What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's total current assets as of June 30, 2025, were $12,178,026. This figure represents the sum of Belocal's cash and cash equivalents ($7,231,415), prepaid expenses ($727,353), prepaid taxes ($2,013), and the amount due from an affiliate ($4,217,245).
Understanding the composition of current assets is crucial for prospective franchisees. Cash and cash equivalents indicate the company's readily available funds. Prepaid expenses represent payments made for goods or services not yet received, while prepaid taxes are taxes paid in advance. The amount due from an affiliate signifies money owed to Belocal by a related entity, which could introduce a degree of risk depending on the affiliate's financial stability.
It is also important to note that the company maintains its cash in a bank deposit account that at times may exceed federally insured limits. While the company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash or cash equivalents, this is still a risk to consider. A prospective franchisee should evaluate these assets in relation to Belocal's liabilities and overall financial health to assess the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations and support its franchisees.
