Once you have signed a franchise agreement, you will need to complete a training program and obtain the necessary licenses and permits. You will also need to purchase a fleet of vehicles, set up an office, and hire staff.
Once you are up and running, you will be responsible for marketing your Zipcar franchise and managing the day-to-day operations. Zipcar will provide ongoing support and assistance to help you succeed.
