What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bath Tune Up Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for specific costs associated with in-person training. While Bath Tune Up provides training for up to two people without charge, including one additional person at the same session as the original trainee, franchisees must cover all other expenses.
These expenses include lodging, airfare, car rental, meals, and wages for their employees during the training period. If a franchisee wishes to send additional people to either the same or later in-person training sessions, they will incur a charge of $150 per person per day, in addition to covering travel, accommodation, and wage costs.
Furthermore, Bath Tune Up may require franchisees or their designated personnel to attend additional training courses, seminars, or conferences that they deem relevant to the successful operation of the Bath Tune Up system. In these instances, the franchisee is responsible for all costs incurred by themselves and their employees, including travel, hotel, and meals. This means that while the training itself may be offered at no charge, the associated logistical and personnel costs are the franchisee's responsibility.
