After signing all the documents and certifying them with appropriate seals, the information on the new branch is immediately indicated on the official website. Contact details and the exact address of the laboratory are also indicated here.
As practice shows, most diagnostic tests, with the exception of the simplest ones, are carried out in large branches of INVITRO. The franchisee laboratory, as a rule, will only take the necessary samples of biological material. The received analyzes will be sent to the main branches and studied. After that, the franchisee laboratory will receive an answer and announce the results to the client. If during the work the partners have any questions or difficulties, the company promptly responds and answers as accurately as possible to inquiries. Communication is carried out not only by telephone, but also by e-mail.
In conclusion
Judging by the many reviews, the INVITRO franchise is a good option. The company fulfills all obligations according to the contract. However, many franchisees complain about a long payback period. After all, when opening a laboratory, an active advertising campaign is required to attract new customers.
This fact is compounded by the fact that royalties in the regions must be paid from the 25th month after the start of cooperation. In general, only a few franchise buyers are unhappy. Indeed, thanks to the control and assistance of the franchisor, their business is profitable, and the customer base is gradually increasing. The main thing is to choose the right place for the laboratory and follow the promotion scheme of the services of the INVITRO franchisor.
