undergo the training at a fee of $2,000 or the franchisor’s then-current rate, plus any incurred travel and lodging expenses.
Ongoing Training The franchisor may provide and require franchisees to attend up to two ongoing training sessions annually. These may include seminars, webinars, or conferences and are charged at $250 per person per day, with additional travel-related costs if held at the franchisee's location.

Territory Protection
Design Pro Remodeling franchise grants its franchisees a protected territory in which it will not establish another franchised or company-owned outlet offering similar services under the same or similar trademarks.
This territory is defined geographically in the franchise agreement and remains stable regardless of changes in population or performance. However, this protection is not entirely exclusive because both the franchisee and other franchisees may still accept customers outside their assigned territories through networking or referrals.
Additionally, Design Pro Remodeling reserves certain rights within the protected territory. The franchisor or its affiliates can use alternative distribution channels such as the internet, catalog sales, and telemarketing to market services—even within a franchisee's territory—though such inquiries are typically directed to the local franchisee.
