Affiliate vs Franchise

There are two ways to work with Astralis. One gives you the full framework — territory, training, systems, and ongoing support. The other gives you the brand and the basics with fewer requirements.

Franchise model

For entrepreneurs and established operators who want a proven structure behind them. You receive exclusive territory, training, and ongoing support. You run your business under Astralis standards. That's what keeps the brand worth being part of.

*Not available in United States, except in Florida.

Exclusive territory

No competing with other Astralis franchisees in your market. You get exclusive country-level territory — room to build, grow, and own your region.

Brand consistency

A brand is only as strong as its worst location. Franchisees follow Astralis standards so that every customer, everywhere, gets the same experience.

Training & support

We provide full training before you open. Ongoing support and training once you do. We stay involved because your success is tied to ours.

Affiliate model

For operators who want to operate under the Astralis brand while keeping their existing business intact. You maintain full control of your operations, though with less support, fewer resources, and without the framework the franchise model provides.

Business independence

You manage your own operation. Astralis brand and operational standards apply, but the day-to-day is yours to run.

Lower capital investment

A lower initial investment than the franchise model — but so is the level of support, resources, and infrastructure behind you.

Use of the Astralis brand

You get a license to use the Astralis brand. It's trademarked. We control who uses it — and we're selective about it.

Support

We provide the training you need to get started and meet Astralis standards. You'll also have access to Rentanium, our rental management system. For continued operational support, the franchise model is the better fit.
