MD Hyperbaric requires a structured and mandatory training regimen for its franchisees to ensure operational excellence and adherence to brand standards. The programs provided by the franchisor include the following:
Initial Training Program: The franchisee’s designated Training Team—consisting of the Controlling Principal or Authorized Care Provider, General Manager, and up to two technicians—must successfully complete the initial training. This training must begin at least four weeks before and be completed at least two weeks before the franchise opening date. It includes a maximum of two weeks of online training for the General Manager and technicians, and a separate HBOT certification course for the Authorized Care Provider.
Brand Standards Manual: As part of the training, the franchisee receives one electronic copy of the Brand Standards Manual, which includes essential operational procedures, confidential information, and trade secrets necessary for running the MD Hyperbaric Center Franchise.
Additional and Optional Training: The franchisor may require or offer additional training sessions, either mandatory or optional, for franchisees and their staff. These sessions may incur extra fees and are designed to ensure ongoing compliance and adaptation to new standards or operational updates.
Training for Successors or Replacements: If there are changes in the Training Team, such as a new General Manager or technician, the replacement must also attend and satisfactorily complete the initial training to maintain operational standards and approval by the franchisor.
Territory Protection
MD Hyperbaric offers franchisees a defined “Franchise Territory,” but it does not provide full exclusivity. While the franchisee is the only party authorized to operate a full-size MD Hyperbaric Center from a physical retail location within that territory, this protection is conditional upon the franchisee’s full compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
The franchisor, its affiliates, or others may still distribute products, conduct marketing, or sell services within the territory through non-retail channels such as the internet or direct marketing.
This means that although MD Hyperbaric will not authorize another full-size franchise to open in the same territory, franchisees should expect potential competition from other distribution and sales methods controlled by the franchisor.
