Running a medical franchise is a big undertaking, and before making this huge career move, you should understand the responsibilities of the job. A franchisee in the urgent care space is signing up to enter an exciting, ever-changing and growing field; however, you should also realize the substantial investment and time commitment. You should understand that you won’t have all the answers in the beginning, and be prepared to take advantage of our extensive suite of resources on-hand for new franchisees. Just as you are conducting research to determine which franchise is the best fit for you, we also want to make sure you’re completely informed about everything a new medical franchise entails so that we can welcome you into our family with confidence.
Be Prepared for the Investment
The costs of a medical franchise can seem daunting, but it’s important to remember that the point of any investment is to reap its rewards. We keep our startup fees a low as possible, to give you greater flexibility in launching your business. While the total investment is higher, it’s important to note that if you’re converting an existing urgent care facility into an American Family Care location, you will be able to save a significant sum on location costs. Fortunately, location scouting is only one of the many areas in which our team assists you.

A Good Fit for a Medical Franchise

Above all else, we ask our new business partners to be highly motivated, personable, good communicators, good listeners and learners, and passionate about helping their community.
