The Back Nine’s onboarding process is designed to guide franchisees seamlessly from initial setup to a successful launch. It consists of three key phases: Pre-Lease, where
franchisees complete essential training, secure insurance, identify contractors, and sign their lease; Build-Out, focusing on ordering equipment, setting up signage, pricing
memberships, and finalizing marketing strategies; and Home Stretch, where final installations, media connections, membership recruitment, and grand opening preparations take
place. This structured approach ensures a smooth transition into operations while setting up franchisees for long-term success.
