OUR
ADVANTAGE
We are pleased that our
clinics are successful and profitable. We continue to thrive,
grow and exceed the competition. There are three primary
reasons for our success.”
1)Our weight loss program is highly effective.
...We
feel that we have higher client-success results than any
other system in existence today. This reputation leads to
referrals. In established clinics, a large percentage of
new business comes through referrals from existing clients.
2) We offer the client plenty of flexibility.
...Our
clients can buy supermarket food. They can go to restaurants.
They are not restricted to packaged foods. We have four different
weight loss plans, depending on the individual’s gender,
weight, age, and medical condition. We also have many
specialty plans with those who have special needs, medical
conditions, or allergies. We help the client to better
understand his/her own weight loss issues.
3) We have one of the strongest franchisee-support program in
the weight loss industry.
...We
feel that our training and ongoing education is the best,
and that it produces the best counselors and franchisees.
Consequently, it is through the strength of our greatest
resource, our personnel, that we enjoy our greatest
advantage.

“Beverly Hills taught me
everything I needed to know to jump-start my business in
1999, and my profits continue to grow and grow year after
year. It’s extremely satisfying to me to watch my clients
lose weight, get healthier, and be a lot happier.” |
”There was a great peace of mind in
coming to Beverly Hills as a franchise owner,
because the training is so excellent! The management
really cares about what we are able to do for our
clients. My background is in the insurance industry.
In insurance, I took a little fraction of the
premium and sent the company all the rest. With
Beverly Hills, it’s just the opposite. They get the
little fraction, I get all the rest!” |
THE
DAILY OPERATION
The
Beverly Hills Weight Loss & WellnessŪ clinic is a simple
business to operate, with our training and support. It does
NOT have the headaches of retail, restaurant, or complex
operations.

safe, clean environment, with NO receivables, NO membership
dropouts, NO expensive equipment to maintain, and NO evening
hours.
Our
clinics have relatively few employees and low inventory,
so expenses are low. In addition to the initial Franchise
Fee of $25,000, there is an on-going weekly royalty
fee of 6% of the franchisee's weekly gross sales.
OUR
MODEL FOR SUCCESS
We believe in building
long-lasting relationships.
A key factor in achieving
this goal is to provide the assistance and the tools when

WellnessŪ is an organization dedicated to doing everything
in its power to make your franchise successful because, "We
not only believe in long-lasting health but also in long-lasting
relationships."
 FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What
would my duties be as a Beverly Hills Franchisee?
A. Your
main work would be to implement a successful, proven system
of supporting your clients' self-esteem and confidence.
Your client may have been through every imaginable fad diet,
group training, and exercise regimen only to lose a few pounds
and then gain it all back. We bring a different perspective.
We deal with the cause, not the effect. Beverly Hills’ individual
counseling approach matches up the client with a partner
who helps and supports them in losing their target weight
and keeping it off. Your work would involve continued training
of your counselors and to instill a positive atmosphere
for your clients and counselors.
Q. How
many counselors will I have, and how difficult is it to find
them?
A. You
may only have one or two full-time counselors at first, and
perhaps a part-timer. We do not require our counselors to
have nutritional or weight-loss experience, as we provide a very specialized
training. Most of our counselors are former clients, and/or have overcome
weight loss issues of their own. We look for a candidate with good people
skills and a pleasing personality. Since nutrition has very popular
interest, we have no problem in attracting good quality
candidates.
Q. What
does it take to financially qualify?
A. The total investment can range from about
$50K to $80K or so. If you wish to use one of the available
financing sources you would need a minimum of $25,000 liquid
cash.
Q. I
need to replace a generous professional income. Will I be
able to do this?
A. Yes.
Although we are restricted somewhat on how we relate
potential income, the clinics can produce executive-level
earnings in the first year, assuming good effort is made.
