Stiltz Homelifts offers a comprehensive training program designed to prepare franchisees and their teams for successful business operations. The program is structured into several components, as detailed below:
Initial Training Program Franchisees and any designated managers must complete the initial training before the franchise opens. The training is provided at no cost for simultaneous attendees but includes a fee of $250 per day per person for extra or late attendees. The franchisor reserves the right to adjust the length and content of the training based on participants’ experience.
Manager and Successor Training If a new Franchise Manager or Responsible Owner is appointed, they must complete the initial training program before assuming duties. This includes paying applicable training fees, and failure to comply may delay business operations.
Remedial Training Should the franchisor determine non-compliance with operational standards, it may require the franchisee or staff to undergo remedial training. This also incurs a fee of $250 per day per attendee.
Ongoing and Additional Training The franchisor may periodically offer refresher or advanced training sessions, either optional or mandatory. Attendance may be required for system-wide updates and operational consistency.
Requested Training Upon request, the franchisor can provide additional training or support at mutually convenient times. Franchisees are responsible for covering all related costs for such sessions.
Territory Protection
Stiltz Homelifts grants franchisees a limited protected territory called the "Area of Primary Responsibility" (APR), which is defined after the business location is identified and approved.
This area is determined by geographic and demographic characteristics relevant to a Stiltz Homelifts operation. Within the APR, franchisees may operate exclusively at their approved location and are not authorized to conduct business elsewhere without express permission.
Although the franchisor agrees not to establish or authorize another business using the same brand within the APR, it reserves significant flexibility. Stiltz Homelifts may operate or franchise similar businesses under different trademarks and may also participate in multi-area marketing efforts that could reach customers within an individual franchisee's territory.
