Under what condition must a Belocal franchisee complete a training and certification program to solicit leads for Hyport Digital?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be required to complete a training and certification program to solicit leads for and facilitate client relationships with Hyport Digital. This requirement is conditional, meaning it is not automatically mandatory for all franchisees.

The franchisor determines the specifics of this training and certification, and the standards are detailed in the Franchise Brand Standards Manual. The FDD specifies that completing the training is required if the franchisor requires it. This condition is part of the broader agreement that the franchisee's opportunity to work with Hyport Digital is subject to the terms of the agreement and the standards in the Franchise Brand Standards Manual.

This conditionality means that a prospective Belocal franchisee should confirm with the franchisor whether this training and certification program is currently required, what the training entails, and what costs are associated with it. The franchisee is also responsible for all of its costs associated with training, including without limitation transportation, lodging, other travel-related costs, and wages.
