The Mutual Investigation Process

We have developed a "Mutual Investigation Process" that allows both parties to exchange information in a sequential manner and proceed at their own pace. During this process you will be required to provide adequate information in order that we may evaluate your potential as a LifeStyle Changes™ franchisee. At the same time, you will be receiving sufficient information from us about the franchise opportunity that will allow you to decide if you wish to move forward at each stage of the application process.

Step 1. The Initial Enquiry

The first step is to thoroughly read the information above. If you are still interested in pursuing a LifeStyle ChangesT franchise, you should complete and submit the Initial On-line Enquiry Form located at the end of this section. During this phase we will:

Explain the total level of investment and minimum cash requirement
Determine your preferred territory
Discuss your time frame to opening
Provide you with our Request for Information and Consideration Form

Step 2. Franchise Application

The next step is for you to complete the Request for Information and Consideration Form and forward it to our corporate office for our review. During this period, you are requested to refrain from discussing the business directly with any of our employees, our franchisees or their employees.

Step 3. The Personal Meeting

If the information provided in your Request for Information and Consideration Form meets the selection criteria we will arrange a personal meeting at which time you will be required to execute a Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to being provided with more in-depth information.

Step 4. Offer to Purchase Agreement

Should we both decide to proceed, the next step is for you to:

Receive a copy of the Franchise Agreement (and a copy of our Disclosure Document if you reside in Alberta, Ontario or PEI.).

Execute an Offer to Purchase Agreement and pay a deposit of $5,000, which is fully refundable

Step 5. Review the Franchise Documentation

Once the Offer to Purchase Agreement has been executed and the deposit has been paid you have 15 days to:

Have the Franchise Documentation reviewed by a lawyer who is experienced in the field of franchising
Execute the Franchise Agreement and pay the balance of the initial franchise fee (plus GST on the full amount of the initial franchise fee).

If during this 15-day period, you decide not to proceed with the franchise or we elect not to proceed with your application, your entire deposit will be returned to you without delay.

* We thoroughly review the Franchise Agreement with you so that you have a clear understanding of what is involved before you have it reviewed by a lawyer.

Step 6. Initial Training Program

You attend Training Program of up to 5 days at our Corporate Office in Victoria, British Columbia.

Step 7. Commence Business

You commence business as a LifeStyle Changes franchisee.

PLEASE NOTE:

This Mutual Investigation Process has been designed to assist the franchise applicant in determining if a LifeStyle Changes™ franchise meets their requirements. The profile contains all of the necessary introductory information to help you in assessing a LifeStyle ChangesT franchise; however, it does not contain any detailed financial information. Once an application has been submitted, and an applicant has passed the initial qualifying process, more detailed information will be released.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to change and amend the sequence of events without notice.
