Starting any business is a long, complicated
process, consuming hundreds of hours and many thousands of dollars
before you are able to collect for your first service. Starting a home
infusion therapy business multiplies all of these parameters because of
the complexity of the industry and the pressures of assuming the care of
someone in their home. Because of these issues, we are convinced that
the fastest, safest entry into this potentially highly profitable
business is to become a Vital Care, Inc. franchise.
The basic cost of franchising with Vital Care is
the initial cost of the franchise territory, and the on-going royalty
payments on collected revenue.
