Frequently Asked Questions

Franchisee must be a full-time owner operator with critical skill sets in sales, marketing and/or customer service. They must enjoy networking and serving others because we are in the people business. We look for franchisees who are committed to our Fastest Labs model and have a passion for our industry. We search for extremely positive people who are driven to succeed.

It is very important that you are involved in and understand the day-to-day operations of your new business. You must be able to commit to working and growing your Fastest Labs full-time daily. We are open 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, with true “Bankers Hours.” No medical experience is required.

Training is invaluable, so there are no shortcuts at Fastest Labs. There are approximately three weeks of training. Franchisees receive two weeks of training before coming to our training facility in San Antonio for one full week of hands-on training. We utilize a combination of online university training, live webcam training, and in-person certifications. All training, operations manuals, sales and marketing training, day-to-day operational training, and all certifications are included in the franchise fee. In addition, the hotel suite, lunches, graduation dinner, and daily transportation during training week are included and provided so that you can focus on training for your new business.

We are here every step of the way and provide enthusiastic support to our franchise family members. Ongoing training and day-in and day-out support are available from 9 am to 5 pm during Fastest Labs home office hours of operation. Monthly conference calls, annual conferences, and a dedicated franchisee support team help make our support second to none. Fastest Labs provides an online software platform to connect all our vendors, franchisees, and support teams. This allows quick and easy access to operations manuals, Fast Chat social hub, FAQ forums, and high-tech tools to mature each franchise location. Fastest Labs was recently awarded the FBR Franchise Business Review Top 50 award for high franchisee satisfaction due to unmatched franchisee support.

We work directly with franchisees to build a viable territory based on a thorough demographic study. Fastest Labs subscribes to a high-tech demographic software system. Our highest concern is to make sure that a franchise territory is adequate for a Fastest Labs franchise. We require that a territory has a minimum of 100,000 in population and a minimum of 7,500 in business counts. Territories are awarded based on the qualifications of the franchise candidate, their financial ability to capitalize on a new market, and their skill sets, but more importantly, their desire to succeed in our industry. We made a critical decision to award franchise territories rather than merely sell territories.

Fastest Labs offices are typically 800 to 1,000 square feet and are considered class B or C office space. The typical configuration includes a reception room, two separate bathrooms, two testing areas with a sink and countertop area, a couple of private offices, and a storage area. Our most desirable floorplan and layout are available upon request.

Fastest Labs does not offer financing, however we have fantastic relationships with several financial institutions. We can introduce you to several lenders that we have worked with numerous times that provide SBA, IRA, 401K and traditional funding methods.

The royalty is a low 7%.
