Training

The Get A Grip Resurfacing franchise provides a thorough and structured training program designed to ensure franchisees are fully equipped to run a successful resurfacing business, even if they have no prior experience in the industry. The training includes several key components:

Initial Training Program: Franchisees undergo an intensive initial training program that covers all aspects of the business. This includes hands-on training in the proprietary resurfacing techniques that Get A Grip has developed. Franchisees learn how to professionally resurface countertops, bathtubs, showers, tiles, and cabinets using the company’s exclusive products and processes.
Business and Operational Training: In addition to the technical skills, the training program includes comprehensive business and operational guidance. Franchisees are trained in areas such as business management, marketing strategies, sales techniques, and customer relationship management.
Ongoing Support and Education: After the initial training, Get A Grip provides continuous support through ongoing training and access to new resources. Franchisees can receive refresher courses, access to updated training materials, and direct support from the corporate team to address any operational challenges they might face. This ongoing support is critical to helping franchisees stay competitive and successful in their markets.

Territory Protection

The Get A Grip Resurfacing franchise offers territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring that each franchisee operates within an exclusive geographic area.

This exclusive territory is defined in the franchise agreement and guarantees that no other Get A Grip franchise can be established within that designated area.

This protection allows franchisees to build and grow their business without the risk of direct competition from other franchisees within the same brand.
