Floor Coverings International Franchisee Approval Process,
Your Path to Joining Our Family:
At Floor Coverings International (FCI), we’re looking for driven individuals who can achieve multimillion in revenues. Our ideal franchisees have passion, perseverance, GRIT, a strong commitment to success, a knack for leading teams, sales acumen, and the financial strength to meet our minimum requirements: approximately $300,000 liquid net worth and approximately $500,000 total net worth. Here’s how we find the right fit—your journey to becoming an FCI franchisee:
1. Connect with Our Franchise Developer
Your first step is a conversation with our Franchise Developer. They’ll walk you through what it takes to succeed with FCI and ensure you’re ready for the challenge. This is your chance to ask questions and see if we’re the right match—our team will let you know if it’s not the right fit early on.
2. Take the Caliper Personality Assessment
We use the Caliper Assessment to get to know you better. It highlights traits like leadership, determination, and sales ability—qualities we value in our franchisees. You’ll complete this online, and we’ll review the results to see how you align with our vision. Your developer at FCI will send you this assessment via a 3rd party link.
3. Join Us for Discovery Day
This virtual event is your opportunity to meet our executive team and learn more about FCI. We’ll share our story, and you’ll engage with us directly. It’s a two-way street—we’re evaluating your fit just as much as you’re exploring ours.
4. Complete a Virtual Interview
Show us who you are! You’ll answer 8 short written questions and record responses to 6 video questions. This step lets us see your communication skills, enthusiasm, and commitment to running an FCI franchise full-time.

What Happens Next?
