Franchise Description: The franchisor is Send Me a Trainer Franchising LLC. The franchise offered is the right to operate either a Send Me a Pro area representative business under which the franchisee will develop the geographic area granted by soliciting other franchisees to own and operate a Send Me a Pro business or a Send Me a Trainer business within the area representative territory. Franchised businesses provide access to home services providers, such as home cleaners, lawn care providers, handypersons, fitness providers, tutors, pet care providers, and more, within a defined trade area. As an area representative, franchisees will open and solicit other franchisees to open Send Me a Pro franchised businesses in the franchised territory, help franchisees develop and open their Send Me a Pro franchised businesses, train them, and then help them during the terms of their Franchise Agreements.
Training Overview: The training program lasts approximately 30 hours and is held virtually, or in a location of the franchisor’s choosing. The franchisor will train up to two people including the operating principal. Prior to scheduling training, key pre-opening tasks must be completed such as locating and fitting out the business, hiring staff and any obtaining business-related licenses. The franchisor does not currently conduct, but may in the future, regional and/or national conferences. If and when it does, franchisees (or their operating principal) must attend a regional or national conference, which shall not occur more than one time per year. Franchisees (or their operating principal) and/or any previously-trained manager must attend any refresher or follow-up training that the franchisor designates.

Territory Granted: Franchisees will operate the area representative business within the franchised territory the franchisor approves. Franchisees will not receive an exclusive territory, however, their territory will be protected from other Send Me a Pro Area Representative business franchise owners, from outlets that the franchisor owns. Franchisees may operate their business only within the approved franchised territory. There is no specific minimum or maximum area the franchisor must include in the franchised territory, but it estimates that the area will contain a minimum of 500,000 people according to either relevant United States Census figures or its source tools used for territory mapping as of the effective date of the agreement.

Obligations and Restrictions: If franchisees are an individual, they must personally operate the franchised business at all times. Franchisees and any other manager, if any, must attend and successfully complete initial training. If franchisees are a legal entity, they must designate a managing shareholder, partner, or member, who must own at least 10% of the entity (the “operating principal”). Franchisees must offer for sale and sell only services and products that the franchisor has approved or authorized. Franchisees may not offer for sale or sell services or products that would detract from or be inconsistent with the system.

Term of Agreement and Renewal: The length of the initial franchise term is 10 years. If franchisees are in good standing and they meet other requirements, they have the right to renew the Area Representative Agreement for successive 10-year terms.

Financial Assistance: The franchisor does not offer direct or indirect financing. The franchisor does not guarantee an area representative franchisee’s note, lease, or any of the financial obligations.
