The Mutual Investigation Process

We have developed a "Mutual Investigation Process" which allows both parties to exchange information in a sequential manner and proceed at their own pace. During this process you will be required to provide adequate information for us to evaluate your potential as a Concierge Home Services™ franchisee. At the same time, you will be receiving sufficient information from us about the franchise opportunity that will allow you to decide if you wish to move forward at each stage of the application process.

Step 1. The Initial Inquiry

The first step is to thoroughly read the information above. If you are still interested in pursuing a Concierge Home Services™ franchise, you should complete and submit the Initial On-line Inquiry Form located at the end of this section.

During this phase we will:

• Explain the total level of investment and minimum cash requirement
• Determine your preferred territory
• Discuss your time frame to opening
• Provide you with our Request for Information and Consideration Form

Step 2. Franchise Application

The next step is for you to complete the Request for Information and Consideration Form and forward it to our corporate office for our review.

Step 3. The Personal Meeting

We will review your Request for Information and Consideration Form within 5 business days. If you are qualified, your application will move forward in the award process and we will arrange a personal meeting at which time you will be required to execute a Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to being provided with more in-depth information.

Step 4. Offer to Purchase Agreement

Should we mutually decide to proceed, the next step is for you to:

• Receive a copy of the Franchise Agreement and a copy of our Disclosure Document (the "Franchise Documentation")
• You have a 14 day period in which to read and review the Franchise Documentation
• When that 14 day period has elapsed, you will execute our standard form of Offer to Purchase Agreement and pay a deposit of $5,000, which is fully refundable

Step 5. Review the Franchise Documentation

Once the Offer to Purchase Agreement has been executed and the deposit has been paid you have 15 days to:

• Have the Franchise Documentation reviewed by a lawyer who is experienced in the field of franchising *
• Execute the Franchise Agreement and pay the balance of the initial franchise fee (plus GST on the full amount of the initial franchise fee).

If during this 15-day period, you decide not to proceed with the franchise or we elect not to proceed with your application, your entire deposit will be returned to you without delay.

* We thoroughly review the Franchise Agreement with you so that you have a clear understanding of what is involved before you have it reviewed by a lawyer.
