How do you get started with Tuffy? Fill out the following Qualification Sheet. Once we process your information and see that you meet our preliminary qualifications, we will contact you to review your Qualification Sheet and make arrangements to send you our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which will provide you with additional information regarding Tuffy. The FDD is available in paper or electronic formats. Unless you specify otherwise, the FDD will be mailed to you in paper format. If you would prefer to receive it in electronic format, an active email account and Adobe Acrobat Reader are necessary.
Once you have reviewed the FDD, the next stop would be to set up your initial interview at our headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. During that day, you will learn all about the various aspects of The Tuffy Franchise System from real estate development and financing to advertising and shop operations. That initial interview gives both parties the opportunity to determine whether we’re right for one another.
