What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a bbSupport Fee. This fee is $1 per student, per subject (Math and English only), each month. This bbSupport Fee provides app support from certified teachers hired by the Best Brains corporate office to students enrolled in Math or English programs.
This fee structure means that a franchisee's bbSupport Fee will fluctuate depending on student enrollment in the Math and English programs. A center with more students enrolled in these core subjects will pay a higher fee, while a center with fewer students will pay less. This fee is ongoing and contributes to the support infrastructure provided by Best Brains.
It is important for prospective franchisees to consider this ongoing monthly fee when projecting their operating expenses. Understanding the student enrollment numbers needed to maintain profitability while paying this fee is crucial for financial planning. Franchisees should also inquire about how the app support is delivered and the qualifications of the certified teachers providing the support to fully understand the value proposition of this fee.
