What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Best Brains uses reasonable efforts to provide written notification of location or lease approval within 30 days after the location evaluation or lease information is available. This notification can either approve or disapprove the proposed location or lease.
This means that a prospective Best Brains franchisee can expect to receive a decision on their proposed site within approximately one month of submitting the necessary information. However, the FDD states that Best Brains will use 'reasonable best efforts' to deliver this notification within 30 days, implying that there may be circumstances where the notification could take longer.
It is important for potential franchisees to factor this approval timeline into their overall business launch plan, as they cannot sign any lease that has not been approved in writing by Best Brains. Franchisees must submit the lease to Best Brains for written approval at least fifteen days before it is scheduled to be executed.
