F.A.Q

What is the franchising process?

After your initial inquiry and follow-up you will have several discussions with the Arcube team followed by the submission of a personal profile and request for consideration form. Once you are approved we urge you to visit the Arcube Franchising Inc. (AFI) headquarters at which point you will be provided with the Franchise Agreement and the UFOC for your review and acceptance. Once the Franchise Agreement documents are signed and approved you will be scheduled for the initial training at the Arcube Head Quarters.

How long does it take to get an approval?

Franchisee selection is done by a franchisee review board. The board meets once every two weeks to review potential franchisee applications. Candidate selection is done on equal opportunity basis and is based upon perceived ability of a franchisee to sell, operate, manage and grow a business in the specified area.

Do I have to be actively involved in the business day-to-day?

Every Arcube Franchise must be under the direct management of a designated manager who must devote his or her full-time in person to operate the franchise.

Can I start an Arcube Franchise anywhere I want?

We are currently offering franchises for particular geographic areas. Please contact AFI management for opening a franchise at your location.

How much experience do I need?

We will train you and your employees in operations, policy & procedures so that you can run an Arcube Franchise. We believe the most successful operators will have had prior sales experience and/or are knowledgeable about the product. The most important quality is your desire and efforts to succeed.

Does Arcube grant protective territories?

The franchise to operate an Arcube Franchise is for a specific area. This does not prevent an Arcube franchisee to secure customers in other unexplored territories. Refer to the UFOC for treatment of accounts and customers once the unexplored territories are franchised.

What kind of ongoing support do you offer?

Ongoing supervision and assistance is offered (but not limited) to the following: protection of trademarks & logo through on-going compliance review and inspection; new product development; on-going creative evolution of the concept; on-going sales and technical support, collection and analysis of sales data; on-going group purchasing initiatives; formulation and oversight of national or regional marketing & promotions; ongoing product and image support.

Is there any charge for training?

An initial Two week training is included in the franchise fee. Any person in charge of day-to-day management of a franchise must have successfully completed the training program. Additional training is available at the rates disclosed in the UFOC.

Do you offer financial assistance?

We, nor any person affiliated with us offers, directly or indirectly, any financing arrangements to you or other franchisees.

Can I use a third party to finance the equipment?

We advise you to use any relevant party, bank or leasing company to finance the purchase of the equipment. The equipment purchase has tax implications based on whether it is purchased or leased. Please consult your accountant regarding the best way to proceed.

What do I do about buying equipment?

All equipment and materials should be purchased from AFI. This ensures ease of support, uniform quality and ability to interchange defective equipment.

Who do I purchase my salable goods from?

Because quality is of paramount importance to Arcube we require that all our franchisees use the best quality media through AFI or its approved suppliers.

How much can I expect to make running an Arcube Franchise?

Your ability to earn will depend on your efforts, your geographical area, general economic conditions, accessibility of the premises and your capabilities. Universal Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) addresses questions about your earning potential.
