IV Nutrition Franchise

The first affiliate-owned IV Nutrition clinic opened in Kansas City, Kansas, in February 2018. IV Nutrition Franchisor, LLC was established in Kansas on June 6, 2018 and began offering franchises that month. Based in Overland Park, the company developed a system of operating guidelines, clinic design specifications, training and marketing resources for independently owned IV Nutrition locations. The FDD identifies Jason Fechter and Tara Zeller as founders of the operating affiliate.

The April 30, 2026 FDD describes clinics where clients receive approved nutrition services through intravenous, intramuscular or oral delivery. A new clinic generally occupies 1,600–2,200 square feet. Owners use designated systems and approved products and obtain a Store in a Box package of furniture, millwork and interior signage from the franchisor’s construction affiliate.

The initial franchise fee for a single clinic is $49,500, with a separate $5,000 training fee. Qualified owners may also enter a development agreement for multiple clinics, with a separate franchise agreement for each location. Medical and non-medical owners can participate subject to state requirements; non-medical owners may need a separate licensed medical entity and management services arrangement for the clinical side of the business.

Owner and clinic director training begins online before in-person instruction. Owners complete at least five days with a corporate trainer, while designated clinic directors complete at least ten days. The franchisor determines training locations and schedules, and required trainees must meet its performance standards before opening. The FDD provides for up to three initial trainees without additional tuition beyond the stated initial fees; travel and living expenses remain the owner’s responsibility.

Training covers clinic flow, customer experience, operating policies, services, ordering, scheduling, employee management, point-of-sale and record systems, protocols, emergency procedures and financial administration. Before launch, the franchisor reviews the proposed site and lease, supplies staffing guidelines and operations materials, provides applicable prototype plans or buildout guidance, delivers the Store in a Box through its affiliate and reviews the initial marketing plan. The owner remains responsible for obtaining and developing the site, permits and construction arrangements.

Ongoing support includes information on system developments, techniques and operational improvements, suggested staffing guidelines, additional training programs and advice on operating problems identified through reports or inspections. Recurring education includes clinic director meetings, case and consultation reviews, online videos and assessments, plus owner sessions on marketing and business strategy. The franchisor administers a brand fund and may provide local campaign materials and digital templates; local marketing execution and associated costs remain with the franchisee.

IV Nutrition gives a business-minded owner a defined clinic format, separate learning paths for owners and clinic directors, and recurring education after opening. The appeal is the opportunity to build an organized local operation around a trained team and a consistent client experience, with design resources, operating guidelines and designated systems already specified.

The FDD permits management through an approved, trained manager or assistant manager who supervises the clinic on premises. An entity owner designates a principal with at least 25% equity, but that principal is not required to provide direct on-site supervision. This structure can suit an owner who is strong in recruiting, marketing and business oversight while relying on qualified clinic leadership and the professional structure required for clinical services.
