THE DISCOVERY PROCESS

At Always Best Care, we believe in providing you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about our business franchise opportunities. Our prospectus and franchise agreement, collectively known as our franchise disclosure document, or FDD, has comprehensive information regarding all matters of importance to prospective franchisees. Its purpose is to protect the public by providing information about the franchise company. Your prospectus and franchise agreement are the indispensable "twin tablets” of franchising — essential legal documents that spell out the relationship between the franchisor and franchisees. They inform prospective franchisees of their rights and obligations before they sign the franchise agreement. Your Franchise Development Specialist will gladly provide you with the Always Best Care prospectus and franchise agreement for your area.   There are 23 categories of information that are provided by Always Best Care to prospective franchisees; these categories include:
