What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to submit their gross sales report by the 10th of each month. This report must cover the period from the 11th of the previous month to the 10th of the current month.
In addition to the gross sales report, Best Brains franchisees must also submit other financial documents by the 10th of each month. These include a copy of the bank statement for the previous month, a copy of the payment report from the payment processing service (currently CSG Forte) for the period of the 11th of the previous month to the 10th of the current month, and a profit and loss statement for the preceding calendar month, along with a year-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheet.
Furthermore, franchisees must submit a calendar year-end balance sheet and an annual profit and loss statement within seventy-five days after the end of each calendar year. All reports submitted to Best Brains must be verified and signed by the franchisee. Failure to submit the gross sales report on time may result in Best Brains estimating the gross sales and using electronic funds transfer to collect any unpaid royalty fees, advertising contributions, or other amounts due.
