STEPS TO OWNERSHIP
Your path to a Serengeti Franchise ownership is more than an application process; it’s one of the most consequential decisions you will make in your working life. Whether you are a clinician looking to extend your impact beyond the exam room, a professional seeking a values‑driven career shift, or an investor building a purpose‑led portfolio, our process is designed to help you evaluate this opportunity on your terms.
The steps below are designed to be transparent and collaborative, a positive two‑way exploration where we learn about you, you learn about us, and you gain the clarity, confidence, and insights you need to make informed decisions about your next chapter.
You fill out the franchise inquiry form, name, contact, state of interest, and a couple of quick background questions. Within one business day, a member of our franchise team reaches out to introduce themselves and schedule a short, no-pressure call.
A 15–20 minute conversation with our franchise development team, focused on your background, what’s drawing you to home care, and your high-level questions. We cover what Serengeti is and isn’t, and what a realistic timeline and investment look like, so by the end of the call, both sides know whether a deeper conversation makes sense.
Review the legal and financial picture with care.
If we agree to move forward, you will receive our Franchise Disclosure Document, the full legal and financial picture of the opportunity. By law, you have a minimum 14-day review period, and we recommend using that time with a qualified franchise attorney and an accountant; good questions after FDD review are the sign of a serious candidate.
Confirm the market you can build in.
We work with you to evaluate and confirm your target territory, population, demographics, referral ecosystem, competitive landscape, and alignment with Serengeti’s growth map. The goal is to make sure the territory we protect for you is one you can actually build a strong business in.
Meet the people and operation behind the model.
You come to our Federal Way, Washington headquarters to meet Dr. Munanga, Josephine, and the operating team in person, tour a real Serengeti operating location, and ask anything – financial, clinical, operational, cultural, personal. Discovery Day is designed so you leave either fully confident in the decision or confident that it isn’t the right fit.
Formalize the relationship and prepare to launch.
Once both sides are aligned, we execute the Franchise Agreement and you pay the franchise fee. At this point, your territory is formally protected, your launch team is assigned, and your 90-day countdown to opening begins.
Move from signed agreement to open doors
You complete the 5-day onboarding in Renton (or virtually) and move into your structured 3-month launch window, state licensure, ACHC-aligned documentation setup, initial caregiver hiring, referral-partner outreach, and first clients. Your launch lead is on standing weekly calls with you until you are open and stable.
Our Franchise Brochure provides a clear, value‑packed overview of what it takes, what you get and why Serengeti Franchise ownership is a smart choice.
It brings together the Serengeti story, how the model works day to day, the investment ranges, and the support you can count on as an owner.
Take a deep dive into the details of this high-impact, value-driven opportunity and come to your introductory call with additional questions that clarify the possibilities for your next chapter.
See the one thing corporate-national franchises cannot match.
Discovery Day is where most prospects make their decision, not because of a pitch, but because they meet Dr. Munanga and Josephine personally and see the operation they built from the ground up.
You tour a real Serengeti location, watch how a clinically led home care agency runs in practice, and talk candidly with the founders about what support has looked like for the owners who came before you.
It is the clearest demonstration of the one thing no corporate-national franchise can match: founder-direct ownership of the standard of care and the relationship with every franchisee in the system.
“Excellent service and care. Dennis and James took excellent care of my father. James took extra time out of his day to reach out to me personally, to see how I was doing after my dad passed. I highly recommend them.”
