I am very interested and want to pursue my interest with BG. What is the next step?
You will need to complete our primary questionnaire. A BG representative will contact you to further discuss your franchise opportunity. After the phone interview, you will complete a financial and personal form that will be evaluated by the Officers of BG. If approved we will contact you to set up a date to visit the office in Tennessee and tour the shoppes.
