Yes, we require each franchisee to have a brick-and-mortar office location in their approved franchise territory. We consider the following factors when choosing an office location:
We offer protected franchise territories in every state, from coast to coast. You will work with our executive team to determine a specific operating territory prior to signing the franchise agreement. This territory will be described by reference to specified ZIP codes.
Every protected territory has a population of approximately 200,000 individuals. The exact geographic area of each is decided on a market-by-market basis, and we divide major metropolitan markets into multiple territories. Once decided, your physical office will have to be within your assigned territory.
It typically takes 90 days to open your franchise from the time the franchise agreement is signed. During this time, our team will assign your territory, provide thorough training to you and your staff, and advise on marketing strategies.
Prior staffing experience helps to create a strong foundation for AtWork franchisees, but it is not required. Any outgoing, entrepreneurial-minded person with a sales, management, customer service, or communications background can succeed with AtWork.
AtWork primarily specializes in light industrial and clerical staffing. Examples of positions in this industry include warehouse workers, forklift drivers, maintenance techs, and production roles.
