Training

WaveMax provides comprehensive training to its franchisees, which includes an initial business operations training session of three days held primarily in Florida or another designated location.

This training is aimed at equipping franchisees with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate the business successfully. If mobile services are to be offered, an additional one-day on-site training specific to this service is required. Franchisees must cover associated costs such as transportation, accommodation, and meals.

The franchisor may also require retraining if the franchisee's operations are not in compliance with the set standards. Additionally, continuing education opportunities, such as annual meetings to address system updates and other operational topics, may be provided to support ongoing success.

Territory Protection

WaveMax provides franchisees with a defined territory that typically encompasses a two-mile radius from the franchise location. This area is determined based on factors such as population density, average household income, and the concentration of rental properties.

Within this territory, the franchisor commits not to establish company-owned or franchised outlets that sell similar goods or services under the same trademarks, ensuring some level of operational exclusivity.

However, WaveMax does not offer complete territorial exclusivity. Franchisees may face competition from other franchisees or mobile services offered by the franchisor.
