What Might Make The Joint Franchise a Good Choice?

To be part of The Joint team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. Furthermore, ongoing fees will include advertising, royalty, and renewal fees. 

Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.

How To Open a The Joint Franchise

The first step to opening The Joint franchise is the submission of an inquiry form. 

Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, it is crucial that you perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. You may want to speak with existing franchisees and ask questions directed to The Joint team.

If you and the brand agree to a partnership and would like to take the opportunity, you can sign the franchise agreement. After this is done, it may take a couple of months for you to open your new location then you can get started offering spinal adjustments.
