How the Golden Years Relocation Franchise Process Works
A Thoughtful, Mutual Path to Franchise Ownership
What Is the Golden Years Relocation Franchise Process?
The Golden Years Relocation franchise process is a step-by-step, mutual evaluation designed to help prospective franchise owners understand the business model, training, expectations, and support structure before making a decision. The process includes an initial inquiry, discovery conversation, Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) review, and onboarding prior to launch.
Step-by-Step: From Inquiry to Launch
Step 1: Initial Inquiry
The process begins when you request the Franchise Guide or express interest through our website. This allows you to learn about the Golden Years Relocation model, services, and values before any conversations take place.
Step 2: Discovery Call
If there appears to be initial alignment, you will be invited to schedule a discovery call. This is a two-way conversation focused on:
- Understanding your background and goals
- Explaining the Golden Years service model
- Answering high-level questions about training and support
Step 3: Mutual Qualification
Golden Years Relocation is selective by design. During this stage, both parties assess whether the opportunity is a strong mutual fit. We look for professionalism, empathy, and alignment with our service-first philosophy. You evaluate whether this business aligns with your expectations and lifestyle.
Step 4: Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) Review
Qualified candidates receive the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This document contains detailed information about fees, obligations, training, and the franchise relationship. You are encouraged to
- Take your time reviewing the FDD
- Ask questions
- Consult with legal or financial advisors
Step 5: Final Review and Approval
After the required review period, candidates who wish to move forward may proceed to final discussions and approval. This step confirms readiness, expectations, and next steps.
Step 6: Training and Onboarding
Approved franchise owners begin structured onboarding and training. This includes preparation for service delivery, operational systems, and brand standards before serving clients.
Step 7: Launch and Ongoing Support
Once onboarding is complete, franchise owners launch their business with ongoing support from the Golden Years Relocation team. Support continues beyond launch to help maintain consistency and professionalism.
