Understanding the Next Steps

Ride Along - Witness a business built on relationships

During the discovery process, you schedule a Ride Along with a Snap-on Tools franchisee. Franchisees spend their day building relationships and connecting with their customers, identifying their needs, and selling products and innovative solutions. You should expect to learn and experience first hand the Snap-on program:

  • Selling & Collection Process
  • Management of Daily Activities
  • Discover if a Snap-on Tools Franchise is the right fit for you

Below is a short video as a sneak peak of what the day in the life is really like!

After you take at least one ride-along with a franchisee business owner we'll want to hear your feedback and that of the owner you rode with to access the next step in the discovery process.

Investment

A Snap-on Tools Franchise business needs several components before it can open for business:

  • An expansive inventory of the best tools for your customers.
  • A mobile store designed to impress and support employees and customers
  • Accounts Receivable & Initial License Fee

Depending on the payment method for the various parts of the business, including the purchase of the mobile store, the initial out-of-pocket expense will vary. The initial out-of-pocket expenses for a franchise when using Snap-on financing starts from $10,000 to $31,500 plus $13,000 working capital for qualified applicants. Snap-on Finance can help qualified applicants finance the balance through a Mobile Store loan, a business loan which covers the franchise fee and inventory and a Revolving Accounts loan.

Financing

Snap-on is here to help, if qualified, Snap-on Finance can help with financing options. Other potential finance sources can include:

  • Your bank
  • Cash Payment

We recommend you speak with your financial, tax and legal advisors to determine your best financing options.

FDD Disclosure

The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is a document required of all franchisors by the Franchise Code of Conduct ("the Code") and is designed, in part, for your protection. It describes in detail the Snap-on Tools Franchise opportunity. As part of your upcoming call, our National Franchise Manager will provide you with the Snap-on Tools FDD and be available to help you further discover our Snap-on Tools franchise business.

Additional Information

As part of the discovery process, we will request you complete a DISC profile, a Nathan Profile, and a finance application. For additional information regarding the items you will need to accomplish prior to having the opportunity to purchase a Snap-on Tools Franchise business we have prepared an informational guide for you. You will have an opportunity to review the guide with your Franchise Manager during your upcoming call.
