What This Means (2025 FDD)

Yes, according to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the business interruption insurance must cover the monthly fees payable to Aira Fitness Franchising LLC. The franchisee is required to maintain business interruption insurance that covers a minimum of 12 months of lost income, written on an actual loss sustained basis.

Specifically, the insurance policy must include coverage for the monthly fees that the franchisee owes to Aira Fitness. Furthermore, Aira Fitness must be named as a loss payee with respect to these fees, ensuring that in the event of a business interruption, Aira Fitness will receive direct payment for the fees owed to them.

This requirement ensures that Aira Fitness continues to receive its monthly fees even if the franchisee's business is temporarily shut down due to unforeseen circumstances. For a prospective franchisee, this means factoring in the cost of adequate business interruption insurance that meets these specific coverage requirements to protect both their interests and Aira Fitness's financial interests.
