What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to pay a Bookkeeping Software Fee. Currently, Basecamp Fitness does not mandate the use of a specific bookkeeping vendor. However, this may change in the future. If Basecamp Fitness implements a required bookkeeping software, franchisees will be obligated to pay for the service, either to Basecamp Fitness or directly to the vendor.
The Bookkeeping Software Fee could cost up to $500 per month for each Basecamp Fitness studio. This fee would be incurred as services are provided.
It is important for prospective franchisees to note that while this fee is not currently mandatory, it could become so in the future. Therefore, franchisees should factor this potential expense into their financial planning. Franchisees should inquire with Basecamp Fitness about the likelihood and timing of implementing a mandatory bookkeeping software program to better prepare for this potential cost.
