For most WIN owners, it takes <strong>about three months<\/strong> from signing to launch, though your actual timeline depends on a few factors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Happens During the Launch?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between signing and opening your doors, there&#8217;s a set of milestones to work through.

A few things drive your specific timeline:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>State licensing requirements&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How quickly you complete training&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance and business setup&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equipment readiness&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much time you can personally dedicate each week&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Does WIN Support the Launch?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You won&#8217;t be figuring this out alone.
