Complete and Return the Personal Profile FormYour journey starts with a simple first step: completing the Personal Profile Form. Once you submit your information through our Home Page, our Franchise Development Team will review your background, goals, and preferred Wisconsin market, whether it’s Lake Geneva, Madison, Green Bay, or another community. From there, you’ll be invited to an initial, no-obligation conversation to explore your vision and outline the next steps toward business ownership. |

Receive and Review the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)Once mutual interest is established, you’ll receive our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), offering a comprehensive overview of Assisting Hands®—including financial performance, investment ranges, and operational structure. This step provides full transparency, enabling you to evaluate the opportunity with confidence. You’ll also discover how our lower royalty and advertising fund contributions allow you to reinvest more of your revenue directly into your local business. |

Speak to Our Franchise OwnersThe next step is all about connection and validation. You’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with current franchise owners—especially those in Wisconsin—to hear firsthand about their experiences, daily operations, and the support they receive from both their Area Representative and the corporate team. This candid exchange gives you a clear understanding of what success looks like within the Assisting Hands® network. |

Attend Discovery DayYour Discovery Day is an exciting milestone in your journey. Typically hosted at our headquarters or a scenic Idaho ranch, this immersive experience offers an inside look at the Assisting Hands® culture, leadership, and values. You’ll meet the executive team, connect with your Wisconsin Area Representative, Richard E. Ueberfluss, PT, MBA, FACHE, and dive deep into how we support you through launch and beyond. You’ll also gain hands-on insights into caregiver recruitment, local marketing strategies, and operational best practices, equipping you with the knowledge to hit the ground running. |
