The flow chart should outline those steps which a prospective franchisee needs to undertake to:

(1) be accepted as an prospective franchisee, 

(2) be interviewed and evaluated as a prospective franchisee, 

(3) be assigned as a franchisee, 

(4) be trained as a franchisee, and 

(5) be authorized to open and operate a new franchise unit. 

The flow chart simply provides an overview for the prospective franchisee to understand the steps in applying and becoming a franchisee.
