Together We’re the Best in Dental
When you invest in a FLOSS franchise we wanted to make sure that onboarding your time and talent into the family would meet your expectations for getting off to a great start. In addition to providing mentor contacts and having interaction with every member of your staff, we have put together a suite of tools including an operations manual and a short, but thorough and intense training program. We love working with our new and existing brand partners to further advance the FLOSS mission.
FLOSS Dental Model Superiority
As the dental industry continues to evolve, new variations on well-used business models are being utilized to grow investor-owned dental brands and dental groups. We have studied and monitored these emerging models and models being used to expand other sectors in healthcare such as privately-owned urgent care clinics. Over the last few years a small team of executives has hand-crafted, streamlined and perfected the FLOSS model.
Organized Assistance from Day One
When the plan became to create a large network via the franchise business model, we knew it would be best to go through the process of bringing new franchisees on board several times so we could iron out rough spots before establishing any long-term processes. This allowed us to establish systems and processes for new owners to more easily and efficiently launch their FLOSS practices. All owners get assigned to a mentor at FLOSS.
When you become a new FLOSS owner you will be introduced to the brand via a one-week introduction and training program hosted at our corporate offices. We organize and share the information that ensures your success. Our support email, online training portal, and toll-free service was set up so we are always available to help you even when we aren’t together.
Every Dental Business Aspect Covered
Thorough is one of the pillar personality traits of the FLOSS brand. We believe that it isn’t possible to know the dental industry inside and out without educating ourselves and continuing to do research. The professionals building the FLOSS brand decided that they wanted to provide A New Experience in Dental. Being always fresh and new as a brand requires us to remain committed to always keeping the entire FLOSS family informed of what’s new and next.
It starts with the Franchise Disclosure Document and the Discovery Day (if you choose to participate). We take you through the equivalent of a prospectus you would get with any stock purchase. When a franchise agreement is signed new owners get access to the FLOSS operations manual.
All Aboard to Brand Authority
FLOSS Dental is a brand that has an image and aesthetic that attracts people, by design. The brand’s personality has taken a life of its own and those who are building the brand’s image like to be referred to as ‘FLOSSY’, which is the drama-free, ahead-of-the-pack attitude they bring to work every day. As every new location is added to the network, FLOSS’s authority and awareness grows. That’s an investment we can all get behind.
You’re Invited to Kick Our Tires
We understand that choosing a brand to put on your practice might come with a desire to get to know who you are partnering with first. Because of this, FLOSS created what we call a Discovery Day that we hold on Friday afternoons at our corporate office. It is like an open house, but during your visit we go through the Franchise Disclosure Document which gives a thorough description of what is involved with the partnership.
The Discovery Day allows you to get a vibe for what FLOSS, and the people who are creating and building it, is like. We encourage you to set aside a Friday to do this if you are considering an investment. We have not had a single investor come to this day that we do not work with or remain in contact with today. When associates and those considering converting their practice to a FLOSS leave, they leave considering not if, but when they will start their new FLOSS. We even reimburse any new franchisee $500 for travel expenses for discovery day when they choose to invest. We’d like to spend a Friday with you!
We’re Financing Mavens
When it comes to starting up new dental practices the investment required isn’t insignificant. Because of this, we have done a lot to ensure that we are able to help those who want to invest in a new FLOSS with putting together the financing to do so. We can help secure loans up to 100% of the startup cost for startups. For conversions we are able to help secure construction and equipment loans. Another we have been able to finance is through acquisition loans (when you buy a practice and convert it to a FLOSS).
We assist new investors in the packaging of the loan (we help with a business plan) and placing the loan with the right bank from a stable of viable lenders we are building relationships with. We help you based on your current financial wherewithal and no loan is too difficult. We offer assistance with conventional, non-conventional and SBA loans, giving you a wide variety of financing options. We leverage our experience to help you get the funding you need.
The Three Investment Levels
FLOSS categorizes its investors as individual franchise unit, conversions, and multi (area developers and/or master franchise investors).
The fees associated with investing on each of these levels varies, but whether you own one FLOSS or fifty, you get the same level of unconditional service to support you as you build your practice. In their first-hand dealings with the franchise support team, investors learn early on that ownership comes with a whole group of people dedicated to their success.
Grow With Floss
Household names are empowered to do things that other brands never dream of. FLOSS is a deliberate, strategically planned effort to provide quality dental to more people than any single entity ever has before. No matter when you get in, the value in your investment continues to grow.
