INITIAL INTERVIEW
AND CONTACT STEPS

It takes approximately $551,000 - $903,000 to open a standard Ideal Image® center. In many states, you do not have to have a medical background to own one of our centers.

1. To be considered for our opportunity, and to begin our Discovery process, you will be asked to complete and submit our "Request for Consideration" form.

2. Once we receive and review your completed form, we will call you to discuss our franchise opportunity in more detail, review our model, identify your business goals and identify potential markets that fit your expectations and investment level.

3. If we mutually agree that we have common interests and goals, we will send you our Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC), which describes and spells out all the details related to owning and operating an Ideal Image® franchise.

4. If, after thoroughly reviewing our UFOC, you decide that you want to learn more about the Ideal Image® opportunity, we will invite you to meet our team at our Corporate Headquarters in Tampa, Florida for a Discovery Day.

The Ideal Opportunity
This Discovery Day will include:
  • A discussion about your personal and financial goals for the future.
  • A meet and greet with the Executive Team.
  • A corporate tour of all our support departments: Marketing, Logistics, Creative, Research & Development, and IT with a department overview given for each.
  • An overview of our corporate strategy and destination.
  • Location criteria and timelines.
  • A demonstration of our Ideal Office® software, the proprietary software platform that we use to manage the running of all aspects of our day-to-day business.
  • e-training demonstration.
  • A question and answer session to summarize the day.
5. If, after the Discovery Day, both the Ideal Image® team and you are in agreement that developing a market is the right decision, you will be offered the opportunity to place a fully refundable deposit on the market of your choice.

6. Once this deposit is made, you will be required to complete our application process, which includes:
  • Completion of our Application.
  • A Credit and Background Check is performed.
  • Formation and funding of your corporation entity if necessary.
  • Completion of the Deposit Agreement.
7. During the next due diligence period you will:
  • Retain counsel for your legal matters.
  • Communicate with other franchise owners for their input and feedback.
  • Schedule a closing date.
8. We will have a "Reverse" Discovery Day in which we schedule a visit to meet your family, business associates and get to know "you" better, preferably in your market of choice. We believe this is a very important, and innovative, step in the process here at Ideal Image®. This "Reverse" Discovery Day really lets us get to know you better, in your market, and allows us to truly understand who you are, what you want and how well you fit into our family. It also gives us that extra one-on-one time to make sure all of your questions and concerns are addressed so that you can feel confident in the decision you have made.

9. You will then receive our Franchise Agreement for review and signing. Once we execute this agreement and you satisfy the balance of your fees that are due, you are then ready to get started on opening your own Ideal Image® Laser Hair Removal center.
