Are you thinking of opening a new business? Entrepreneur magazine has listed Curves as one of the best low cost franchises. Before you jump into such a large investment of time and money, take the time to research and find out if this is the best choice for you. By purchasing a franchise you are purchasing an established business model, the company's reputation, and assistance that you would not have if you started a business from scratch. On the other hand, you will have an upfront payment, less flexibility, and often a monthly or yearly fee for this service.

Instructions

Step 1

Understand the benefits of purchasing a Curves franchise. There are many benefits of purchasing a Curves franchise. You will be buying a proven business model and positive reputation of name Curves. You will not only be provided initial training, but also mentoring and an ongoing support system. Also, you will own a business with low overhead due to the small physical size of the location, low upkeep on equipment, and limited employees needed.
Step 2

Understand the benefits of a new franchise territory and an already established Curves franchise. By purchasing a new franchise territory, you will have the flexibility of choosing the location and its size, furnishings, and the ability to begin with a clean slate. You will know that the facility was yours from the beginning and all that you achieve will be because of your decisions.
Step 3

Research the availability of a new franchise territory in an area you're interested in. To protect its franchisees, Curves limits the distance each facility can be from each other. To do this they will only allow one Curves location in each of its franchise territory. First study the information on their website at buycurves.com/buy-a-franchise. If you would like to check the availability of a specific location you can do so by clicking "contact us".
Step 4

Research the availability of an existing Curves franchise for sale in an area you're interested in. If there are no available franchise territories in areas you are interested in, or you would like to purchase an already established location; you can view the available sites at curvesresales.com. The website will have a complete listing of those sites available to purchase from Curves, or from the current owner.
Step 5

Request further information on the locations that interest you. Now that you have done your research and know which path you want to get information on, it can be easily requested online. If you want information on a new franchise territory, click on the "contact us" link at the bottom of the buycurves.com/buy-a-franchise page. If there is not an available territory you are interested in, or you would like an already established Curves; find a location you are interested in at curvesresales.com and "view more" (or choose "more" for those locations for sale by owner).
