What does a Remedy franchise cost?
It costs a modest amount. The investment required for a Remedy franchise is an initial franchise fee of $25,000, plus start-up costs to open your office. Remedy also recommends that six months working capital and living expenses are available. For more detailed information on regional operating and start-up costs contact our corporate franchise office or a regional developer.

The Remedy franchise fee grants you the right to the Remedy system. It also gives you the right to operate within an exclusive territory and provides for our extensive training, marketing and operational programs. Modest software licensing fees are also incurred.

We have numerous safeguards throughout the decision-making process to ensure that Remedy is the right choice for you. We know what to look for, and know how to identify those strengths that will increase your chance of success.

When you’ve decided Remedy is among your final choices, and we concur that you meet our criteria, we invite you to visit Remedy corporate headquarters for a “Decision Day” to meet our top executives, and to see our operation for yourself. You will learn more about us, and we’ll get to know you better. We’ll share with you the things we’ve learned from other successful franchisees. Well before you or Remedy enters into a formal franchise agreement, we will all be confident in the likelihood of your success.

How is Remedy different from its competitors?
Remedy leads the staffing industry with cutting-edge technology and provides mid-sized businesses innovative ways to earn a better return on their human resources investment. Remedy Intelligent Staffing consistently breaks new ground in this field, with unique approaches to staffing, and is well known throughout the industry for its use of technology to drive sales and profits. Here’s just a sample.

Human Performance Technology (HPT®) - Instead of relying on guesswork to determine the performance potential of our candidates, Remedy’s HPT uses state-of-the-art behavioral testing to test key behaviors such as work ethic and teamwork which are critical to a worker’s expected performance in an actual work environment.

Remedy Knowledge Bank™ - When a customer needs someone with a specific industry or position skill set, Remedy uses this exclusive web-based assessment tool to provide more than just a list of skills on a resume. Remedy Knowledge Bank shows our customers precisely how well a candidate knows each of the specific skills they need, from software programs to light industrial or customer service skills.

Remedy Manager Match™ - Developed in partnership with a leading industrial psychology firm, this breakthrough performance management tool helps our customers maximize the productivity of their workforce. Beginning where most selection processes end, Manager Match uses manager and employee personality assessments to provide managers with the information and insight they need to create more compatible, high-performance relationships.

Remedy X-Ray- A powerful self-screening system that quickly identifies and screens out undesirable job candidates who have integrity problems. By screening out undesirable, high-risk candidates, Remedy X-Ray helps build a more positive work environment where workers are more dependable, more focused and more productive.

Workforce Management Systems - Remedy clients need not withstand the sizeable burden of workforce management. Our time and attendance technology takes on this responsibility, tracking time, costs, attendance and performance for your clients.

3-D Sales Process: Remedy’s exclusive, interactive, multimedia presentation software emphasizes a three-step process—Define, Develop & Deliver—to enhance sales calls, and increase your percentage of successful sales closings.

Business Management System - Our integrated front and back office system matches associates to the appropriate job assignment and initiates payment to associates and billing to clients.

Why does Remedy want to expand into my area?
We’re growing the Remedy brand nationally, with aggressive expansion plans. Within a very short time we expect to expand our presence to each of the nation’s business centers. As part of our expansion, we have discovered many excellent high growth locations, where we are confident franchises would flourish.

Do you provide exclusive territories?
Yes, one of the attractive aspects of our program is that a Remedy franchisee has an exclusive right to a protected territory. Unlike some companies in the staffing industry, our territories are truly exclusive. By contract, other Remedy franchisees cannot open offices in your territory or call on prospective clients in your area.

What about the economy?
Historically, the staffing industry is a recession-resistant business. During Remedy's 40+ year history, we have been through several economic downturns. Often, there is an even greater utilization of temporary staffing when the economy slows down because client companies are reluctant to make long-term commitments to their employees. Remedy’s expansion continues to outpace the staffing industry average. Remedy's growth is real growth, not from acquisitions.

Can I own more than one office?
Yes, many franchisees have opened multiple offices in their territories. Also, many have expanded into new territories. In fact, some franchisees have created their own lucrative, regional Remedy chains. To read about some of these Remedy success stories, click here. Remedy encourages franchisees to grow. We fund your temporary worker's payroll and client receivables, which frees up your capital for expansion.

Can I start a Remedy office in an area where I have no contacts?
Yes, the strength of the Remedy system is such that a franchisee can open an office in an entirely unfamiliar market and still be very successful. In fact, many franchisees use Remedy as a way of moving to a new area to discover a fresh lifestyle. Always wanted the family-oriented lifestyle of a smaller city? Here’s a chance to try it. Perhaps you lived your whole life in the North and always wanted to take your family to a warmer climate. A Remedy franchise can help you realize these goals. Since the beginning of the Remedy Franchise Program in 1988, more than half our franchisees have successfully re-located to start their businesses. The Remedy system of management and technological resources has a way of opening doors for you. In many instances, our franchisees have moved to areas where they knew no one, and have thrived in the new location. That’s what is so great about Remedy—and being an owner of a Remedy franchise. You get the freedom to reach your goals and realize your life’s dreams. When you talk with a Remedy franchise development representative, please ask more about whether relocation is right for you.
