AFC Franchising Blog

Starting an urgent care franchise is a great career opportunity. No franchise should be undertaken without a full understanding of what you can expect from the franchisor, and AFC knows that we can’t be successful unless our franchisees are successful.

Opening an urgent care center is an exciting step in your career, so imagine how exciting it can be to open multiple urgent care centers. The great thing about American Family Care franchises is that you don’t just have the opportunity to run a single business but as many as you can handle. We want our franchisees to feel like they can grow as much as possible within our franchise system, and this means giving them room to expand. It does take an ambitious entrepreneur to operate multiple units, and you must possess a certain temperament, but those who have been there before know it’s worth it.

When choosing a franchise, it’s common to put long-term growth and profitability at the forefront of your mind. However, many entrepreneurs are also motivated by the desire to get involved in a business that allows them to help people in need. With an urgent care business, you will be providing a comprehensive range of much-needed services, and offering medical care at a far more affordable rate than the exorbitantly-priced emergency room.

A good franchisor provides the necessary support to its franchisees to make them feel well-equipped to succeed. Opening an urgent care center shouldn't be any different, and doesn't have to be. When you invest in an American Family Care franchise, it's not: the success of our franchisees comes first, because when you thrive, everyone does.

When you decide to open an urgent care franchise, you’re usually doing so because you want to take that next big step in your career, and give yourself the best chance of succeeding financially. The great thing about American Family Care franchises is the ability to not just own one unit, but as many as you want! We want our franchisees to feel like they can grow as much as possible within our franchise system, and this means giving them room to expand. It takes a unique, ambitious entrepreneur to undertake multi-unit ownership, but those who have been there before know it’s worth it.

Before opening your own walk-in clinic, it’s important to know what sets walk-in clinics apart from other medical care options, like hospitals and emergency rooms. An urgent care walk-in clinic has the benefit of offering patients professional medical care without the hefty hospital bills and without the frustrating ER wait time. Patients also choose urgent care because of its affordability, as it can be a fraction of the cost of a visit to the ER. Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering the advantages of opening your own urgent care center. 

The idea of owning a franchise in a completely new industry can seem overwhelming. Especially when it comes to the medical industry, the number of business and market nuances can seem intimidating. Well, you’re not alone. Even in the medical field, many franchisees have never worked in medicine before, nor previously owned a franchise or business. American Family Care understands this, and it’s why we’ve developed a sophisticated infrastructure designed to make it easy for franchises to transition to urgent care center ownership, regardless of professional experience. By possessing the personal qualities that define a good franchisee and taking advantage of our established business model and training programs, your franchise startup experience will be smoother than you ever imagined.
