The VetCor Franchising program offers several structured training initiatives for franchisees and their teams. Here’s a numbered summary of the training provided:
VetCor Franchising offers its franchisees a protected territory, which is defined in the franchise agreement and typically covers a population of around 350,000 individuals. Within this territory, VetCor agrees not to establish or license another VetCor business or outlet.
However, the franchisee does not receive exclusivity over all potential customers, as other VetCor businesses may serve customers in the territory through referrals or under certain circumstances, such as national accounts or catastrophic events.
The franchisor also retains specific rights that allow it to serve customers within the franchisee’s territory if the franchisee defaults, fails to meet customer demand, or does not adequately serve a customer.
