Training

The Medi-Weightloss franchise provides a comprehensive training program to its franchisees. The franchisor's training includes an initial training program that typically involves both classroom and hands-on training at the franchisor's designated locations.

This program covers various aspects of running the franchise, including operational procedures, marketing strategies, and patient care processes. Additionally, ongoing training and support are provided to ensure the franchisee remains updated with the latest practices and industry developments.

These efforts are designed to maintain the quality and consistency of the Medi-Weightloss brand across all franchise locations.

Territory Protection

Medi-Weightloss offers limited territory protection to its franchisees, primarily through designated "Designated Areas." Franchisees who are compliant with their agreements are guaranteed that the franchisor will not grant another Medi-Weightloss franchise or operate its own Medi-Weightloss business at a fixed location within the assigned Designated Area.

However, these protections are confined to this specific area and do not extend to broader site selection areas, reflecting a balance between exclusivity and flexibility in densely populated or development-oriented regions.

Furthermore, Medi-Weightloss retains rights to grant additional franchises or engage in other operations outside the Designated Area, even within the general market region.
