Home/Medical Franchises
Medical franchises include urgent care clinics, primary care concepts, physical therapy, dental, vision, and specialty medical services. These franchises often require licensed-operator structures and involve higher regulatory complexity, but they benefit from insurance-driven revenue and consistent demand. A careful FDD review — including Item 1 ownership rules and Item 11 support services — is especially important in this category.
