energie group | franchisee selection process

Becoming a franchisee is a two way selection process, as much as you need to feel that énergie is the right partner for you, we need to assess your suitability against our criteria. We receive a large number of enquiries each month but only a handful of franchises are granted.

Step 1: Enquiry and telephone screening

Following your review of the information contained within this prospectus, we invite you to complete the énergie First Step form and return it to us. You will subsequently be contacted by one of our team for an initial discussion to answer your questions and establish your suitability. Assuming you fulfil our franchisee criteria you will be invited to attend one of our regular Discovery sessions.

Step 2: Discovery Session

These regular sessions enable you to learn more about the exciting franchise products we offer in a relaxed environment and provide us both with the opportunity to get to know one another.

Step 3: Your research

After the Discovery session, we recommend that you conduct further research which may include; visiting an énergie franchise, asking your franchise recruitment team questions over the phone or calling an énergie franchisee to discuss their experience.

Step 4: Interview

Following your research, you will no doubt have many questions. The interview offers you the opportunity to discuss these with your franchise recruitment team and gives us a chance to assess your suitability for an énergie franchise. It is a good idea to bring along the completed application form so that we can review it together. If all your questions are answered and you are ready to proceed to the completion stage then we will require your application form along with your deposit.

Step 5: Approval

The final approval of your franchise application is subject to credit checks, personal reference verification and finally a presentation by one of your franchise recruitment team to our approvals committee. They will assess your application to confirm their confidence in your ability to make your franchise a success. A final interview may be required to discuss specific elements, but we aim to make a decision on your application within seven days from submission.

Step 6: Completion

Providing you are approved, the franchise agreement will then be given to you to review. Following on from this a completion date is set for the balance of the franchise fee to be paid and the agreement to be signed, after which your journey as an énergie franchisee begins.

We recognise that every franchisee has different requirements and therefore our franchise recruitment teams will work with you to guide you through the process in becoming an énergie franchisee.
