1. Review franchisee requirements and the information on this website, then complete and submit the full Snip-its franchising application.
2. Upon preliminary review of your application and if you meet the financial requirements, you will be contacted by a Snip-its sales associate. A phone interview provides a good opportunity for us to get to know each other and lay out the timeline and application process we will be dealing with.
3. Upon satisfactory completion of the phone interview, you will be given a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that contains comprehensive and valuable information for franchise candidates. You will be asked to sign an acknowledgement of receipt that must be returned to your sales associate before you may proceed to the next step.
4. Review the FDD (it is recommended that you obtain legal and financial advice), and then schedule a Personal Meeting in your area. Your sales representative will schedule a personal meeting in your area and personally introduce you to the Snip Its franchise opportunity. In addition to learning about training, marketing, and ongoing support this is an excellent time for you to answer any outstanding questions you may have.
5. After the Personal Meeting, our corporate staff will review your application and your interview notes to determine whether or not there is a good fit between you and Snip-its. You will be notified via email if you have been approved.
6. A credit and background check will be completed and you will be notified of the results.
7. Once you have officially been approved, you may want to contact existing franchisees to discuss their franchise experience and to ask any additional questions you may have. We will direct you to franchisees that may have similar experiences or situations to provide the most value for your time, but you may contact any franchisee. You will find a list of franchisee names in the FDD.
8. Throughout the process, your sales associate will discuss with you real estate opportunities and available territories in the marketplace. If you choose to sign an Area Development Agreement (ADA), you will need to lay out your territory and store opening schedule for inclusion in your Execution Documents.
9. Once you have made the decision to move forward and become a Snip-its franchisee, you will receive Execution Documents for signature. With your signed documents and franchisee fee, you are officially part of the Snip-its family - Welcome!
