About Image

                  "The support from the corporate headquarters has been strong. From helping to evaluate our territory, to marketing, to tech support with the website and student portals, there is always someone available to help...One of the measures I have always used in life is to ask the question, ‘If given the chance, would I do this again?’ The decision that we made to sign on as the very first Life Start Franchisee was one that we most certainly would do again."
