Your Path to World Options Franchise Ownership

Starting a business is a major decision, and it’s important to have the right information to determine what’s best for you and your family. The World Options Discovery Process is designed to give you a clear, transparent view of what it means to own a shipping and logistics franchise. Throughout the process, you’ll learn about our business model, the industry, and the support systems in place, while connecting with our franchise development team to assess mutual fit based on your goals and expectations.

All franchise candidates complete our Discovery Process, which typically takes 30 -60 days, though it can be completed sooner depending on your availability. You’ll be guided every step of the way by a dedicated Development Director as you meet our leadership team, connect with current franchise owners, explore our shipping platform and carrier network, review financial performance insights, and gain a full understanding of the World Options franchise opportunity. Reach out today to begin your journey toward franchise ownership with World Options.

Steps to Owning Your World Options

Understanding Your Goals & Decision Criteria

People pursue franchise ownership for many reasons—greater control over their future, flexibility, or creating opportunities for family. At World Options, our team is committed to understanding your individual goals as you explore franchise ownership.

Together, we’ll take the time to learn about your background, priorities, decision criteria, and investment range to ensure the opportunity aligns with what you’re looking to achieve.

Brand Webinar Review

If World Options appears to be a good fit after discussing your goals and criteria, a Development Director will walk you through the World Options franchise opportunity during an interactive, one-on-one brand webinar. This session covers our vision, growth objectives, and unique value proposition within the shipping, freight, and logistics space. You’ll also gain a clear understanding of the business model and the traits, mindset, and habits that contribute to success as a World Options franchise owner.

If we mutually agree the fit is right, we’ll outline the next steps and move forward according to a clear timeline.

Complete Our Confidential Application

Now that we have taken a detailed look at the features, benefits, and operations of starting a franchise with World Options, we’ll ask you to complete our online Confidential Application. We do not share your information with anyone outside the World Options management team. It should take no more than ten minutes to complete and submit.

You are under no obligation to join the World Options network after completing the Confidential Application.

Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) Review

Next, we’ll send and review with you our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). The FDD is a required document for all franchisors and includes details of the franchisor-franchisee relationship. It is a comprehensive collection of information, including our company background, management team, a detailed breakdown of the total investment, current franchisee lists, our company financials, and much more.

We’ll go through the main sections of the FDD so you understand the many benefits of starting a franchise in our system, including your and World Options’ responsibilities that will contribute to our mutual success. We’ll also do a detailed review of the FDD at your Discovery Day.

Validation With Franchisees

You’ll have the opportunity to speak with active World Options owners prior to attending our Discovery Day to find out why this is the best franchise to own. Most new franchisee candidates will speak with multiple owners during their due diligence process.

While there is great consistency in a franchise system, there is great diversity amongst its operating franchise owners. People, just like you, from all walks of life, find their happiness and success being a part of a franchise system.

Discovery Day

Discovery Day is the most crucial step to learn about World Options firsthand. Held in Lakewood, Colorado (just west of Denver), you’ll have the opportunity to meet our executive team, experience our culture, see our proprietary operating systems and technology, and get any final questions answered to decide whether World Options is the “right” franchise for you.

At Discovery Day, you are not required to sign any contracts, pay any franchise fees, etc. Rather, the World Options team will do our best to candidly answer all of your questions so you can pragmatically and confidently make an informed decision.

Joining the World Options Network

Finally, after discovery day, our team will send you the Franchise Agreement. While your journey to entrepreneurship is now complete, your relationship with World Options and your future success is just beginning!

Launch in as Little as 30-60 Days!

Now the fun begins! You’ll complete four days of virtual training and then come to Lakewood, Colorado, for two intensive days of in-person operations and sales training to help set you up for success from day one. Because World Options does not require a brick-and-motar location, you can launch your World Options in as little as 30-60 days from the initial conversation.
