Can I have a business partner even if I don't meet the financial requirements on my own?

A franchisee applicant may have a business partner, but must meet each financial requirement on their own.

What is the profitability of the business?

There is no simple answer to this question. There are many variables that make it impossible to predict future profitability with certainty such as location, sales, competition and your ability to manage and grow the business. For these reasons, we do not predict sales, costs, or profits for any future Medi-Weightloss Clinics^®. We encourage you to discuss the business with our existing franchisees as well as a competent attorney and accountant.
