NEXTAFF Franchise

The current franchisor, Nextaff One, LLC, was formed in Wyoming on January 27, 2026 and began offering franchises that day, according to its April 30, 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. Its parent, StaffCo Holdings, LLC, purchased certain assets from predecessor Nextaff Group, LLC on February 16, 2026, including franchise contracts and the NEXTAFF trade names. Nextaff Group had served as franchisor from 2016 through 2025. Nextaff One’s principal office is in Lenexa, Kansas.

The 2026 offering distinguishes three business formats. A Traditional Franchise is a new staffing business with a physical office. A Virtual Franchise operates from the owner’s home or another location without a dedicated physical office. A Conversion Franchise brings an independent staffing business into the system; qualifying businesses must have operated for at least one year and generated at least $500,000 in gross revenue. The standard initial franchise fee is $49,000 for Traditional and Virtual franchises, while conversion terms are separate.

Franchisees find clients and recruit candidates for temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire staffing within a designated industry vertical. NEXTAFF or its selected provider employs the temporary field employees and supplies payroll support, while the franchisee performs day-to-day hiring and management tasks and bills clients. The franchisee remains responsible for unpaid client accounts, supported by a collateral reserve arrangement; payroll support does not remove that collection risk. This division of responsibilities is central to the operating model.

Preparing a Traditional Franchise. Before opening, the franchisee hires a dedicated account manager or employee recruiter and a separate business development representative. The franchisee, account manager and business development representative must attend initial training. The FDD describes 20 hours of sales training, 20 hours of recruiting, 20 hours of staffing and filling client needs, and 10 hours of leadership, management and staffing finance. Delivery uses a learning management system, Microsoft Teams calls and telephone instruction. There is no initial training fee, but the franchisee pays compensation, travel, lodging and living expenses for attendees.

Training for other formats and additional practice. Virtual and Conversion franchisees receive a required Custom-Fit Training Plan based on experience and existing operations. The FDD also states that the core training applies to all formats. Initial training is scheduled no later than three months after the agreement is signed. NEXTAFF may require up to 10 additional days of on-site training for the owner or manager. Subjects include client service, sales and marketing, cash control, field-employee scheduling, operating costs and management responsibilities.

Launch assistance. For a Traditional Franchise, NEXTAFF reviews the proposed location and provides signage and decor specifications and assistance fitting the premises to system requirements. It may provide one employee for four days of sales, recruiting and operations guidance at opening, at its discretion. Virtual and Conversion franchisees receive access to a Microsoft Teams project-management process for opening. Franchisees also receive access to the electronic operations manual and the required business technology.

Ongoing operations and payroll support. Assistance may address finance, accounting, marketing, technology, employment relations, sales, recruiting and account management. The payroll program administers field-employee payroll and payroll taxes, unemployment processing, workers’ compensation administration and related deductions and payment processing. Franchisees enter payroll data weekly, bill clients and remain responsible for unpaid receivables. These services support local operations while the owner leads client development and recruiting.

Continuing education. NEXTAFF may require manager, supplemental and refresher training and may charge reasonable fees. The owner or a qualified representative must attend an annual training event if one is held. The FDD recommends Certified Staffing Professional training through the American Staffing Association before the first anniversary. On-site, third-party and continuing training can carry additional expenses.

NEXTAFF offers a business-to-business model built around two connected relationships: employers who need people and candidates seeking work. Temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire services give franchisees different ways to respond to those needs within their approved industry specialty. The combination of local sales and recruiting with centralized payroll administration provides a clear division of work for an owner who wants to build a staffing business.

The strongest fit is an owner comfortable with outreach, account management and team leadership. A Traditional Franchise starts with dedicated recruiting and business-development personnel, and day-to-day operations require full-time supervision by the owner or an approved trained manager. Owners using a manager generally remain active in oversight unless the agreement’s performance conditions are met. For that buyer, the appeal is a defined staffing system and specific training rather than having to design every operating process independently.
