We�re confident that the more you know about Desert Sun, the more you�ll want to be part of our family of franchisees. So we encourage you to do your homework. Visit our web site where you�ll find the addresses for all our locations and learn much more about our company and your opportunity. We also encourage you to visit any of our tanning salons and ask to speak to the owner about his or her real life experiences and success stories. For your convenience and to assist you with your due diligence, we can provide you with the names and numbers of other franchisees as part of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). We know you�ll like what you hear!

When you're ready to join the Desert Sun team, we'll be beside you throughout the process � from the initial exploratory phase to your grand opening and beyond � helping you make decisions. Here's what you'll be asked to do:

  1. After thoroughly reviewing this document, complete a "Franchisee Personal Profile.� Then prepare a list of any questions you might have. Be ready to discuss both your profile and your questions during your next phone conversation with us. All applications for Desert Sun franchises are subject to our approval.
     
  2. Meet with us to review the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
     
  3. Set up a meeting to sign our confidentiality agreement and franchise agreement. At this stage, you'll pay the nonrefundable franchise fee to ensure your position in the order of salon openings. Now that you are a franchisee, we'll share more of our trade secrets, plus the details behind Desert Sun's success.
     
  4. Begin the site search and funding process for your salon.
     
  5. Find an ideal location. We will provide valuable research and demographic analyses from one of our commercial brokers. We'll also assist you in negotiating your Letter of Intent and building improvements with your landlord, making sure you get the most for your money.
     
  6. Begin the design and construction process.
     
  7. Equip your salon with tanning beds financed via your choice of loan, lease, or purchase. We have made this process extremely simple, so please turn to us for help with bed recommendations, vendors, and leasing companies.
     
  8. Begin on-site training for you and your employees - and get ready for your grand opening.
     
  9. Congratulations. You're in business!
