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.

Franchisee Stacy Thibodeau, Stuart, FL.

Franchisee Susan Soots, Statesville, NC.

“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!”

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.
