Building a successful business starts with an effective launch.  We have a solid development program to get you through the transition to becoming a Paradon Franchisee.  After all, you may only build one clinic in your lifetime.  We are constantly planning, building and improving our franchisee clinics.

Ideal Candidates

You may be asking, “What does Paradon look for in a franchisee”?  As with any successful company we’re looking for great people that will grow into outstanding franchisees.  The number one characteristic we’re looking for?  A desire to learn and evolve.  If you are looking for NEW CHALLENGES, then you’re half way there.  Successful franchises rely on standardized systems and processes to ensure consistency and quality.  So great franchisees also have to TRUST that the training, systems and processes we use, work.  Lastly, and most importantly, you need a passion to manage a team delivering high-quality healthcare to people in your community.
 

Achieving Results

You may be wondering how your clinic will achieve results for clients.  Rest assured, our franchisees’ clinics are built on a foundation of EDUCATION, ACHIEVEABLE GOALS, CLIENT PARTICIPATION and OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT.  You will be trained on easy to follow, yet highly effective, patient care techniques, and treatment protocols, that enable you to run a high-quality, patient-centric clinic.  Your staff will educate your clients on their health needs so they’ll follow their clinical program, and together, with your client, realistic goals will be based on their HEALTHSTYLE ‘wants’ to ensure their participation. Finally, using objective measurements, your staff will demonstrate patient progress ensuring ongoing commitment to their health.  Paradon will work with you throughout by providing support in recruiting, training and staff development to produce optimal results for your clients.
 

Franchising Staff

To run a successful clinic you need more than great systems and processes - you need great staff to execute them.  At Paradon, building your clinic team starts with our recruiting programs, supported by our recognized branding as a great place to work.  Unlike small clinic operators, we can effectively target top professional schools, work with regional and national industry organizations and present at events chosen specifically to recruit excellent candidates.  Unlike small clinic operators, Paradon staff participate in clinical rounds with their peers from other Paradon locations; constantly learning and growing as practitioners and improving their ability to deliver leading-edge whole health care to your clients.  Unlike small clinic operators, our unique, performance-based compensation and personnel development programs ensure your staff is aligned with your business objectives.  We have an unbeatable and uncomparable system for recruiting, motivating and retaining your staff.
 

Start-Up Clinic Model

Are you working in someone else’s clinic but thinking of heading out on your own?  Just about to graduate from school and looking at whether you should start your own clinic or work with someone for awhile?  Are you ambitious, willing to work hard in exchange for a chance to earn a very comfortable living, be in charge of your own destiny and perfect a work-life balance earlier than your peers?  Then owning a Paradon franchise may be just what you’re looking for.

Instead of having to figure it all out by yourself, opening a Paradon franchise provides you with all the tools, access to financing options, equipment discounts, marketing and staffing support, that you would not have the time or experience to access on your own – all for a cost of entry about the same as opening your own clinic.  As in life there are no guarantees of success, but many of our Clinic Directors opened their own clinics within a few years of graduation and are earning substantially more than their fellow graduates are now. 

And the work is exciting too! Instead of having a sole professional focus, you’ll be running an inter-disciplinary clinic where you can address your patient’s whole health needs from assessment through ongoing care programs.  Participate in professional rounds with like-minded professionals.  And through our system be in a position to open multiple clinics years ahead of when you’d be ready without having Paradon as your partner in better health.

Paradon also has two unique programs catering to younger Start-Up Clinic candidates:
 

Turn-Key Program

Our ‘ Turn-Key’ program is an ‘elite’ program for those who are interested in starting a clinic soon after school is complete or for those employed in another clinic who want to continue earning while their clinic is being set up.  If you have a year or two of clinic or healthcare or business experience, and are comfortable stepping into the role of a Clinic Director with minimal training, then this may be the program for you.  Successful applicants pay a franchise fee up-front.  Then while the clinic is being ‘built-out’ (with applicants making key decisions like location, staffing, etc.) the applicants will shadow a Paradon Clinic Director for 6-8 weeks to learn the key elements of assessing and designing care protocols, running clinic operations, staffing, marketing, etc. The work experience is designed to end when your clinic is ready to open.


Conversion Clinic Model

Do you have an existing clinic but looking to improve it?  Have you been searching for the right ideas through reading articles, doing web research, attending conferences?  Have you hired a Practice Management Consultant only to find out that the energy of new ideas left the building before they were implemented, or even before the bills were paid?  Are you ambitious and entrepreneurial but willing to follow a proven system in order to obtain the results you know are possible?  Then perhaps a Paradon franchise is what you’re looking for.

Paradon looks carefully at existing clinics to evaluate whether or not we believe our system will work – if we don’t believe you stand to gain from working with us then we won’t accept you as a potential candidate.  We start by doing a Clinic Position Assessment – where your clinic is today and where you really want to take it?  We’ll evaluate your current economics (how you’re doing) against how our average clinics do.  And after you’ve officially applied to be a Franchisee you’ll meet with our head office team and current franchisees so both sides can ensure there’s a fit.
